I, for one, think that "calling on" friends and relatives (i.e., dropping by for a visit) is a lost art. My Millenial daughter is more comfortable with a text than a phone call.

Why won't Mike Johnson want us to see this? Because he wants to be the Ass-kisser in Chief?

I believe he's used 'affordability' himself:
“Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again.”

Yes! God, yes! Obamacare was the only thing Democrats could push through Congress in the face of opposition from Republicans (and from the health insurance lobbyists). Subsidies don't "fix" Obamacare; they only field dress a wounded warrior.
