It's too for-profit oriented.

But we're not going to do that in a week or two, right?

Right now, we need to extend these tax credits so that millions of people don't see their premium skyrocket and millions don't lose their health insurance.

We've only got about a minute left here.

A terminal user just wrote us while we're talking.

Ask the congressman why the ACA failed that they designed.

Maybe I can reframe that a bit.

A lot of Republicans come on the air and they say this thing was never affordable.

Obamacare itself has raised premiums.

Is this plan broken?

No, look, I think it's not perfect.

Yeah.

But it is better than the alternative, which is no ACA, right?

I mean, the bottom line is millions and millions of people have now have coverage because of the Affordable Care Act.

You know, if we extended the tax credits, it's affordable.

But as I said, we need to have a bigger conversation.

Look, if it was up to me, we would have a Medicare for All system.

When I was the chairman of the Rules Committee, we were the first committee, neither the House or Senate, to do a hearing on Medicare for All.

And I'll tell you, it was a very, very powerful hearing.

But, you know, to fix health care holistically, you know, it's going to take some time.
