1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: We want to lower premiums for all Americans. Second, we're 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: proposing options that actually expand access to all Americans. When 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Democrats pass through disastrous healthcare law in twenty ten, they 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: promised that if you like your plan, you can keep it. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: They promised choice, they promised you low costs. Not a 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: single one of those promises were true, not one. In fact, 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: healthcare premiums have risen over sixty percent since the implementation 8 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: of the Affordable Care Act. And I ask you this, 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: profitability from the insurance companies are six hundred percent greater 10 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: since Obamacare. Has your income increased six hundred percent? Ask 11 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: yourself that I know mine hasn't. 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: That's Representative Lisa McLain, she's a congresswoman. They're out of Michigan. 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: And this was the House Republicans saying, listen, we've got 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: a plan for healthcare. And really it's about the idea 15 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: where the money goes. It's not a repeal of Obamacare. 16 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: It's not putting an end to the Affordable Care Act. 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: It's not actually the things that are necessary in order 18 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: to get back to a market based system where costs 19 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: can go down. 20 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: Tony Katz. Tony Katz today, great to be here, great 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: to be with you. 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: This is just changing how the money flows. That's what 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: we're discussing here, and that's what they want to get past. 24 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: It isn't I don't think it's going to the House. 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: Republicans proposed healthcare plan with no extension of the tax credits. 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: That's how the Guardian tells the story. 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: We're talking about. 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: No subsidies for Obamacare, which means that the price of 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: health insurance for people on Obamacare is going to go up. 30 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 2: The problem is we were told that Obamacare, the Affordable 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: Care Act, was gonna make prices go down. We also 32 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: never admit to the fact that these subsidies were things 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: that happened in COVID. And now Democrats say, well, this 34 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 2: is just the way it has to be. So Obamacare 35 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: doesn't lower any costs. Barack Obama's a liar and a fraud. 36 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: You don't get better care. We now offer subsidies to 37 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: people because of COVID, and now we have to extend 38 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: those subsidies, and if we don't, we're raising healthcare costs. 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: That's how the political left does math. That's how they 40 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: attack the citizenry. That's how much they hate you. I 41 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: do not care if the costs go up on Obamacare. 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: What I understand is a political reality, which is that 43 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: hurts the midterms. Oh I don't like it at all, 44 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: and yes, I'm willing to engage the fight on this. 45 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: But what I have said it is is I think 46 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: if Republicans are presented this option of extending Obamacare subsidies, 47 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 2: they will do it because we're the ones who said 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: from the very beginning in this whole fight, remember all 49 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: the shutdown and everything else, this was the Democrats trying 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: to keep the issue because they knew Trump was going 51 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: to steal it from them. 52 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 3: Trump was a populist, not a conservative. 53 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: Of course, it'll extend the tax credits, the subsidies for Obamacare. 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: Of course he will. There's no question, there's no doubt, 55 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: there's no debate. 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: Are we all silly? We knew exactly what was going 57 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: to happen. Democrats knew, and they couldn't have that. They 58 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: had to be their subject. So now after caving on 59 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: the shutdown, now they're saying they won three years of 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies. 61 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: We mean three years, how about three months? Nope? How 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: about a year? Nope? Two years? 63 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: No, they're being intransigent. They're demanding three years, So what 64 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: has to happen? They have to be snapped into. These 65 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: Democrats have to learn that they are going to lose. 66 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: The problem is they don't care if they lose. 67 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: They want you to believe that the real issue here 68 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: is that healthcare premiums will go up on millions of 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: Americans twenty two million Americans as reported who purchase their 70 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: coverage through ACA marketplace using these tax credits. The reality 71 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: is they don't care. They're all or nothing approach shows it. 72 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: It is very much a terroristic thought process. 73 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: If we get what we want, we win. If we 74 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: don't get what we want, we win. Either way. 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: We want to hurt the other guy more than we 76 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: want to help anybody. That's who Chuck Schumer and Akeem 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: Jeffries are. And I favor them losing. I favor them 78 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: getting broken their strangleholds, this nonsense. I favorite being ripped apart. 79 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: And then Republicans can offer here, here's an opportunity to 80 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: keep cost Hell, why won't Democrats go for this? And 81 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: make them explain why they can't think of something else, 82 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: anything else? 83 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: Now, this has been the argument for Republicans. Why can't 84 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: you think of anything else. 85 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: It's been fifteen years of freaking Obamacare and Republicans have 86 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: had zero thoughts on what else to do. 87 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: They just let it go. It was all just talk 88 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: and nothing of substance. 