Ainsley, Texas, back in the
Ainsley Texas, back in the
Supreme Court, once again
urging justices to strike down
Obamacare the states. Next
republican congresswoman, Beth
Van Duyne, calling health care
law, one of the biggest lies in
american history.
It was her daughters, pre,
existing health condition
that first got her into politics,
and she says reform is needed
that the affordable healthcare
act is failing. America,
Congresswoman Elect Beth Van Du
Yne joins us now good
morning.
Tell us your story about your
daughter.
Well, you know my daughter
when she was first born. She was
identified as having an eye
condition.
They didnt know necessarily
what it was, but she ended up
having nine surgeries her first
year and we had to fight with
companies to make sure those
were covered.
No parent should have to do that,
but what we found was- and
this is a long time ago, but
preexisting conditions are very
important that we have covered.
I dont think any Republican
would say anything different,
but the fact is that, through the
affordable care act, even
the Washington Post called it.
You know the biggest lie of the
year.
Part of the problem is
everything that they promised
was a complete failure.
They promised they were going to
have a relationship between
doctors who be able to keep your
doctor that didnt happen.
They promised it was going to
have effects on increasing
quality that didnt happen. The
exact opposite happened.
They said it was going to cause
less expensive insurance and
weve all seen our insurance
rates skyrocket
were getting less quality, less
care and its costing us more
money, and you think about today
that was that bill was drafted
under Nancy Pelosi in the
middle of the night and now
fast forward to today, where
youve got Nancy Pelosi, who has
knowingly and proudly publicly
admitted that she has not passed
a covid relief funding which has
caused the suffering of millions
of people all for political
politics.
She didnt want to pass a bill
under President Trump and now
were in a position right now,
where millions of Americans are
needlessly suffering.
People who cant put food on
their table, cant pay their
mortgage, have lost everything
all their small businesses
because of political failure,
and you know I would say to
those folks the proud Democrats
who stood up and said they were
going to be an independent voice,
that they were going to not be a
Pelosi puppet. They need to
stand up to a speaker whose
caused need less suffering and
because of that, because she has
proudly admitted publicly that
she would not provide the relief
for millions of Americans. Nancy
Pelosi is unfit to be speaker of
the House
Ainsley. So when you go to
Washington, what do you want to
do?
I want to work with people
who actually want to get things
done.
I want to work with people who
are caring of the american
people who dont want to see
them needlessly suffer? Who
recognize that in the days that
were in that we have a lot of
work to do that we need to work
together and that we need to
stop just looking at the sound
bites and getting together
working on affordable care act
and working on not affordable
care. But working on healthcare
that will actually provide
quality
Ainsley. You want options right
and lack at folks who are
suffering right now and realize
Congress has a job to do and
that we cannot stand by a
speaker who would cause needless
suffering of millions
of Americans for no reason other
than she doesnt want to pass a
bill under President Trump
Ainsley. Thank you so much. We
wish you all the best.
