Eyeliner Vice President JD Vance told CBS’s Face the Nation that Republicans believe much of the ACA tax credits go to a lot of waste and fraud, but offered no proof to back up his bogus talking point claim.
When discussing healthcare, the Republican “modus operandi” to defend the cuts they want to make to Medicare Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act is to scream “waste, fraud and abuse.” However, they never offer up proof of any kind but instead use these vacuous words to justify destroying healthcare access for millions of Americans.
VANCE: That’s all that Donald Trump is now saying to Chuck Schumer and the far left Democrats: we are not going to negotiate over opening the government. We’ll negotiate on health care policy, but only once you do your job and open up the people’s government.*
BRENNAN: Just a quick follow there, though, what is your vision for that health care policy? Do you want these tax credits to fade out over time, extend them, and then fade them out?
Are you open to making them permanent?
VANCE: Well, the tax credits go to some people deservedly, and we think the tax credits actually go to a lot of waste and fraud within the insurance industry. So we want to make sure that the tax credits go to the people who need them.
We also think that Obamacare gave the health insurance industry a lot of ridiculous regulations that if we cut out, we could give people access to better health care at a lower cost.
