#34 - Making the American Dream Affordable Again Takes 2.0
Taryn Bragdon, CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability, joins Right to the Point for a special episode to break down the RSC's plan for making homeownership affordable again alongside FGA Senior Fellow April Martin. The two dig into why creditworthy Americans are stuck renting, from crushing down payment requirements to frozen inventory caused by locked-in low interest rates. Martin walks through the polling: 93% say housing costs are too high, and nearly 70% of renters want a single-family home, not a government housing unit. Bragdon lays out the RSC's reconciliation framework to get it done, covering zero to low down payment options, mortgage assumability and portability, rent-to-own capital gains relief, and letting Americans use retirement savings to help loved ones buy a home. Each reform polls at 70 to 80 percent. Now it's time to get it across the finish line.Find us on all social media platforms @RepublicanStudy.

#30 - The Biggest Bait and Switch in History? Obamacare.
Rep. Eric Burlison (MO-07) sits down with Rep. Michael Cloud (TX-27) and Rep. Kevin Hern (OK-01) to expose why Obamacare is a failed system that cannot be fixed through Washington's typical Band-Aid approach on the latest episode of Right to the Point.The three RSC members break down how Obama's signature law has delivered sky-high premiums, restricted access to doctors (especially in rural America), and enriched insurance companies while leaving the same 25-30 million Americans uninsured 15 years later. They zero in on why Republicans must stop tinkering around the edges and instead rebuild the entire health care system from scratch, centered around what patients actually want: affordable access to care with transparent pricing.Rep. Cloud and Rep. Hern detail the multiple layers driving up costs, from insurance company profits to pharmacy benefit managers to hospital pricing schemes, and why RSC's comprehensive policy approach provides the perfect forum to tackle this head-on.Find us on all social media platforms @RepublicanStudy.
