In fact, we had to pass Obamacare or else the deficit was gonna spiral out of control. We had to pass it. Well, we have. Obamacare is the unconstitutional law of the land now, and yet here come these leftists claiming that we gotta do something about health care costs or they\u2019re gonna wreck the country. Are they not admitting here that Obamacare does not and did not solve this? Sounds like it to me. It\u2019s more evidence here that nothing\u2019s been done vis-a-vis Obamacare to reduce health care costs.
