4. Do not trust Mike Johnson

Don't believe anything Mike Johnson says about ACA.

He voted for repeal of ACA in 2017.

Unfortunately, there are many GOP who are still in Congress who voted for repeal back in 2017.

If the premiums are too high and very few people sign up, they have effectively kill the subsidy part of the ACA.

Although there are other features that remain such as no lifetime limits.

Time is of the essence in resolving this.

Some Americans could be in the middle of cancer treatments or other life-saving treatments and cannot risk an interruption in treatment.

I would be skeptical of any Republican that voted for the repeal of ACA saying we will look at subsidies later.
