Mike Johnson previews ‘more reforms coming to try to fix Obamacare,’ but after government reopens

Published October 3, 2025 1:13pm ET



House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) indicated his preparedness to reform Obamacare but remained adamant that he would only discuss it with Democrats when the federal government is reopened.

“We have more reforms coming to try to fix Obamacare, which is not working for the people, but you need common sense, responsible Republicans who are serious about policy to fix that for the people,” Johnson told reporters Friday. “That’s what we’re working to do. The Democrats are stalling that because they need a political talking point.”
