is a very defined amount of individuals that we are trying to address and not affect the entire system. obamacare turned our health care system on its head to address the pool of individuals who don t fall into the buckets that i mentioned. our plan that we are talking about today with the house will ensure that those individuals receive the care they need if they want with affordable costs without sending rates skyrocketing. obamacare was a bill that served special interests and not the american people. these pages that were passed are filled with carveouts with over $1 billion on lobbying spent on the year obamacare was created. our bill, much smaller, only 123 pages, so far we are at 57 for the repeal plan, and 66 pages for the replacement portion. will undo this. half of it, 57 of those pages are the repeal part.
