I'm the guy that's been trying to protect the forgotten men and women of Obamacare. The folks that Bill Clinton talked about. They're busting, you know what, they're busting it out there working 60 hours a week. Their premiums have doubled, in many cases tripled and more coverage cut in half. They don't get subsidies. They can't afford care because of the market distortions of Obamacare. States will understand that. They'll show far more compassion to those forgotten men and women. (05:59–06:04)

CLAIM
