Who?

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA)

Ask a Pol asks:

Are you worried about what Democrats are warning about, these huge health insurance premium hikes slated to hit folks back in Iowa in the new year?

Key Ernst:

“These were expanded premium subsidies for Covid,” Sen. Joni Ernst exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “And when people talk about subsidies going away — subsidies are not going away. The expanded subsidies are going away, but we still have subsidies.”

Caught our ear:

Feels like there’s not dialogue happening about how to end the government shutdown?

“No, I think there is dialogue,” Ernst tells us. “It’s on a much smaller scale.”
