Can I at least get you to admit it's going to be an ad in every marginal district in 2026 that they voted against extending Obamacare subsidy? It'll be a lie, but it'll be an ad and they'll be voting against them. Well, The ads were already written about allowing it to expire. And that's, that's the fundamental problem. That's why I said this is political malpractice. Not to have a solution to this issue coupled with the larger reforms that we passed yesterday in the House that every Democrat voted against.
