What is the plan that Republicans are putting forward?

Transition words & phrases

Because you do hear over and over and over again that Obamacare is terrible.

You hear it every single time from Republicans.

Why do subsidies need to exist but I have yet to hear a robust plan from Republicans.

Well, generally they want more free market choices.

They want people to feel like that their insurance actually is usable right now.

I know tons of people who have insurance that would tell you.

It doesn't even feel like I have insurance at all.

Look, I have a small business back in Kentucky.

Every year I get a letter from the people that we get our insurance from.

Your premiums that you pay for, your employees are going up, you know, 10, 15, 20%.

I can tell you this, the insurance benefits never get better.

And the employees that I have would tell you it doesn't ever feel like they're, you know, any better off because of it.

But the health outcomes and the insurance benefits they get are at a, aren't any better.

And so it, it just feels broken and it feels like you don't really have any choices to me, but

you don't have choices because Republicans have not shown a robust plan.

I hear the diagnosis of the problems, but

where is the legislation, the full legislation that you can say, hey, we're going to replace this.

I'm not sure Republicans are going to be for a government run, run or government mandated system.

What they're going to be for is free market choices, giving people more choices that would probably drive down costs and put them in more direct touch with their own health care.

Right now they're in touch with insurance companies which don't do anything.

There's a lot of things in the ACA that Americans like, whether they are Republicans or Democrats or anything in between.

The idea that you can't get kicked out of health care because of a preexisting condition, the idea that there's no caps, you know, all of these things are things that we've all benefited from, particularly the neediest amongst us.

Look, I think this issue is not going to go away and we're going to be talking about this because we're going to hear horrible stories.

People are not going to be able to afford their insurance I don't think even with subsidies, they're going to be able to afford the premiums that are hiking up 100, 200, 300%.

Wasn't Obama supposed to fix that, people?

Republicans have been chipping away at the aca.

And I think, I think this is going to be the death of the aca, but

it's also going to be the death of some Americans who don't go get screenings, who don't get diagnosed early enough in order to get treatment, who go in and instead of being stage one cancer, are going to be stage four cancer.

And we're going to hear horrible stories because Americans are going to choose to drop health insurance that they cannot afford.

And we as a country have got to figure this issue out.

You asked Scott about, just real quick, you asked him about what the Republican plan is, and

And the thing about Donald Trump is he's just not patient anymore.

He's been in government a very long period of time.

And then to your point about the SNAPS benefit, about Democrats being the party of humility, a government shut down is an ugly business.

Donald Trump was the one that refused that the rainy day fund that SNAP had.

Democrats refused to open the government.

It was a rainy day fund in place for that very reason of a possible government shutdown.

There's issues with it, but if you break it, you bought it.

We can fix it within the system or we can do something else.

But there's a lot of private health care insurance out there.

And if you think of getting rid of an affordable lawsuit, well, you've been in Congress and you have seen vote after vote after vote to repeal Obamacare.

And the question is to replace it with what?

We still hear when two courts said to Trump, feed these children, he has appealed that.

Why don't we have two judges say to Democrats, you must vote to open the government because kids are hungry.

Do two unelected judges have that authority?

You can ask, answer the question with your question at all you want to.

But the fact of the matter is, an unelected judge probably does not have the authority to tell the executive branch.

Judge, do you believe, as a member of Congress, a judge can compel the executive to spend money that you haven't appropriated?

I mean, that is literally a king spending money that is not appropriate.

You're turning the president into one if he can spend without appropriation.

Well, now, if you got a rainy day fund, it was appropriated at one time, correct?

They didn't appropriate it yesterday or the day before, but the money was appropriated last year sometime, and

the rainy day fund was there for this purpose.

Who appropriated the $40 billion for Argentina?
