I would say to the Senator from Florida, representing a State as diverse as his, with rural areas and major urban centers, there are some areas where private health insurance companies are not going to do business because it is not profitable. So when Chairman Ryan says we will just try to shift all of this responsibility to the private health insurance market, I am afraid many Americans--those in rural areas, maybe some with preexisting conditions because he is repealing the Affordable Health Care Act too--are going to find themselves without health insurance coverage.
