What I do, what I support is a meaningful extension of the Affordable Care Act. I'm happy to entertain any reasonable proposal that is put forward. There has not been one. And the reason is we know Republicans have now for more than 70 different times over the last 15 years tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And so they're not interested in meaningfully addressing this health care crisis. They're not interested in extending the Affordable Care act tax credits. (03:49–03:58)
