Julie Rovner: Hello, and invite back to “What the Health?” I’m Julie Rovner, chief Washington reporter for KFF Health News, and I’m signed up with by a few of the very best and most intelligent health press reporters in Washington. We’re taping today on Thursday, September 26th, at 10 a.m. As constantly, news takes place quick, and things may have altered by the time you hear this. Here we go.
Today we are signed up with by means of teleconference by Lauren Weber of The Washington Post.
Lauren Weber: Hello hi.
Rovner: Alice Ollstein of Politico.
Alice Miranda Ollstein: Good early morning.
Rovner: And Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Schools of Public Health and Nursing, and Politico.
Joanne Kenen: Hi, everyone.
Rovner: Big props to Emmarie for hosting recently while I remained in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Daily reunion. I had a fun time, however I revived an unwanted keepsake in the type of my very first verified case of covid. Apologies in advance for the state of my voice. Now, let us get to the news.
To take a heading from Politico previously today, Congress lined up in punt development, passing a continuing resolution that will need them to come back after the election for what might be a hectic lame-duck session. Someone advise us who desired this result– the Let’s just do the CR through December — and who desired it to enter into next year? Begin, simple concern.
Ollstein: Well, the kicking it to right before Christmas, which establishes the phase for what we’ve seen numerous times before where it simply gets jammed through and individuals who have objections, usually conservatives who wish to slash costs and include on a lot of policy riders, which they attempted and stopped working to do this time, will have a weaker base to run from, considered that everyone wishes to go home for the vacations.
Therefore when again, we’re seeing individuals mad at Speaker Mike Johnson, who, once again and once again, although he is completely from the tough right of the celebration, is not accommodating their concerns as much as they would like. Therefore clearly his speakership depends upon which celebration wins control of your home in November. I believe even if Republicans win control, I’m currently beginning to hear rumblings of tossing him overboard and changing with somebody who they believe will cater to them more.
Rovner: It was so remembrance all over once again, which is, in 2015, as we approached October 1st and the Republican House might not pass any sort of a continuing resolution with simply Republican votes, that ultimately Kevin McCarthy needed to turn to Democrats, which’s how he lost his task.
