It's not going to happen. Republican colleagues, you thought, oh, we can delay it so no one will know until after the 2026 elections. Bunk. It's starting already. Health care premiums are going to start spiking very soon. Hospitals and clinics are at great risk of closing now, not after 2026. Some have already shut their doors in Maine, Nebraska and other states. People in rural communities are worried sick that they will have to travel even further to get health care. In many rural counties, including some of mine in New York, the local hospital is the biggest employers. (05:56–06:11)
