Republicans PANIC as Fox Host ADMITS They’re SCREWED!

“Have You Lost Control?” Inside Congress’s Health Care Breakdown

“Have you lost control of the House?”

That question cuts deeper than it sounds. Because beneath the procedural excuses, the razor-thin majorities, and the endless finger-pointing, there’s a simpler truth most politicians refuse to say out loud: Congress hasn’t lost control of the House—it lost control of the system a long time ago.

What we’re watching now is the slow-motion collapse of credibility.

The defense is always the same. Small majorities. Unusual procedures. Extraordinary times. And yes, the current House majority is historically thin. That reality forces leadership to use tools that usually sit on the shelf. But that explanation only works for so long. Because the American people aren’t asking about process. They’re asking about outcomes. And on health care, the outcomes are brutal.

For the first time in two decades, health care is the number one financial concern in the country. Not gas. Not housing. Not even food. Health care. That alone should terrify anyone pretending the system is “working.”

And yet, here’s the paradox that drives Republicans insane: the Affordable Care Act is more popular than it has ever been.

Not because it’s cheap. Not because it’s elegant. But because Americans don’t see a credible alternative.

Polling shows more than 60 percent of Americans view the ACA positively. Why? Because when people are asked what Republicans would replace it with, there’s nothing there. No plan. No structure. No reassurance. Just vibes, talking points, and promises that collapse under scrutiny.

Republicans insist the system isn’t working—and they’re not wrong. When the government has to prop up a program with massive subsidies, that’s a sign of dysfunction. Insurance companies are raking in profits. Waste, fraud, and abuse are real. Dead people receiving subsidies is not a conspiracy theory—it’s documented failure.

But here’s where the argument falls apart.

If you know the system is broken, and you know who’s benefiting from that brokenness, why does every “solution” end up protecting the same winners?

Insurance companies sit at the center of American health care like a toll booth no one voted for. Prices rise. Access shrinks. Care gets rationed. And yet, profits explode. Two-thousand percent increases don’t happen in a healthy market. They happen in captured ones.

Everyone in Washington complains about the cost of health care. Almost no one is willing to admit why it’s expensive. We didn’t build a health care system—we built a billing system. A labyrinth of paperwork, middlemen, and profit extraction designed to enrich corporate executives while patients argue with customer service reps about whether they’re allowed to stay alive.

That’s not a market failure. That’s a design choice.

And that’s why messaging keeps failing. Republicans complain about affordability while defending the very structures that make care unaffordable. Democrats talk about reform w

hile protecting donors who profit from complexity. The result is paralysis dressed up as debate.

At some point, voters stop asking who’s right and start asking who’s lying.

That’s why the idea of Medicare for All refuses to die, no matter how aggressively it’s attacked. Not because people think government is perfect—but because they’re tired of rationing insulin against rent. Tired of skipping doctor visits. Tired of watching loved ones die of treatable conditions in the richest country on Earth.

Sixty thousand Americans die every year because they don’t get timely care. Life expectancy lags behind other wealthy nations. Working-class Americans live seven to eight years less than the rich. Prescription drugs cost more here than anywhere else. And we pay nearly twice as much per person as countries like Canada for worse outcomes.

What exactly is the function of this system?

Because it’s clearly not maximizing health.

The honest answer is uncomfortable: the system exists to generate profit for drug companies and insurers. Everything else is secondary. And they will fight—politically, legally, culturally—to protect that revenue stream. That’s why Medicare remains incomplete. No dental. No vision. No hearing. Not because seniors don’t need them, but because a weakened baseline creates space for privatized alternatives like Medicare Advantage.

Keep the public option just bad enough so people feel forced to upgrade. That’s not accidental. It’s strategy.

Even the failures of Medicare trace back to the same industry influence.

And yet, the moment someone suggests a more efficient, comprehensive public insurance system, the panic sets in. “Government takeover.” “Socialism.” “Loss of choice.” As if the current system offers meaningful choice to people who can’t afford to use it.

Here’s the irony no one wants to admit: an efficient government health insurance system would restore faith in democracy faster than almost anything else Congress could do. People don’t need perfection. They need reliability. They need to know getting sick won’t bankrupt them.

Instead, we get manufactured chaos.

Speaker Mike Johnson won’t even allow a vote to extend ACA tax credits, despite a looming deadline that could strip coverage from millions. Not because it’s unpopular. Not because it’s unaffordable. But because party loyalty now outweighs governance.

Republicans ran for years on repealing and replacing Obamacare. They promised something better. Cheaper. Smarter. And after all that time, all that rhetoric, all those shutdowns and standoffs, there’s still nothing on the table.

“Concepts of a plan” isn’t a punchline. It’s an indictment.

The Affordable Care Act itself isn’t radical. It’s not single payer. It’s not even close to a robust public option. It’s built on a Republican framework—Romneycare—designed to preserve private insurance dominance. And yet, tens of millions gained coverage because of it.

So when Republicans insist on tearing it down without replacement, people hear the message clearly: your premiums may go up, your coverage may vanish, and you’re on your own.

And the cost increases aren’t theoretical. A family paying $1,400 a month for coverage can’t absorb a doubling or tripling of premiums. That’s not “inconvenient.” That’s catastrophic. That’s eviction. That’s medical debt. That’s collapse.

This is why Americans are angry. Not confused. Not misinformed. Angry.

They see a Congress paralyzed by money. A system where conscience loses to donors. A legislature that argues endlessly while real people suffer the consequences. And they’re starting to ask the most dangerous question of all: why do we keep all of you?

When people talk about “burning it down,” this is what they mean—not violence, but rejection. Rejection of a political class that treats health care like a bargaining chip instead of a human necessity.

The system isn’t failing accidentally. It’s failing predictably. And until Congress confronts the reality that privatization without accountability is the disease—not the cure—nothing changes.

Health care isn’t just policy. It’s trust. It’s dignity. It’s survival.

And right now, Congress is proving—again—that it understands the problem perfectly and lacks the courage to fix it.
