do i think that healthcare should be a right? that is how i tend to think, but that is something that i don't think would actually en in the current political climate, right? what we're left with is solutions that really if we want to talk about reducing cost of medications for society, involve more intervention from the federal gogornment. those are the solutions t t providing reasonable access to healthcare that ... other industrialized nations have come up with but we in the us have been very resistant to this. one thing that is kind of a low-hanging fruit is for the same kinds of rebates that are negotiated for in the medicaid program. the mecaid program drug costs, because they have federally-mandated set up, was companies. craig vansandt: right. ben urick: yeah. some tauzin who ended up being the president of pharma afterwards, watching this presentation. that can save substantial amount of when it comes to pharmaceutic als and would d likely lower to an extent the amount of money that we in the us pay for drugs. at the ver

i have heard from the gop that they intend on rolling back obamacare, or affordable healthcare, but i can they do that when they look at the numbers, and when they look at the fact that all of america needs healthcare. we are one of the few countries that are lagging behind on that issue. i believe that hopefully the contest that is going on between the democratic candidates, i believe that they will put the gop to the test when it comes to the issue of healthcare. i know that senator clinton has been there for that issue, and she will continue to be there. i hope that the education also continues to be an issue, and that we make sure we have access to education for all persons in the u. s. in the u. s.>> the and education, 58% of the south carolina residents supported citizenship for the undocumented residents. 80% of the residents of south carolina support the mandatory background checks. back after all of this moves on, you will still be making this the conversation at the top of the mind. >> absolutely. >>> thank you so much. when we come back, we will switch gears from politics t

women paid more than men for healthcare. parents could not keep their children on their health insurance up until the age of 26. all of these things are good things for the affordable care act. unfortunately the north carolina legislature has not expanded medicaid. that has made it not work as well as it could in north carolina. rural hospitals and we have lost an opportunity to create jobs. i would work to make more incentives for opting into medicaid because i think it is better for all of our people. repeal the medical device tax and not penalize insurers to provide as excellent health care to their workers. >> mr. griffin. >> universal healthcare is an absolute necessity for us in this day and age. we have to take care of our population and in order to do that we need to take care of three areas. the first is the expansion of the program to cover the gap. the fact that north carolina has yet to do that is unconscionable. the federal government would pick up 97% of the expenses along these lines. for the affordable care a
