Faux News host Maria Bartimoro interviewed medical quack Dr. Mehmet Oz who owns millions in stocks in the same health insurance companies his department oversees:
One can't telegraph what one doesn't have, right? There is no secret that the Republican Party wants to destroy the ACA and worse, prevent universal healthcare for all of its residents, unlike countries like Germany, Israel, the UK, or Canada. Every year an average 530,000 Americans declare medical bankruptcy, something unheard of those countries. The US for-profit healthcare industry and Big Pharma are simply too lucrative and too powerful to oppose. The Republican Party and the oligarchs don't care about the masses anyway, seeing the peons simply as something disposable or worse, food. Republicans and Democrats in Congress are well-insulated from healthcare crises with their platinum medical coverage. Congressmen and Senators have access to a first-class medical clinic hidden away in the US Capitol, overseen by USN Rear Admiral Dr. Brian Patrick Monahan, the "Attending Physician of the United States Congress."
The frontispiece of the uber-wealthy American oligarchy, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), held a six-minute press conference, then fled before he could answer any questions about saving the tax subsidies for the ACA.
Then the waffle king would not commit when CNN's Jake Tapper pressed him on bringing a vote to the floor to address health care affordability before the ACA tax subsidies expire: Bye-bye ACA tax subsidies.
