Do you support
a vote in the House
on the enhanced
ACA tax credits
as is promised
in the Senate?
I think we need
to continue to look at
Health Savings Accounts.
Just this week
Wall Street Journal
editorialized
on something
that goes back to 2017
where individuals
have control over
their own
health accounts.
I think that's
another pathway
we could we could take.
But the idea
that we're just going
to keep throwing money
at a COVID-era fix
that was dreamed up
at the last second
makes absolutely
no sense to me.
I couldn't
support it right now.
What is your message
to your constituents
in your district
who may see
their ACA premiums
more than double
when these enhanced
credits expire?
Yeah, I think the first
thing I do is disagree
with the premise
that they're going to double.
There's a
couple of independent
think tanks
that have done
some analysis
since the
whole shutdown
and there are
some instances
where you could see
a significant increase
but there's others
where it will
be far less.
As a result of that
I think again
something we don't have
a handle on
Congress doesn't have
a handle on, and
for us to somehow
dream up
some new policy
without
doing the legwork
makes no sense to me at
this point.
