This complete obstructionist approach. eventually theyre going to have to put something on the table. boehner in ohio, uninsured, boehner in ohio with all the unemployment and he wont move in the house on unemployment benefits. theres a complete gap between the normal representative actions and whats going on in their home state. and with health care, they just have never acknowledged its a problem. they have never -- going back to the clinton year, they would never acknowledge there was a probl...

Taxpayers? i call it basic common decency. >> where do you get the money from it? you take it from taxpayers. why do you always leave out -- >> thats what we have taxes for, grover. we have taxes in order to fulfill the essential role of government. >> like sugar subsidies. very important. >> we agree on sugar subsidies. you see the role of government as a little defense i know you want to put in the bathtub and strangle. i see the essential role of government as broader including protecting its...

Protecting its most vulnerable citizens. do you want to get rid of all medicaid? yes or no. >> no. step one. >> do you want to get rid of all of medicaid? >> the next step in terms of reforming medicare is the ryan plan. thats on the table. block granting it to the states. >> ruth, do you think one of the reasons the president is apologizing right now is because he knows that there is worse news to come down the road? when is it that were going to actually see somebody say that six months from n...

Plan thats very similar to the presidents own health care bill. >> obama care takes everyone in the individual market and puts them on regulated government run insurance exchange, one step closer to singer payer, but not there. the ryan plan takes seniors on medicare, a single payer system and puts them on a government run exchange, one big step backward. so you think the rollout of a federal exchange for 7 million people is rough? remember, it is the official position of the republican party to...
