defend the obama position these are legal payments and we had to stop them. >> does the president want to see obamacare fail? >> i think the president, along with most of us, know that obamacare is failing on its own and didn't need any help to do so. we've made this decision because it was bad policy. >> this will speed it up? >> it was going fast enough as it is. if you're willing to admit to me here tonight that obamacare is going to fail and we need to repeal and replace it, i'll agree with your problemis the congressional budget office said says it's relatively stable right now. let me read to you what the president tweeted this morning. the democrats' obamacare is imploding. massive payments to their pet insurance companies has stopped. dems should call me to fix. all right, if they call the president to fix, is he willing to sit down with nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, the democratic leadership, the republican leadership and come up with a plan to fix the problems of the affordable care act but stop short of repealing it? >> i think that word depends on who you're talking to.
