John – Dan Crenshaw here. This week, I made the case for why Speaker McCarthy’s opening of an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden is warranted. I also called out Biden for his proposed rule change that will actually limit millions of Americans’ access to short-term health insurance. The End-Of-Quarter FEC fundraising deadline is just two weeks away.

Now, here’s your campaign brief: HERE’S WHY THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AGAINST BIDEN IS WARRANTED CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO READ Speaker McCarthy announced the House of Representatives would open an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. You’re going to see a lot of hand wringing from the left and their allies in the media about this commonsense step, so I wanted to share my thoughts on this subject and why I support opening this inquiry. Yes, it’s reasonable to open an impeachment inquiry when a particularly suspicious set of facts has emerged that warrant further investigation. Let’s review those facts: Almost $20 million in payments were directed to Biden’s associates and family through different shell companies, according to bank records. The Treasury Department obtained more than 150 transactions involving the Bidens and other associates that were flagged by American banks as “suspicious activity.” There’s eyewitness testimony that Joe Biden joined multiple phone calls and had conversations that resulted in cars and millions of dollars being given to Hunter Biden and his son’s business partners. Hunter Biden implicated his dad in conversations with CCP officials, with whom he was attempting to do business. A WhatsApp message from Hunter in 2017, obtained by the IRS, stated “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.” This was in regards to a $100,000 payment to Hunter from a suspected CCP official and businessman. The White House story on this subject has changed multiple times, which only increases suspicions. First, they claimed that Joe Biden had no knowledge whatsoever of Hunter Biden’s business dealings. And now, after facts have emerged that expose the obvious lie of their original claim, they are saying that Joe Biden was not *involved* in Hunter Biden’s business. This rapid about-face in the White House’s response raises serious concerns. An impeachment inquiry will allow access to more documents that could highlight corruption or pay-for-play. It will provide the apex of investigative authority and is necessary for the House to perform proper oversight. This inquiry will help House Republicans to get the facts. If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t oppose a fact-finding mission. I will keep you updated as this inquiry proceeds. BIDEN IS TRYING TO STOP MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FROM RECEIVING SHORT-TERM HEALTH INSURANCE CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO READ Here’s one for the ages. The President who accuses Republicans of trying to take away health care access is limiting your access to short-term health plans. This is part two of the great, “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan” lie. In 2018, the Trump Administration expanded plan offerings by removing unnecessary federal requirements around short-term health insurance. The idea is simple: if you need comprehensive long-term coverage, you get comprehensive long-term coverage. If you need short-term insurance – maybe you’re between plans or young and healthy – get short-term insurance. It’s grounded in the principle of choice. Biden doesn’t like the concept of short-term coverage, and claims that he is protecting the consumer. But while he thinks he knows better than you, his policy ignores some really important facts: We will have more uninsured people without these plans. Based on an average of projections from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of the Actuary, the Congressional Budget Office, the Center for Health Economy, the Urban Institute, and the Commonwealth Fund, the current proposed changes to the 2018 rule will likely leave millions of Americans uninsured. In addition, the regulatory impact analysis concedes that spending will increase. So, we’re spending more money to insure fewer people? That’s backwards. Effectively, this will eliminate a key protection for people with preexisting conditions. It would mean that a person who gets sick during the coverage period will lose insurance protection when that coverage period ends. Why? Biden’s proposal would destroy the current 1 year coverage timeframe by limiting the short-term insurance to 3 months with a single 1 month renewal. This would also impact a person that is unemployed for more than 3 months. The current regulation offers coverage at lower premiums, and the Biden policy would increase premiums and cost to the taxpayer. The non-partisan U.S. CBO reports that these short-term plans often “have lower deductibles or wider provider networks than plans in the fully regulated nongroup market” at premiums “as much as 60 percent lower than premiums for the lowest-cost bronze plan.” Short-term plans strengthen the market. Some individuals who lose short-term coverage will choose Affordable Care Act coverage instead, where they will face substantially higher premiums, narrower networks and higher cost-sharing. How do we know this? Last year 78% of premiums collected by insurers for their exchange plans came not from the people enrolled in the plan but from the federal government’s subsidies – a reflection of rising costs. Expect federal spending of your taxpayer dollars to go up. Let me spell it out in simple terms. For 10 months out of the year, people cannot buy ACA plans, and the Biden Administration’s solution is to punish people that don’t purchase comprehensive coverage. Everyone has unique needs, and the last thing we should be doing is narrowing the number of plan options for all Americans. Let Americans choose what’s best for them.
