We laid out to the President some of the consequences of what's happening in healthcare. And by his face and by the way he looked, I think he heard about them for the first time. The closing of Rural Hospital, the fact that so many clinics are closing, and I don't know if he knew this before, but the fact that people will pay $4,000 more a year, $400 more a month, close to $5,000 more a year on their healthcare premiums if we don't do anything. and people don't know what to do. The average working family can't afford that. I told him how I met a mother who was crying to me because her daughter had cancer and what has happened with with what they have done. (26:40–27:01)
