There are those trying to push America backward with Project 2025, a 900-page plan to return to failed economic policies, union busting, and tax breaks for the wealthy. They aim to cut Medicare, Social Security, and student loan forgiveness, eliminate the Department of Education, and end head start. This would harm working families while giving tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. They also plan to end the Affordable Care Act, allowing insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions. America has tried these policies before, but we will not go back.

Health care insurance rates under the Affordable Care Act in Connecticut are going up by 16.8%. This is the highest number in years and it's gonna mean that there are a lot of families in Connecticut who now won't be able to afford health insurance who are now gonna be uninsured. These rates are going up because Donald Trump chose to push your rates up. They wrote a bill, Republicans and Donald Trump earlier this year, that slashed the support that goes to families who buy Affordable Care Act plans. in Connecticut, that's about a quarter of a million people. So you just need to know that these rates didn't need to go up by this much. Donald Trump is choosing for you to pay more on health care. The richest Americans are gonna get a $270,000 tax cut out of this bill. You need to understand that these massive rate increases in Connecticut are due to Donald Trump's policies.

Republicans cheered after winning a Senate vote that will take away healthcare from around 17,000,000 people, give tax breaks to billionaires, and increase the national debt by $3.5 trillion. The bill is economically and morally bad, but the fight continues. Democrats were able to improve some aspects of the bill, such as removing the tax on solar and wind. The bill now goes to the House, where some Republicans are uneasy. In November 2026, those who voted for the bill will have to face voters and explain their actions. The fight continues because it is the right thing to do.

This congress is allegedly intent on passing a heartless budget that would result in the largest cut in Medicaid in American history to partially pay for tax cuts for Donald Trump's billionaire best friends. Medicaid is described as a lifeline that this Republican majority is trying to rip away from millions of Americans. The speakers claim they will not let them get away with policies that are a matter of life and death to their constituents. They are allegedly here to fight for those who voted against the president, those who didn't vote, and those who voted for the president but dislike what they are seeing. Republicans in congress and this administration purportedly only care about billionaires that fund their campaigns and are willing to hurt everyone to help the wealthiest. The power of the people is allegedly greater than the people in power.

Republicans in Congress have opposing views, but the president remains committed to his plan.

**Speaker 0:** 212 Democrats voted against no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. If the government makes money and spends it responsibly, taxes aren't necessary. The new administration is holding the government accountable, and people are mad about it. **Speaker 1:** There's no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security in the budget resolution. Taxes are normal. This utopia where nobody pays taxes isn't going to work. Read the budget before lecturing people about it.

Many of you benefited from the $1.9 trillion tax cut, which is great to hear. However, if you're like me, your taxes will actually increase, not decrease.

The committee is currently distracted from discussing meaningful improvements to Americans' health care. Instead, it is revisiting established science on vaccines and the role of the federal government in providing affordable health care. There is a clear stance among Democrats on the finance committee regarding lowering costs and enhancing care, but the same clarity cannot be applied to the nominee present.

Stripping healthcare away from the American people effectively guts parts of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid as it is known.

I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. That is simply not true. Since day one of my predecessor's presidency, prices have not gone down; they have gone up. Inflation is getting worse. The prices of gas are high. Their plan is awful. The Republican plan is simple: Billionaires win, and families lose. That is the truth.

I made it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Poor people depend on it for their healthcare. His budget calls for deep cuts to Medicaid, and he needs to protect it. We need to raise the cap on Social Security and protect Medicare. These are vital safety net programs. I'm willing to accept any punishment for speaking out, because it's worth it to stand against the President's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. This is about people losing their healthcare in the richest country in the world. Healthcare has become wealth care, and we can't let that happen. I'm also working on articles of impeachment. This President is unfit for office with 34 felony convictions and two impeachments. He has no mandate to cut Medicaid.

Donald Trump's extreme Project 2025 agenda aims to weaken the middle class by cutting Social Security and Medicare, giving tax breaks to the wealthy, and repealing the Affordable Care Act.

The president wants to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse from Medicaid to protect it for tax-paying citizens. His priority is the sick, needy, and poor Americans who deserve these benefits, not the 1,400,000 illegal aliens allegedly receiving them.

The president has communicated this message to senators.

