the republicans, paul ryan, have had over five years to figure out the answer to scott pelley s question, which is basically, what do you replace it with, and the ryan rule now is, not one person can be worse off after the republicans have done their replace. that s right. and it s not only the 20 million people who got care. it s the people who didn t suffer from the old preexisting condition rules. it s a pretty broad swath. and as you point out, from the day the law was passed in march of 2010, they have said we have to repeal it. and the democrats have said well, what s your plan? in fact, their plan was obamacare. it s worth mentioning again and again that obamacare was the
now if you hate the mandate, then you can t get rid of the preexisting condition bar. so that falls apart. and with all that come the subsidies. the people, if they have to abide by the mandate have the money to buy health insurance. this whole thing really falls apart. now what s also amusing about this is nobody s talking about the central problem that obamacare did not solve, which is the cost of health care. i notice that the speaker said and the president-elect has said, we re going to have a better program at lower cost. there isn t a single proposal, even in the drafts that the republicans have done, which they admit, obviously, now aren t realistic that lowers the kohl s of prescription drugs, that lowers the cost of going to your favorite, newspaper-profit hospital whose, which has, you know, profit margins that are much higher than the average insurance company.
but the word is out. the word is out that harry reid is a liar, and the word should be out that any senate democrat that follows his lead will have the word former in front of their name. they continue to double down on the strategy saying that the problems are not as they re being represented. but voters will embrace them in the mid-term, as the dust settles people will see there are positive stories, as well. and certainly there are positive stories, people who didn t have coverage are getting it. those people do exist, as well. but they said before obamacare came into effect they said this is all just republican right wing propaganda. as soon as people see it in action they will love it. we re four months into it, and it is dropping in popularity. if you have had personal contact and tried to navigate the website, if you re that colorado
obamacare. six million people got cancellation letters and even if they struggled to get coverage at the end, they re liars? they re living the obamacare horror stories, if you lost your doctor or insurance you re living an obamacare horror story, if your premiums went up when they told you they were going to go down. you re living the obamacare horror story, the problem is that millions of americans are having personal contact with obamacare and the polls show the more they learn about it the less they like it. what the senate majority leader, harry reid said these were all lies, they don t pan out. these are real people, though, how in the world do they expect to keep six million people and counting from telling their stories? i mean, that is pretty bold. harry reid was the same guy in 2012 went out on the senate floor and without a shred of evidence said that mitt romney didn t pay his taxes, oh, i don t have any evidence of it
the kelly file. thank you very much. all right, your reaction when you saw the senate majority leader stand on the floor and say that every ad about obamacare is negative, is a lie, including yours. i was actually shocked. it is not fabricated. it is not a lie, our insurance premiums have gone from $348 a month to $1200 a month, which then forced us to go on our kentucky connect website and search for a policy and then we were told that because we qualified for medicare that we had to have medicare. o or medicaid, i m sorry. you because we were put on this medicaid policy i have also lost my doctor that i ve had for the past several years. all right, you and your husband are self-employed. you are happy with your plan, you have five girls, there are a lot of concerns that you have to take care of and look out for. is it true the closest covered hospital would be 75 miles away
