'MONSTROSITY': Obamacare needs 'FULL OVERHAUL,' GOP lawmaker warns

Published | Video Starts at 04:13

It's unaffordable for Floridians, unaffordable for every American that's in these exchanges. And why is it unaffordable? It's unaffordable because when the Democrats created this monstrosity, they turned healthcare over to the health insurance companies. The subsidies go directly to the health insurance companies. And then they created all of these mandates and this regulatory leviathan that only increases the cost of healthcare and health insurance. So my position is let's revamp the entire regulatory framework of the Affordable Care Act. (04:13–04:16)
