Exclusive — Sen. Ron Johnson: Democrats Using Shutdown to Mask the Failures of Obamacare

[Hol]

Democrats are using their government shutdown to mask the failure of Obamacare, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

When asked if he was surprised that the shutdown has gone on this long — nearing a whole month — Johnson said, “I’ll never understand the mind of a Democrat, and they do some pretty, pretty wacky things.”

He explained why he believes Democrats are doing this, asserting that it all comes down to hiding the failures of Obamacare.

“Just so everybody understands, what they are primarily interested in doing is covering up, masking the failure of Obamacare,” he said, explaining that it is what extending all of the enhanced subsidies is about.

It is to “obviously mask how they allowed premiums to skyrocket on the individual market because the faulty design, the enhanced subsidies, that’s something they put in place during COVID. They’re supposed to be temporary. They scheduled them to expire,” he said.

From what I have been able to learn, the government shutdown by the Democrat leadership is actually to try and preserve the Obamacare 41 billion dollar annual handout to the big insurance companies who don't want to lose that cash cow ... which will happen if a clean CR is passed. The insurance industry has spent over 30 million dollars via 900 lobbyists in Washington to try and keep the government shut down until the Republicans agree to reinstate the Obamacare funding that will runnout by the end of this year. Of course, none of them wants to say this is the reason, so they give other reasons to hide the ugly truth.

I wish there was a way to force it out of them.