89 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: So now there is this idea here regarding how you 90 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: change the money flows. It's a one hundred page package 91 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: focusing on enhancing access to employer sponsored health insurance plans. 92 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: They want to put. 93 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: The screws who are known as pharmacy benefit managers PBMs. 94 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: Now I'm not an expert on this. 95 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: One, but this has been a lot of conversation whether 96 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: or not the pharmacy benefit manager is is driving costs up, 97 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: or whether or not this is just a function of 98 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: the market, whether or not this type of management is 99 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: really getting people drugs at the right price, are really 100 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: interfering with what costs can be. So Republicans want to 101 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: expand access that would allow small businesses and self employed 102 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: individuals to band together and purchase health coverage. 103 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: I'm a huge believer in this. 104 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: There was a whole conversation years ago about selling across 105 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: state lines market based solutions. I'm absolutely in favor of that. 106 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: Right. 107 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: The argument is that if small people can band together 108 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: and create larger pools. Larger pools create decreased risk or 109 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: creates lower costs, better value, makes perfect sense. What the 110 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: critic will tell you is that it's not as good 111 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: a coverage. And then what's required under the Affordable Care Act. 112 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: To me, that's not even an argument. What do I 113 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 2: care what's required under the ACA? I care that people 114 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: who want the insurance and here's what's offering and here's 115 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: the price, can make a decision of what they get. 116 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: I do not favor government force and government run healthcare. 117 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: They can't do it. Haven't we proven they can't do it. 118 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: They told us if you like your doctor, keep your doctor. 119 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. 120 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: They lied, They lied. 121 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: So the Republican proposal requires more data from pharmacy benefit 122 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: managers to help control drug costs. The critics say that 123 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: those managers pad the bottom lines and make it more 124 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: difficult for independent pharmacists to survive. Now, whether we're talking 125 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: about independent pharmacists or we're talking about arge scale companies 126 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: like CBS, the real question is does the PBM get 127 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: in the way cost wise opportunity? And also, remember we 128 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: have to say to ourselves we're discussing insurance and not care. 129 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: These are two very very different things. Right now, we're 130 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: talking about the cost of the insurance, the cost of 131 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: being able to see the doctor. Now what the care is, 132 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: and the actual doctor itself, well, that person has to 133 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: get paid. As far as I'm concerned, the way the 134 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: left sees it, the doctor should be a slave. If 135 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: you believe in universal health care, you believe in slavery 136 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: for doctors and nurses. If you believe that healthcare is 137 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 2: a right, then the person who wants the healthcare is 138 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 2: allowed to access at any time, which means somebody has 139 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: to provide them the care because they can't provide their 140 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: own care, which means the doctor is now a slave 141 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: to the state. 142 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: The nurse is now a slave to the state. I 143 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: absolutely oppose this as a matter of fact. 144 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: How can anybody possibly be in favor of it if 145 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: you've never thought about it that way before. 146 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: Let's go over it again real quickly. 147 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: If health care is a right, as people like Bernie 148 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: Sanders so foolishly and ignorantly say it, then again, Bernie 149 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: Sanders is a guy who looks at sixteen Jews killed 150 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: in a Hanka celebration in Australia and says. 151 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: We have to be aware of Islamophobia. 152 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: No, no, we have to stop Islamis from coming into 153 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: our country or any country. But Bernie Sanders is a 154 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: special kind of COMMI stupid. If you believe that healthcare 155 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: is a right, a right can be exercised at any 156 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: moment the right chooses to be exercised. If the freeze 157 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: and freedom of speech is the right to free speech, 158 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: I'm allowed to get on the radio and say what 159 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: it is that I will, and even I have certain 160 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: rules of regulations today need to follow, but that's the right. 161 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: If I have the right to keeping bare arms, I 162 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 2: can have my firearm on my hip. But if healthcare 163 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: is the right, that means any time I choose to 164 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: see the doctor. 165 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: I woke up today with the cold. All the throat's 166 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: bothering me. 167 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 2: This kid is either gonna go away in the next 168 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: hour or I'm gonna be down for the count for 169 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: like four days. 170 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: Like it's one of those like you just know where 171 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: it's at. 172 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: You feel it in the head, you feel it in 173 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: the throat, you just know you're just a touch uncomfortable, 174 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: and it's at that moment this thing's gonna just dissipate, 175 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: or this thing is going to turn you into the 176 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: fetal position while you moan for your mother. 