You have $14 trillion debt. We have the debt ceiling. Vote Obamacare. If elected, what will be the very first bill that you will introduce once you get to Washington? The first bill that I hope to introduce is a bill to repeal every syllable of every word of Obamacare. I think there are a great many policies President Obama has been advancing that are deeply harmful to the country, but I think none has been as pernicious as Obamacare. (00:41–00:49)
