To me, that's a huge benefit for our folks on Medicare. I want to extend some of those savings to everyone else. Unfortunately, Ted Cruz opposed [capping the cost of insulin] and didn't allow us to control the cost of insulin. But when I'm in the Senate, we'll get that done. And to me, we have to build on the Affordable Care act, expand coverage and lower costs so that every Texan gets access to quality and affordable health care. (07:26–07:32)
