An unidentified speaker told the House Committee on Budget GOP they were asking to extend a temporary measure because "we did fail to bring down the cost of health care." The remark appears in a brief sequence of remarks recorded in the transcript (SEG 001–SEG 005).
The speaker opened by saying they "owe you an answer" for why they were asking to extend what had been presented as temporary and then said the reason was failure to lower health-care costs. The transcript does not identify the measure being discussed, provide figures, or record any motion or vote tied to the request.
Because the speaker did not name the program, bill, or regulation involved, and no additional context or staff response is recorded in these segments, the scope and consequence of the requested extension are not specified in the transcript. The record shows only the speaker's stated justification — continued high health-care costs — and no formal action or next step.
