This is one way we can do it. And that's why both Democrats and there are some Republicans who want to extend this health care subsidy. And they should, because If we don't [extend health care subsidies], there's probably about 22 million Americans across the country that are not only going to see their health care costs go up, some of them are going to lose access to health care because they can't afford it.
