element -- hold on one minute.
the president just made a
statement moments ago.
let's listen.
>> what it is going to do, is it
is going to be time to negotiate
health care that will be good
for everybody.
that money is a subsidy for
insurance companies.
take a look at their stocks.
look where they are.
they are going through the roof.
from past, i don't know about
today, but the insurance
companies have made a fortune.
that money was a subsidy and
almost you could say a payoff to
insurance companies.
what we have to do is come up
with great health care.
that's what i did partially
yesterday.
that's going to cover a big
segment.
but now for the rest, we have to
come up with whether it is block
grants or something else, and we
just about have the votes.
now if the democrats were smart,
what they do, is come and
negotiate something where people
could get the kind of health
care that they deserve being
citizens of our great country.
