WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh August 1st, 2017

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>When John McCann dramatically killed the Obamacare repeal it, drive

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>by media was ecstatic. The old maverick it returned with

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a heroic trifecta. He slapped Republican Party members in the

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>face again, and more importantly, he gave a huge middle

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.959
<v Speaker 1>finger to President Trump, and most important of all, he

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>saved Obamacare in the Obamacare legacy. Well, maybe drive by

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>media knows Obamacare is imploding, so they ran stories all

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>weekend long about what has to happen to fix it.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Two issues need immediate fixes. First, the cost for millions

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of users Obamacare is already unaffordable, and within weeks prices

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to go up again as insurance companies tally

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>up yet another year of disastrous losses. There's only one fix.

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Obamacare users will need more taxpayer money, more and higher subsidies.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>The second problem has to be addressed. Despite all the

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>hype about how popular Obamacare has become in many areas,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it isn't even available. Insurance companies have pulled out. US

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>just can't afford it. Neither can they. There's only one

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>fix for that, to more taxpayer money to subsidize the

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>insurance company so that they will provide coverage. So, after

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>lacking courage to repeal Obamacare, we're about to find out

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>which Republicans can't wait to play ballw with Democrats to

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>fix it. Hold onto your wallets, folks. As always, the

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>fix is your back pocket.
