Speaker Mike Johnson returned to Congress after the 43-day shutdown with the confidence of a man who thinks he’s Batman. He claimed that Republicans would continue to reduce healthcare costs and lower prices for American families. But one can’t help but wonder what he means by “continue.”
Johnson framed the day as a restart. Congress is back for a legislative session, and Republicans are ready to “deliver” on their commitments. But how could he leave his “big plans” for healthcare out of the conversation? “We’re going to continue to reduce the cost of healthcare. We got big plans to do that,” he said. And he didn’t stop with his lies there.
