“As I've indicated, we're focused right now on pressing the case and addressing the Republican health care crisis. We'll be before the Rules Committee in moments. We'll have a family conversation. As House Democrats, We're strongly opposed as House Democrats to this reckless Republican effort to continue to raise the high cost of living on everyday Americans, which is exactly what they're doing by failing to extend the Affordable Care act.

I will have that conversation during our caucus meeting at noon.” (19:11–19:25)
