Sen. Ron Johnson: We have a health care financing problem

Published | Video Starts at 01:30

So from my standpoint, you know, the fact that you had Doug McMillan on right beforehand is a perfect segue into what I'm trying to do here. We have a health care financing problem. We have a health care financing problem, largely because we've removed all the benefits of a free market competitive system. We've removed consumerism. You know, I like Mr. McMillan. I've competed in the private sector for 30 years because I had to compete. (01:30–01:39)

CLAIM
