Government. >> now notice that pence used a very key term there, r & r. repeal and replace there is no consensus among republicans about that critical second r. house leaders propose focusing on repeal now and delaying implementation, figuring out the actual replacement, the second r later. now there is no obvious ideological line to all this. this is more a line about responsibility. look at congressman mark meadows, for example, he leads the very conservative house freedom caucus. but he has s...

Plan. how specifically will republicans replace it? >> well, peter, you were right that vice president mike pence spoke to our conference today and i will say this, that in my district, the third district of north carolina, we have many of the constituencies that got as much as 30% increase in their insurance premium. these are hard-working american people who cannot afford a 3 or $400 increase in their health bill and still survive. so obviously -- >> congressman -- >> let me get clarification....
