It's not going to work as it was advertised. I mean, President Obama claimed, if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. Well, that's not true. He said that when you pass Obamacare, the cost of a family premium would actually decline by $2,500 during his first term. It's actually up about $2,500 to $3,000. So there are an awful lot of broken promises, a lot of promises made in Obamacare and they're just not being borne out. John, we are a compassionate society. (10:34–10:46)

CLAIM
