everybody does. obamacare is date but healthcare will soon be great. this has just gone out. we ve been keeping up with him, as we all do. especially on a friday afternoon after his deputy press secretary has spoken to the media. we get new information. i want the get your response to that before i let you go. yeah, well, what this is about is that yesterday in his meeting with the australian prime minister, the president said well, i have to admit you have better health insurance now than we do. he went on to say but ours will get better after this repeal and replace. the key there, this is what people like bernie sanders noted, the australian plan is single payer like in britain and canada. while the president and his people are saying, he was being polite to the prime minister, they re saying, well, yeah, single player government-run healthcare is better than any system than we ll have under obamacare repeal and replace.
