What happened
Chairman Roger Williams, asked about expiring Obamacare subsidies with, as the host stated it, 11 legislative days left before they expire, said, as he stated it, that the subsidies do not need to exist and that, as the President has said in his account, individuals should own their own health care, make it portable, and be able to shop across state lines, letting competition drive prices down and service up, as he stated it. He said, as he stated it, that small businesses face continually rising health care costs — including in his own Texas business with hundreds of employees, as he stated it — and that individual ownership would give small business a break, as he stated it.
The interview also covered a House dispute over a defense bill provision and a proposed discharge petition on congressional stock trading, on which Williams said, as he stated it, that he wants to be careful not to limit members so much that nobody wants to serve, while agreeing that trading on material non-public information is wrong, as he stated it.
On Trump Accounts, Williams said, as he stated it, that the Treasury will contribute $1,000 to start each account and praised what the hosts described as an enormous donation from Michael and Susan Dell to supplement the accounts. He called the accounts, as he put it, like 401(k)s for kids, saying children will learn about return on investment and competition and might have enough at 18 to start a business, as he stated it. No tracked administration official speaks in the clip.
Why it matters
With the Obamacare subsidies days from expiring, the Small Business chairman states the administration-aligned position — no extension, individual ownership, cross-state shopping — and his Trump Accounts remarks show how the new children’s savings program is being pitched to the business community.
