In that sense, it's radical. But if you go to walk down the street here and you say, do you think billionaires should be able to spend as much money as they want to buy politicians? I would say nine out of 10 people say that's crazy. That's not what America is supposed to be about. So in that sense, it's certainly not radical. Let's talk about health care.
