The fact that unless we extend the Affordable Care act tax credits, tens of millions of Americans are about to experience dramatically increased premiums, co pays and deductibles by thousands of dollars per year, that's a real thing. The fact that Hospitals, nursing homes and community based health clinics are closing all across the country, including in rural America, that's a real thing. The Republican health care crisis is real. It's upon us. It's devastating the country. And House Democrats, partnering with Senate Democrats, are standing up on principle in defense of the American president. (05:48–05:57)
