right now. the health care bill to repeal and replace obamacare, you dispute the congressional budget office numbers about how many people would lose insurance. what's your own estimate of how many americans -- >> i don't dispute it. i think what was important was cbo put a qualifier on why and how they arrive at that estimate. and that's what i point to. i think it's pretty informative. what cbo is basically saying is if the government stops forcing people to buy something they don't want to buy, they're not going to buy it. if the government does not expand medicaid in the future, that means future people won't -- less people will go on medicaid. that's what they're saying effectively. so, they're not saying that we're going to be taking away something from somebody next year or two years from now. it's that people given the freedom of choice will choose not to take this benefit, not to take this obamacare. that's the point i'm trying to say, which is let's look at what cbo said and the reasons for their insurance coverage estimates. i would note these coverage estimates are hard to nail down.