The speaker argues that the Obama and Biden administrations created and extended health-insurance subsidies, not to help individuals, but to fuel a cash pipeline to insurance companies. They claim that the policy began as a temporary expansion of subsidies in 2021, intended to help voters in 2022 and 2024, but now that the election is over, the subsidies will expire in 2025 and premiums will surge. Key points emphasized: - Premiums are currently subsidized: if a typical premium is $600 a month, the speaker says people pay $400 and the government sends $200 to insurance companies, effectively providing $24 billion a year in free money to big insurers. - In 2025, the discounts are said to disappear, causing the bill to revert to $600 or higher. The claim is that Democrats allowed this to happen and knowingly prepared for the premium spike. - The subsidies were expanded temporarily in 2021, but the speaker asserts they were not meant to help voters indefinitely; after the election, the impact is that premiums will rise. - The core assertion is that this is not primarily about health care, but about a cash flow to insurance companies. The speaker contends insurers lobby for subsidies and donate to keep them coming, and when subsidies expire, blame shifts to the other side while insurers profit. - The speaker claims Trump did not create this; Obama did, and Biden extended it only until after the election. The current gridlock is described as political theater because the real election has ended and the dispute is between insurance companies and the general public. - Democrats are portrayed as fighting for their next campaign donation checks from major insurers (UnitedHealthcare, Pfizer, Blue Cross) and for donor interests rather than for individuals. - The speaker asserts that people will experience rising premiums in 2025 and will beg for relief, while they blame the opposing party. A contrast is drawn between government spending that is criticized (e.g., $6 billion for Ukraine) and the claim of $24 billion per year for insurance companies. - The concluding message is that the money is not for you; you are the hostage and the insurers are the kidnappers. The claim remains that each party will let this happen again, and thus, neither Democrats nor Republicans work for the people. - The speaker urges viewers to stop voting for either side and to share the message if they are sick of it.

We can eliminate debt, provide childcare, elder care, and strengthen healthcare. Everyone should have access to the same benefits as during COVID. President Biden is thanked for beating Medicare. President Trump is criticized for destroying it.

The speaker asserts there is an enormous amount of waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, particularly within Medicare. They claim past proponents of budget cuts are now opposing efforts to eliminate waste. The speaker states that eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare will require cuts, with the goal of cutting the "bad stuff" while preserving the "good stuff." The speaker accuses certain individuals, identified by a picture, of rooting against these efforts, labeling them as examples of waste, fraud, and abuse.

The speaker acknowledges that people will be hurt by a particular vote. They state that they worked hard to achieve a budget deal that would avoid the provision that led to the negative impact.

The transcript centers on a critique of Democrats and the healthcare industry, framing the Capitol Hill hearing as evidence of a coordinated effort to undermine President Trump’s health care agenda. It asserts that Democrats and “the big insurance companies” are “combining forces to sabotage president Trump on Capitol Hill,” and claims this is exemplified by coverage and clips available on the speaker’s website and social media. Key points highlighted: - Democrats, Obamacare architects, and the pharmaceutical/insurance cartel are alleged to be “working in lockstep to block president Trump’s patient first health care agenda.” - Ahead of the hearing, the speaker says Loomer Unleashed warned how the proceedings would unfold, asserting that corporate health care executives aligned with Democrats against President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and the American people. - The speaker claims Democrats deployed Obama operatives—people featured on Barack Obama’s White House website—as “experts” on health care, alongside anti-Trump radical left activists who allegedly pretended to be health care experts, to blame Republicans for the health care crisis without addressing Obamacare’s effects. - Congressional Republicans, specifically Jason Smith and Randy Feenstra, are quoted as arguing that Democrats want to cast blame elsewhere because they do not accept responsibility for Obamacare, which the speakers say was always going to be a disaster. - A clip from Speaker 1 describes the hearing as “the first of more to come examining the entire health care sector.” The stated purpose is to question some of the largest health insurers about why costs are rising and how health care can be made more affordable for all Americans, asserting that Democrats in the majority previously ignored this issue. - The speaker claims that Americans are still struggling to afford basic care, with premiums “exploding” and patients being delayed and denied care “every day.” - The hearing is said to have shown that, instead of demanding accountability, a senior Democrat reassured CEOs with the statement, “it’s not your fault,” implying the Democrats’ recognition that costs rose under Obamacare. - The claim is reiterated that, after fifteen years of a Democrat-created health system under Obamacare, prices have “only gone up, not down.” The speaker indicates there is extensive video and article coverage of the hearing available online, including numerous clips and a summary article that highlights these points. The overall narrative portrays Obamacare as a disaster, accusing Democrats of avoidance of responsibility and of manipulating the hearing to deflect blame away from policy outcomes.

The speaker addresses concerns about Medicaid cuts, arguing that many proposed cuts are sensible. The first cut limits federal health program eligibility based on citizenship status, affecting those here illegally. The second eliminates Medicare coverage of bad debt, which is unpaid debt after insurance pays. Currently, taxpayers cover up to 65% of Medicaid bad debt, incentivizing hospitals to inflate prices. The proposed change would stop this practice. The third is Medicare site neutrality, ensuring Medicare and Medicaid patients are charged the same prices as those with private insurance or cash. The speaker claims these three cuts alone amount to over $200 billion in savings and suggests that people would agree with these cuts if they researched them.
