Republicans are resisting pressure to include Obamacare premium tax credits

Republicans are resisting pressure to include Obamacare premium tax credits in the Stopgap Funding bill which would fund the government until November 21.  In this episode of The Heartland Daily Podcast, AnneMarie Schieber, managing editor of Health Care News and Devon Herrick, of the Goodman Institute Health Blog discuss why Republicans should resist that idea.  Also on tap, how health insurance premiums have increased 297 percent in the past 24, the rising cost of having a baby, whether there is a special interest campaign to get HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. fired, Trumps’ news conference on Tylenol and autism, and in a $5 trillion industry, how is it that bankruptcies in health care are on the rise?
