You need a short term extension with reforms and you need to address the larger issues in healthcare, which we started to do yesterday and every single Democrat voted against it. We passed a bill that would address, for instance, associated health plans, which would allow the self-employed, small businesses, larger companies to pool together to purchase a cheaper insurance plan. The CBO scored it and they said it would reduce health insurance premiums by 11% nationwide. That is a positive step forward. And yet every Democrat voted against that yesterday. (06:43–06:57)
