Senator Rand Paul

That is a bipartisan thing.

The Republican chairman, Wicker, is going forward with an investigation.

I hope they will demand the actual footage and the audio of what happened during that strike.

These are strikes that are going out without the approval of Congress.

At the very least, after the fact, they ought to show us the actual video

the actual footage and the actual audio, and we should hear under oath from the admiral that gave the order and hear under oath from the Secretary of Defense.

I did.

And I've engaged with the president because I've worked with him before and still want to work with the president.

In the first administration, I engaged with him on something called association health plans.

These are group plans that individuals can buy.

So, for example, the biggest problem we have in health care is that if you're a small business person, say you're an accountant and you have three employees, you want to buy insurance, you go into the individual market and you have no leverage.

And if one of your employees gets cancer or you get cancer, they jack up the risk for your really small risk pool.

Instead, what I'm proposing is you should be allowed to go anywhere you want to buy insurance across state lines, including places like Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon.

And then if you became one of millions of people buying insurance, Amazon or Costco would negotiate directly with the insurance company and say, look, I got...

10 million people want insurance, and I'm negotiating for them, and all of a sudden they become the largest entity in America, and they'll drive the prices down.

The problem with Obamacare, although well-intended to help people, is when you give people money to buy insurance as insurance rates are going up, you say, I'll give you $1,000, then I'll give you $5,000, then I'll give you $10,000.

You just keep chasing the rates higher because you're artificially increasing the demand, and the price just goes higher.

It hasn't worked.

So originally, President Obama said prices will go down $2,500 within, I don't know, a year or two of Obamacare.

And the exact opposite has happened.
