| Thanks for watching! | |
| 30 million more people and has a promise of lowering premiums. | |
| Pretty good statement. | |
| We're not finished getting all of our reports back from CBO, but we'll have a side-by-side to compare. | |
| But our bill brings down rates. | |
| I don't know if you have seen Jonathan Gruber of MIT's analysis of what the comparison is to the status quo. | |
| Did you mislead Americans about the taxes, about keeping your plan, in order to get the bill passed? | |
| He didn't help write our bill. | |
| I don't know if you have seen Jonathan Gruber of MIT's analysis. | |
| I don't know who he is. | |
| He didn't help write our bill. | |
| And so, with all due respect to your question, you have a person who wasn't writing our bill | |
| commenting on what was going on when we were writing the bill. | |
| Did you mislead Americans about the taxes, about keeping your plan, in order to get the | |
| bill passed? | |
| No, I did not. | |
| I just heard about this. | |
| I get well briefed before I come out here. | |
| The fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff... A lot in that room was thinking about, well, how could... talk about, well, how could we make this work? | |
| And Obama's like, well, you know... I mean, he's really a realistic guy. | |
| He's like, look, I can't just do this. | |
| He said... Some advisor who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that Uh, I completely disagree with. | |
| Next time I see him is, um, summer 2009. | |
| Uh, the, um, the big issue there is, uh, that he really wants to make sure moving forward on cost control. | |
| I think it'll, it's fair to say that there was not a, a provision in the healthcare law that was not extensively debated, uh, and was fully transparent. | |
| Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. | |
| And basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever. | |
| But basically, that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass. | |
| And to me, the most important piece, and in some sense the piece I guess I'm most disappointed that Doug and I disagree on, is the Cadillac tax. | |
| Okay, economists have called for 40 years to get rid of the regressive, inefficient, and expensive tax subsidy to the employer provided health insurance. | |
| No economist would ever set up a health system with a tax subsidy employer provided health insurance. | |
| It's a terrible policy. | |
| Turns out politically, it's really hard to get rid of. | |
| And the only way we could take it on was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people. | |
| And we all know it's really a tax on people who hold those insurance plans. | |
| And the second was to start it late. | |
| Started in 2018. | |
| This is one guy. | |
| I don't know who this guy was. | |
| All I know is that it's important for people to have health insurance. | |
| And if you guys are saying people shouldn't have health insurance, I don't know where you're coming from. | |
| Are you that cruel? | |
| The fact is I think it's actually Republicans who haven't been particularly transparent or even honest about the true impact of those. | |
| Well, it is Republicans who have been less than forthright and transparent. | |
| It's not true. | |
| And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up. | |
| Under our plan, No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions. | |
| And federal conscience laws will remain in place. | |
| Now... What's wrong, McRubber? | |
| You can diffuse it, right? | |
| Are you kidding me? | |
| Look at all this crap. | |
| There's like a million wires in here. | |
| More like a three-wire guy. | |
| MacGruber. | |
| Symbols are powerful and the globalists have hijacked the symbols of America. | |
| They've turned them into their own symbols. | |
| Well, we are restoring the idea of the true republic, not the counterfeit globalist empire, by promoting the icon George Washington and others. | |
| That's why we're rolling out on a 100% Made in America line of incredible pro-liberty apparel. | |
| We are re-popularizing liberty. | |
| We are helping fellow Americans rediscover what made this country great. | |
| We are the spirit of 1776. | |
| We are 1776 worldwide. | |
| We are all brothers and sisters in arms in the animating contest of liberty. |
