00:04Her life is in danger? Who's that?
00:07Marjorie Trader Green. I don't think her life is in danger. I don't think, frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.

00:24Marjorie Trader Green. I don't think her life is in danger.
00:29I don't think, frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.
00:34Okay, what about...
00:34What about the affordability of health care?
00:36Are you negotiating with lawmakers on health care ahead of a vote next year?
00:41I am negotiating with lawmakers, and I've had personal talks with some Democrats,
00:47I can't tell you who they are, I just don't want to do that, it's not fair to them,
00:51about paying large amounts of dollars back to the people.
00:57You know, this was my idea.
00:58It came up during that.
01:01You know, oftentimes, under times of stress, like the shutdown,
01:06you come up with great ideas that you wouldn't have thought of before.
01:10The insurance companies are making a fortune.
01:13Their stock is up over 1,000% over a short period of time.
01:17They are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars,
01:20and they're not really putting it back, certainly not like they should.
01:23So when I see this, and when I've seen this over the last pretty short period of time,
01:28I said, why do we just pay this money directly to the people of our country and let them buy their own health insurance?
01:38And you know, I made that statement, and I made it a little bit cavalierly, but it sounded good.
01:43And everybody is picked up, including Democrats.
01:47And I am talking to some Democrats right now about doing that.
01:51People love it.
01:52We're going to take the money.
01:53Well, if it gets approved, we're going to take the money.
01:56We're going to pay it back to the people of our country to go out and buy health insurance.
02:02Now, they could put it in a health account.
02:04We could do it a lot of different ways.
02:06But they'd buy their own health insurance.
02:08They could negotiate price.
02:10And it's going to be locked, so they can't go out and buy a Cadillac.
02:14They could go out and buy health insurance.
