in the crossfire tonight representatives matt cartwright and john fleming. president obama just wrapped up a meeting with heads of insurance companies, and you know what? i sort of feel bad for them. the president changed all the rules of the game, then changed them again yesterday. so why is he meeting with them now? apparently it wasn't to apologize again. >> we're going to brainstorm on how do we make sure that everybody understands their options? we're going to be soliciting ideas from them. this is a collaborative process and we want to make sure to get this done. >> brainstorming now? soliciting ideas now? clabting now? why didn't he do this ages ago before he changed and rechanged the rules? congressman cartwright, explain this. >> i think that's an overstatement to say he was not involving the insurance companies. insurance companies are an integral part of the if affordable care act, as my colleague has just said, a lot of people want to say it's socialized medicine. it's not true at all. the market forces are at play here. we have private for-profi
