No, what I'm saying is that we need an ironclad path forward that decisively addresses the Republican health care crisis in terms of the Affordable Care Act. You know, this is a group of people, Republicans... have tried to repeal the Affordable Care act more than 70 different times since 2010. They can't be trusted on a wing and a prayer. We need a real path forward to address the crisis that Republicans have visited upon the American people in terms of health care, the cost of living and affordability. (00:30–02:55)
