let's talk to our friend, former special counsel to president clinton, lanny davis. we've got to get him onto the republican side. maybe the obama team should read it. also with us, hadley heath. lanny, i don't think it's a good product. and i'll say it's going to cost a whole lot more and the product line is going to be less and the networks are going to shrink and i think people in the country are generally pissed off and he lied and that hurt him, too. >> if you're right, i'll agree with you. i'm just not sure you're right. i certainly applaud you for saying the republicans need an alternate because we are the only western democracy in the world that has no national health insurance guaranteed access to health care. why is it that it's good enough for the canadians, for the swedes, for the swiss, for the french and for the english but not the americans -- >> the canadians come over the border to detroit. i love the canadians. they've got a good monetary policy, lower corporate tax rates than we have. their economy is growing better. but when it comes to health care

. >> what did you think of -- >> lanny davis, former special counsel to president bill clinton and author of crisis tales. good to see you. thank you very much. >> you listen to that. david axelrod thinks the president was ill served. it was part of a glitch, an error he didn't realize the grandfather clause could realize these millions of people would git letters saying they were no longer insured. do you agree? >> look, i was wrong. it was a terrible mess-up by every democrat, including myself, that didn't see this caused by raising the standards and requirements that members of congress almost like a wish list put on top of insurance companies requiring the standards to be raised leaving people out, causing them to lose their plans or pay more for new plans. i didn't see it coming. i accept president obama that he made a mistake. i don't think it is a lie when he said he was terribly wrong. >> the scenario you described is the basis of the entire system. it's that you will expand coverage for everybody and it will be cheaperment to say you could keep your health care system if you like
