Speaker Johnson on Medicaid: It Is the Republicans Who Are Doing the Best for Hard Working Americans

RUSH EXCERPT:
Johnson: “Yeah, look, I don‘t disagree with that. Of course, there‘s lots of people on Medicaid in our party and and others. But again, if they look at the final package and the details of what has come through the house, I think we reached the right point. And, Jake, it also brings up the very important point that we‘re trying to do this on a very aggressive timetable. The reason I tried to get this done, and we did get it done before Memorial Day and send it to the Senate. And so the president can be signing this into law by independence day on July 4th. Why is that so important? Because we‘ve got to get relief to the American people, and that we also need to, for political purposes, show give a lot of time, enough time for everyone to see that this package actually is what we say. It‘s going to help the country, it‘s going to help the economy. It‘s going to help all boats to rise, just as we did after the first two years of the Trump Administration. And so we‘re anxious to get this signed into law so people feel it and see it before that midterm election, and they understand it is the Republicans who are doing the best for hard working Americans, low income families and everyone who deserves a better shot.”
