Judd Gregg: “the first obligation of a national government is national defense, in my opinion.”

I subscribe to Senator Gregg's emphasis on value-based reimbursement. I think we're making progress on Medicare. It's not hopeless.

In Hillary's case, it's a big issue, because of her -- because of the challenges that she has on the ethical side. In Trump's case, it's a big issue, because he's so erratic.

Why would we do it? Because it makes no sense, from the standpoint of policy.

the policies behind getting these numbers under control are extremely difficult politically, because they involve very tough decisions.
