“I would love to get the government open, and I would love to be able to let folks know that the healthcare they had in 2025 they would be able to have in 2026. I would like the President to do what Presidents do and that is get the parties together in a room and negotiate an outcome that works for all of us. Whatever we do in this--this is where I want to agree with both my chairman and ranking member--we have real work to do on the cost side of healthcare. We really all have to take that on. But the approach to dealing with the high cost of healthcare can't be taking people's healthcare away; it has to be making the healthcare they have more affordable.”
