gop proposals. some want a complete overall president-elect trump administration saying there are portions that he would keep. how do you tackle this? >> ultimately i think it will be the leadership of president trump in terms of how this ends up looking if he says there are a couple provisions we want to keep. he's the quarterback, so he will take the lead. this at least has to be massively fixed or completely yoefrp hauled. but at the end of day, we'll get it fixed in a way that makes sense for the american people. i don't think anybody is talking about -- nobody has ever talked about throwing tens of millions of people off of insurance that have it now. nobody s. has talked about getting rid of the idea that people can stay on their parents plans until they're 26. so i think those kinds of things will be preserved. but there is no tout that every election cycle since obamacare passed, this was a huge issue and the american people have spoken out loudry that they don't like this, this is incumbent on us to go to washington d.c. to repeal and replace this plan with something that works as well as many other priorities we have which we're excited do. >> what do you make of the co
