AFP's Dean Clancy: ObamaCare Myths Aren't Worth Shutting Down The Government Over

Posted • November 3, 2025: On The Mike Gallagher Show, Dean Clancy from Americans for Prosperity sets the record straight: ObamaCare is not the reason Democrats have shut down the government. Clancy explains how Democrats are using expiring temporary pandemic-era subsidy boosts to create fear, push $1.5 trillion in new spending, and demand free government health care for undocumented immigrants and how that’s simply not a serious offer. Clancy breaks down the real stakes in this policy fight, why Democrats continue to “own” voter trust on health care, and the positive vision Republicans must present to win the debate.
