From the New York Times, this is the new Washington.

I'm Michael Barbaro.

Premiums will rise in the individual market as a result of the Senate bill.

No, no, no, no, let me,

and this is an example of where we've got to get our facts straight.

That's my point.

We need to fix Obamacare.

We've got an Obamacare emergency in the state of Tennessee.

I agree with President Trump that we should replace and repeal major parts of Obamacare at the same time.

I don't think there are 40 votes to repeal and say to the American people.

Well, trust us to come up with something in the next couple of years.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I don't think that's a good idea.

There are a number of issues with the American health care system Mr. President, but if your

house is on fire you want to put out the fire. And the fire in this case is the

individual health insurance market. 18, 1920.

Carl Holt, who did you talk to this?

Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee,

longtime public servant, I guess I would say one two three four five six seven eight nine

nine ten I honestly don't know much about Lamar Alexander I only know his name. Why is this the first person that you

wanted to talk to? Well he'll be hurt that you didn't you don't know much about

him. I know his name. I actually think that Lamar Alexander right now is one of the most important people in Washington. Right now he is in charge of trying to salvage something out of the health care mass debacle whichever word you want to apply to that.
