We have all the heated rhetoric, simply not true. Listen, since the health care pass, three and a half years have gone by and this thing still isn't ready for prime time. And President Obama is doing things, he's acknowledging the fact that this isn't ready by delaying the employer mandate, delaying the income verification part of this. Listen, doctor, I realize you're a smart guy. I don't think you know how to take over 16 of our economy and do it well. (02:34–02:44)
