That's exactly what happened. I wasn't here that, you know, Obamacare was created in 2010. I got here, I began in January 2017. I remember that was the year that Republicans banded together try to repeal and replace this monstrosity. We lost it by one vote. Thumbs down by John McCain. Right. And that, and we still have PTSD about that experience. The problem is right now it's so sinister that the roots of Obamacare are so deep in the system, you can no longer uproot it and just completely cut it off. (05:58–06:05)
