Summary
Major begins his monologue discussing the backstory of ACA subsidies, how millions of Americans are affected by the measure, before reporting that both Democrat and Republican plans failed to pass the Senate, as was expected. Caitlin Huey-Burns explained the breakdown in plans for both parties, and spoke with Americans on Capitol Hill about how they're dealing with the rise in their premiums come January. Moments before the show went on air, Indiana lawmakers decided to vote against a congressional map that would have benefited the GOP makeup in the state. Hunter Woodall joins Major on set with more. Plus, Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Machado secretly traveled from Venezuela to Norway to receive her award, with the help of the Grey Bull Foundation. Lilia Luciano shares her exclusive interview with the man behind the organization: U.S. Special Forces veteran Bryan Stern. Join us right here on The Takeout!
