First of all, i have no idea. We have failed to pass meaningful comprehensive healthcare legislation for over a century. The fact is we passed something in 2010, some i look back with and i look back with great satisfaction. Was its perfect bill . Absolutely not. I think most people fail to understand how much commonality there is. There is very little difference between republicans and democrats about the fact that we still have a cost problem. We intend more on heck neck the United States than india has nit entire gdp or brazil or russia. 9,200 per year this year. Costs have come down dramatically as a result in part of the passage of the Affordable Care act. Id emphasize only in part but nonetheless they have come down. We still have an access problem. 30 Million People uninsured. Serious quality problems. At the dont rise to the top ten in the top 20 different criteria for performance in health today. So, on those three challenges, we find very little disagreement. The causes are a

Parents can afford to live in. [applause] our state has some great Public Schools among the best in america but unfortunately because of yesterdays policies many families are shut out they sit and wait as theyre sons and daughters get another year older and their dreams of providing them with the best Public Education possible slips farther and farther away. This has this has gone on too long. I will not accept this inequality. [applause] how many arizona children should have access to our best Public Schools . My answer is, all of them. [applause] here is what makes the situation even more troubling. Right now theyre are nearly 400,000 empty seats in our Public School system. In fact some are completely vacant.

A small group of rightwingers led by ted cruz has basically taken over our national attention, ground the government to a halt and taken us to the edge
