a few weeks ago you came down from south carolina. i really appreciated that. you chose where you would like to go. i was a bit surprised because it was not necessarily the school or district that had the bells and whistles, but it was a --ool that is 92% property, poverty and at one time was the lowest performing school in our state, and that has changed. i would like you to reflect on what you saw at the school. and also at the manufacturing career center that we visited. sec. devos: thanks, molly. thanks all of you for having me here today. it is a pleasure to be back after being with you a year ago. i have visited many schools and done many things since then. i really, really enjoyed the day and south carolina. thethanks, molly, for hospitality there. i wanted to visit a school that had really major medic improvements in turning around. and it was palpable the energy in the building, the leadership from the teachers and the students and it was encouraging to see how acknowledging what some of the challenges were, making the changes necessary to address thos

obamacare has failed in south carolina.eplaced with plans that require the pre-existing conditions to be covered but more flexibility, more choices. so i'm going to run on health care. my idea is to take the money in washington, send it back to south carolina, cover suck people but let my -- sick people but let my state come up with the plan that fits south carolina and get out from this obamacare umbrella in washington that's crushing us. the supreme court, i believe, will strike obamacare down. the only reason roberts voted to uphold obamacare is because the individual mandate was considered to be a tax, and the government can tax almost anything. now the individual mandate has been struck out of the law. i think it falls. so here's my plan, to take the money in washington, block grant it back to the states, give the people of south carolina control of this money not some bureaucrat in washington, and we'll do a better job than anybody in washington could ever hope to do for south carolina. that is my plan. maria: and we'
