Didn't solve the affordability crisis in the healthcare industry?

Well, I'll tell you, we told you one of the golden rules, right?

If you want to make the cost of something skyrocket, if you want to make the cost of something skyrocket, have government subsidize it.

So look, the Republicans are trying to offer kind of an alternative to this now, where

Instead of the money going directly to the insurance companies, the money goes to the people.

Now, if it was up to me and I could wave a magic wand, which I wish I had, I don't have a magic wand, but if I could wave a magic wand, I would take government out of healthcare.

I don't believe government belongs in healthcare.

Why don't we treat healthcare like we're treating education?

Leave it up to the states.

It's not listed in the Constitution as one of the enumerated powers.

That is something that the states should be handling at the state level.

Get the federal government out of health care.

But seeing as how that's not the case right now, the Affordable Care Act is in place, why are we sending all of these subsidies directly to the insurance companies?

You know, Senator Marsha Blackburn, who's running for governor here in the state of Tennessee, came out and said there's actually been a ton of fraudulent enrollments

in healthcare plans on the healthcare.gov marketplace where there are people who are enrolled in plans, let's say with UnitedHealthcare, okay, that they either A, don't know that they're enrolled or B, aren't actually enrolled at all.

Those insurance companies are just getting money, free money for these people who aren't even technically, they may not exist.

They may not want to be enrolled.

They may not know that they're enrolled, but these insurance companies are getting free money.

why not give the money directly to the people get rid of the healthcare.gov marketplace and let the people choose which company they want to buy health insurance from you know what happens if you do that take a look at your cell phone right how many times you see these commercials if you switch to so and so we'll give you this that and the other we'll give you an introductory deal or cable internet whatever it is i used to sell direct tv you know we would have a promotional rate for two years

And we would add some premium channels and the NFL Sunday ticket and all of these things.
