i want you to listen to something marsha blackburn said. she spoke to my colleague chris jansing a few minutes ago. here's what she had to say. >> i want to solve this problem. it is just untenable that so many people have been unemployed for this amount of time, because this economy has created an environment where employers cannot create jobs. the uncertainty, the overregulation, the overtaxation, the way washington picks winners and losers. >> your thoughts on what she had to say? >> well, what i think we ought to be focusing on is a pro growth economy where we continue the strength of our recovery through investing. investing in education, in skills training, in infrastructure. there have been a number of bipartisan bills introduced and discussed and debated here in the senate. just earlier today, i met with a bipartisan group of senators committ committed to moving legislation on manufacturing. infrastructure, education, research and development, where we can and should be investing to grow our economy. the congresswoman points solely

so now tennessee republican congresswoman marsha blackburn has just a two-word statement, and all it eric cantor said this morning he's going to push for new legislation that would require more transparency from the administration. >> the numbers are as bad as they seem with the lack of information, just imagine perhaps how bad it really is. so we need to get to the bottom of this. people's health care is at stake. people's pocketbooks are at stake. >> reporter: and another very important number in the hhs report, 79% -- that's how many people have signed up for a plan who qualify for federal subsidies and, thus, lower premiums. jenna? jenna: peter doocy from a rainy white house today. peter, thank you very much. jon: for more on this, let's bring in a.b. stoddard, associate editor and columnist for "the hill," and tim carney, senior political columnist at "the washington examiner." so the health insurance companies, a.b., are saying that if these numbers persist, their profits are going to be cut in half. i mean, profit doesn't have to be a dirty word in this country. what are they
