the big question with republicans, i remember covering the first affordable care act. right. and a huge problem for democrats was the sort of status quo bias. folks are scared about something new and uncertain when it comes to health care. you guys are on the opposite side of that status quo bias. can you look constituents in the eye and across the bell curve of the different kinds of ways people might be affected by the system, look them in the eye and say you re going to be better off, you re going to have coverage if you have it now? i hate the issue of political guarantees because they are ripped apart so quickly. the answer to that is no right? the answer is we don t know with precision what we believe is mathematical. in south carolina, our premiums increased from 29%. we ve gone from three providers down to one. so it s something you can either sit on the sidelines and say let it fail of its owe volition, leave it alone which politically would be the easier

from the cassidy/collins plan, enough disarray behind closed doors. so i have a bit of deja vu to covering the 2009/2010 obamacare effort. the difference here is democrats had a clear goal in mind. they wanted to cover more people health surance. it not clear what republicans are groping towards aside from getting rid of the affordable care act. that is the great point. what is the plan? jennifer s point about promising the moon. sean spicer said we have a mandate to provide care to more people at lower deductibles. i thought if that s the mandate, that s a tough mandate to live up to. then you have sara to the point about deja vu, status quo bias is intense in health care. change is scary. which ever direction. this is tom macarthur in that audio, jennifer, saying we re telling those people we re not going to pull the rug out from under them and if we do this too fast we are in fact going to
