While Offering no Proof, Vance Says ACA Credits Fuel Fraud

For so many people, their health care is running toward a cliff, and if we don't fix this, it's going to go right over it, and having some vote without an assured outcome." ...

Sen Kelly seems to be pointing to the current Trump admin's current practice of ignoring Congress regarding the spending of money approved by Congress.
