Chris, its not -- there was a lot of exaggeration about the death spiral of obamacare. it has some serious problems that both democrats and republicans agree on, but its not just going to collapse the way trump says unless the federal government takes some affirmative actions to do that. i think thats one major question, does anything from the white house push that process along. secondly, they have a real process issue in congress as phil and ron were noting. they have to do a new budget. when ...
