My visit around Virginia in August sort of made me see this health care concern as sort of a spectrum. When you make cuts to Medicaid or to these premiums, five different things happen. People lose health insurance. Those who retain health insurance see their premiums go up often because the folks without insurance go to the emergency room. That's more expensive care. It has to be paid for, and that tends to assist in driving up the premium cost of those who retain insurance. (07:14–07:23)
