immoral, it was him tomorrow when barack obama built part of the wall, wasn t immoral in her mind when president bill clinton did or when they voted for the wall. ed: last question, just over a minute. you have been a leading expert on health care for a long time. he wanted to repeal and replace obamacare, there s been fits and starts on this, got fleeced of individual mandate. democrats had republicans pretty hard on the idea that you are not doing enough to protect people with pre-existing conditions. not doing enough to control costs for the president said he wants to control costs. my last question, where is the republican plan to actually follow up on that and actually, now that you ve taken all the individual mandate, how do you make sure this doesn t spin out of control for families? allow people to buy insurance it is affordable and appropriate for them so they can get the care they need from a doctor they choose at lower costs. you need the lower cost for insurance, doing