177 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: Which is a weird thing to say on radio, and 178 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: I should never have said such a thing. But I 179 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: have a cult if I. 180 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: Now say I have to see a doctor and it's 181 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: a right. The doctor has to see me right now. No, no, no, no, no, 182 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: I don't have to make appointments. No no, no, there's 183 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: no waiting. 184 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: It's my right. 185 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: Healthcare is a right. I get to see the doctor 186 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: right now. The doctor must appear before me. And why 187 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: do I have to go to an office to exercise 188 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: my right? My rights exist where I am. The doctor 189 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 2: has to come to me. The doctor, therefore, is a 190 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 2: slave to the state. And any other conversation other than well, 191 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: of course the doctor or the nurse is. 192 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: A slave is a lie. 193 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: I challenge any progressive anywhere, at any time. If healthcare 194 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: is a right, the doctor or nurse or healthcare. 195 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 3: Practitioner, we can call it, is. 196 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: A slave to the state, moving at the state's whims 197 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: as it is desired and as it is mandated. Now 198 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 2: you heard me say, well wait a second, Tony, you 199 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: said you have the right you'll note that I'm talking 200 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: about the state making the decision. 201 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 3: Because you're never going to get to see the doctor. 202 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: When you want to see the doctor, you're gonna have 203 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: to put your name on a list, because even though 204 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: the doctor and the nurse is indeed a slave to 205 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: the state, the doctor can't see everybody all the time. 206 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 3: So therefore you have have to be on a list. Now. 207 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: If you know somebody important, your name's higher up on 208 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: the list. If you don't know anybody, your name's lower 209 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: down on the list. If you made a donation, you're 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: higher up on the list. If you didn't make a donation, 211 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: you're lower down on the list. 212 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: Best of luck, Best of luck. 213 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: In the Bernie Sanders of Costume Cortes progressive healthscape, that 214 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: is their universal healthcare, Obamacare is nothing more than the 215 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: lead in it's the gateway drug to this and it 216 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: already doesn't work. And these people answer with, well, you see, 217 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: we need to do this even more, we need we 218 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 2: need just full on universal health care. Obamacare was just 219 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: just a half measure. It works in Scandinavian countries, not 220 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: one hundred percent, and those are much much smaller populations. 221 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 2: You gotta be honest about this stuff. They're smaller populations, 222 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: smaller land masses, different concepts and philosophies. 223 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: Me. 224 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: I like the open market, and I like having companies 225 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: that go out there and innovate and create. I like 226 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: being able to shop for a doctor that suits my needs, 227 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: not somebody who is just you know, written it to me? 228 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: And and what was it prescribed to me? What's the 229 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: word I'm looking for, a directed to me? 230 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: Whatever it is that a government does forced upon me, 231 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: even better by some government bureaucrat SCHMO who doesn't care 232 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: about my specific needs. I favor changes, and certainly I 233 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: have no problem with changing how the money flows. Instead 234 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: of going to one place, it goes to the people 235 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: to make decisions that. 236 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: I have no problem with saying. 237 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: That, you know what, this Affordable Care Act doesn't work, 238 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: which is really what needs to be said. It doesn't 239 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: work and it needs to be broken. What Democrats are 240 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: hoping for is that Republicans will be too scared to 241 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: see insurance rates go up, even though they're not going up. 242 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: The subsidy that exists because of COVID is going away, 243 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: but Democrats, being frauds, are saying that the cost is 244 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: going up I would like to see it broken. I 245 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: don't want to see the expansion or the extension of 246 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 2: Obamacare subsidies. Let's try something different and see how it works. 247 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: I believe in markets. I always have because it's the 248 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: only thing that's actually ever worked. Is anything perfect, My gosh, 249 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: nothing is perfect. But I've seen what these fools think 250 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: that they can create out of whole cloth, as if 251 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: somehow they have been touched by the Lord with some 252 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: secret knowledge on how to do these things, and know 253 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: they can't do it. All they can do is create 254 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: a few elites and then everybody else suffers. 255 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 3: Which is what Obamacare did. End of list, Obamacare failed. 256 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: So what we really should be focused on is ripping 257 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: it out by the roots. 258 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: I'm Tony kats in a Namati
