so that people can actually get better faster and live the lives they want and deserve. so all of this conversation around we got multiple plans, well, if you ve got multiple plans, that means you don t have a plan at all. and so you can t repeal the aca and leave this gaping hole in a health care system that has been reformed it s almost like the conversation about whether you should eat broccoli and spinach. everybody knows broccoli and spinach is good for you. and what the republicans are trying to get us to do is understand that we don t need broccoli and spinach, they want to give us a happy meal box but they re not going to tell us what s in the happy meal box. what i m clear about, broccoli and spinach is good for you whether you like it or not and happy meals are not good for you at all. so we have to get beyond this conversation and rhetoric and get deep interwhat the law is doing to save people s lives. here s the thing. happy meals are well advertised as well. anton, very
homeowners deadbeats if they couldn t pay their mortgages but suddenly became this really well-funded faux grass-roots kind of thing which just went after health care every minute, every minute. it had all the optics you needed. do you see evidence that democrats can figure out how to message discipline, get adds on the air and actually do the mechanics of politicking? i don t think we can replicate the republican strategy because we are bound by principle and an ideology that government is supposed to do good for the people that it s elected to represent. i don t think that we can have a democratic tea party. that said. i think we can do a much better job of sloganeering and running ads and telling real people stories. it s not about everybody wearing shirts saying make america sick again. it s making sure america knows the real-life consequences to their families and neighbors of what republicans are trying to do. that s the democratic mandate. i believe we have anton gunn, a h
they could not get treatment they needed but now they re getting care and better and so i ve talked to these ceos and health systems. i ve talked to the leaders that run hospitals, i work with them and they believe the affordable care act means a whole lot to them and it s allowing them the opportunity to do what they do best, that s save lives. i m not talking one or two, i m talking tens of millions in cities across the country. we do know for certain the uninsured rate in 2009 was 16.4%, now it s 10%. one more word anton and jess, yes or no, do republicans fully repeal and not replace the affordable care act or do they repeal and replace it? yes or no do they repeal it, anton? they re going to repeal it. i believe they ll do that. yes. jess? no. all right, bold prediction from jess mcintosh. anton gunn, jess mcintosh, thanks to both of you. still ahead, obamacare is just one of the battles democrats are preparing for in the trump era.
it s not about everybody wearing shirts saying make america sick again. it saking sure america knows the real-life consequences to their families and neighbors of what republicans are trying to do. that s the democrati mandate. i believe we have anton gunn, a health care strategist who used to be with the department of health and human services. anton, let s talk about the practical things, what democrats would be showing the country is happening as ook is rolled back. can you talk about how an you possibly unwind this law without and leave in place, let s say, leaving somebody who s 26 on your insurance? can you do both those things? you can t do both things. see, the biggest problem is most people have no full understanding of all the incredible things the affordable care act has done over the last six years because they re not having the conversation with the right people. if you talk to any ceo that runs a large hospital in any major metropolitan area, whether you re talki
back in the game. i don t know but don t wish that on me. but i would say this. they re both known commodities. you don t get anybody perfect in the diverse political atmosphere at this point. bush is from a key swing state and outreach to voters of the hispanic community. a great race to watch. we know that his mother doesn t want him to run. she ll vote for him. put that on the record. former hhs official, anton gunn, beth fuey and tom davis not running for president, thanks to all of you. coming up, could the tensions between united states and russia play out 6 in outer space in if they do, what would that mean for nasa? first, though, defense and offense in one letter. dan snyder s outreach and new strategy for washington s nfl team. alright, that should just about do it.
