EXCERPT:
ROY: “Yeah. Well, first of all, the vote that’s on the floor right now is a technical correction to the rule, that was a mistake made yesterday. Now, I voted against the ruling committee because I wasn’t at a place where I felt like we should advance the product last night. I’m still in that place, right? I’m still looking through the bill. We got it yesterday. I asked every witness at the panel in the Rules Committee yesterday if they’d read the bill, who were testifying on the bill, and they hadn’t read it, Will. This is no way to do things. So I’m trying to go through the bill and understand it. For example, you just went through that list of facts. I stand behind every single one of those. I will note that I’ve now gotten a little bit more information on some of the Medicaid stuff that I feel like it’s a little bit better than I originally anticipated, but I still have concerns. So that’s what we’re doing right now. We’re meeting with some folks in the White House here in the Capitol, trying to understand how we think some of this would get implemented. I still have massive reservations about the Green New Scam subsidies and the overall spending levels. So we’re trying to work through those to see where we can go from here.”
