This is a good example for the Affordable Care Act, as the president calls it, the Unaffordable Care Act, is a problem because they just take the money, their valuations go up.

The money actually, eventually, some of it gets down to the people, but premiums still keep rising.

So the president said, from now on, we want the money going to the people.

We want to make sure that as much as possible, we drive down prices in the insurance space fairly.

And there's a way of doing that called cost sharing reduction.

It was actually in the one big, beautiful bill.

The president put it in there and yet Democrats stripped it out.

It's a smart way to run insurance.

It actually drops the prices for everybody by more than 10%.

So we want to try to get those

elements of the program back into this legislation.

But we also want insurance companies to tell us how much are you taking home of the premiums and how much are you paying out for the benefits of the average American people?

What value are you providing?

How many months do people have to wait to get a simple doctor's appointment?

Tell us exactly what's going on behind the scenes so you're accountable and so people can pick the best companies out there.

Because if we're giving

the average American money in their HSC account or in their pocket to buy insurance, they need to be educated about which ones to pick.

And finally, Ben, and you're a big proponent about this, just be transparent.

I mean, shed light.

What's the first thing we do when you, as a surgeon, when you're called into another operation for a colleague, first thing you do is open the wound up and put better light in there so you can see what's going on.
