Lines and we'll have further comment tomorrow and talk with our colleagues about why we believe the plan, the entire plan that we have recommended moving forward and adopting is one that will provide greater opportunity for folks to purchase the coverage that they want and put patients and families and doctors in charge of health care and not the federal government. . >> stay warm. >> tom price, the secretary of health and human services. mick mulvaney, director of the office of management and budget. totally rejecting the congressional budget office report which says, under the republican leg...

Numbers and you know what you're talking about. as i said to you the other day, the speaker was the one who signed the letter insisting that we have a cbo report before we proceeded with the affordable care act, which we >> when it was important then, now the republicans are saying it's not so important now and who is that anyway? who is this congressional budget office anyway? it's somebody appointed by the republicans to do the numbers. and to come as close as possible to what the impact will be on the american people, on their health, and on our budget. the whole purpose of all of this affo...
