how important is his response? well, i think it s pretty important. it would be ideal if it were better than the response to the immigration decision which was a little bungled. but i think that they re ready. i m sure they ve got several versions ready for what comes here. i think today his response is easier than down the road. down the road you get into, for instance, if they knock certain parts down, does he need to get into super specific stuff about what he would put in place because a lot of people say repeal-replace. i think there is the possibility that the voters get a little ill with, hey, you re only giving us repeal. but people are open to the idea of putting in modest reforms instead of this giant bill that they don t feel is workable. jamie: juan, so much money has been spent already on this initiative, the overhaul of health care. and the voters know that. so as we move closer to november depending on what happens if there still isn t a plan in place and it needs to b
