For a long time, the nation has been locked in a divisive healthcare debate about who pays. When healthcare costs reach 20%, there are no good options, only bad ones. Shifting the burden around between government and corporations and insurers and providers and families is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Our country will sink beneath a sea of desperation and debt.

that vaccines play a critical role in healthcare. All of my kids are vaccinated. I've written many books on vaccines. My first book in 2014, the first line of it is, I am not anti-vaccine.

So he interrupted me at that point.

Let me just reassure you that President Trump has personally spoken to me about locating those 300,000 children who disappeared over the last four years. I don't think anybody has a fully accurate number, but it's hundreds of thousands, I agree.
