lissa: my mother-in-law's policy was canceled.asting asie the oes that we do't like, do we have the ability to do that? >> i don't think we are. the republicans can sing likely delayed make changes and the response was always tht it is th law of the land and that was well, if it i, then you can keep doing all of these things you're doing tchange it but the president today, he comes out with this newidea of what we are going to do, we are ing to delay the implementation, let you pick up a catastrophic policy, l's roll back a few weeks when he sad that the reasonthat you had to have the obamacare policy was bcauseof what people had before, it was junk insurance. melissa: you thought you liked it, but it was actually a terrible policy you shouldot have had. >> right. and did he get better all of a sudden? >> no, if it's a dumb policy, it's a junk policy. and so i think the president has talked himself into a deep hole. and whatever he does, it is not going fix it because he keeps changing his own tune and sition. melissa: always go b

lissa: i always go backto the math.here's a lot of people that signed up because they we thrilled and desperate and willing to it through whatever it took on the website because they didn't have any health care. but right now, who are paying for those people? >> the taxpayers will pay for it. yowill be heavily subsidized. but the 15% that we thought we would keephearing, a lot of those just didn't want it. bu there are people from obamacare will work, it will e e very sick people but we could have done was fixed that and not disrupt the insunce for the other 85%. >> lee would've done a is to subsidi it. ere's no other way. put them in an independent poll. and th we do it where we have co-pays and deductibles and premiums, and it's stale. by their diseases, many that are beyond the capacity of any family to pay for it. melissa: we roll back time, we had this option like you just described, that wou ensure these folks. but the upside is that it's not going to disrupt the rest of the health care industry. if we would've ha

lissa: you were being more generous about it than i would. i'm thinking insurance companies are sitting here. they have been the whipping bo. they have been ones who been blamed for all the people who got kicked off their health care and they're sitting there saying you know what? we were thrown under the bus. now we're stuck with all these people who are going to, we have more expenses. we have people who are sicker in the pool. we still have to charge the same lower rate to these other people. we're getting screwed all over the pce. so we deserve more money, in terms of subsidy. i don't think they're going to be, you know, careful with their estimate of how much they're supposed to get from the government because the government hasn't been careful with them. >> number probably the best thing of course for the insurance company, it's check. it is money. it is in their hand. they don't have to wait for the process to work. one thing everybody found out is that the obama administration was completely unprepared, even after those 3 1/2 years, w
