U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin, a Republican representing Oklahoma, posted several messages on December 17, 2025, discussing the Affordable Care Act and gas prices in his state.

In a post at 14:21 UTC, Mullin commented on the origins and legislative history of the Affordable Care Act, stating: “Yep, . Americans know:

Dems wrote Obamacare.

Obamacare passed w/ no GOP votes.

Dems created the Obamacare COVID credits (to hide their high costs) w/ no GOP votes.

Then, Dems extended those credits AND chose a Dec 2025 expiration date… w/ no GOP votes.” He attributed responsibility for both the creation and extension of related credits to Democratic lawmakers.

Shortly after, at 14:30 UTC, Mullin addressed questions regarding Republican involvement in health care policy by highlighting recent legislative efforts: ‘”So, the Democrats 100% own the Obamacare failure, what about Republicans!”

Glad you asked. Last week, @SenateGOP put the “Health Care Freedom for Patients Act” on the floor to lower premiums, put money back in YOUR pocket instead of insurance companies, and prevent taxpayer’. In this message, he pointed to a new bill introduced by Senate Republicans aimed at reducing insurance premiums and increasing financial returns for consumers.

Later that day at 16:43 UTC, Mullin turned his attention to local economic issues with an update on fuel prices across Oklahoma: “Gas prices continue to DROP in Oklahoma.

Midwest City has $1.82 per gallon. ️

According to @GasBuddy: OKC, Edmond, Tuttle, Norman, Ardmore, Muskogee, Tulsa, and Lawton ALL have gas stations with fuel UNDER $2/gallon.”
