These are vital facts to have. It really is a lot more expensive. And it is going to raise taxes and throw people out of the insurance they have now than what the administration was claiming.

Maybe it would have failed, and we would have been on a whole different trajectory right now if they had been open and honest about this report that the American people and us as their Representatives should have had access to.
