Rand Paul: “Yes. I don't think it has actually fixed the problem. I think we were at 45, so I don't think it fixed half the problem.…”

“Yes. I don't think it has actually fixed the problem. I think we were at 45, so I don't think it fixed half the problem. The other interesting thing is of the people who didn't have health insurance, a third of the people without health insurance were young, healthy, and actually made more than $50,000 a year. They weren't getting health insurance because it was too expensive. What did we do to help them? We made health care more expensive. Mr. McCONNELL. I think this law has no chance of working. I don't believe that, even if we are unable to defund it here in the next few days, that we are necessarily stuck with it. I have been here a while, and you have been a long-time observer through your father's career and your own. I think it is pretty safe to conclude that things that can't work don't stick and don't last. We are, after all, a representative democracy. People complain, discuss, and tell us how they feel. I don't think this law can possibly stand. It is pretty hard to predict exactly the day upon which it ends, but it is cracking. We have Jimmy Hoffa, the President of the Teamsters, saying you are destroying the 40-hour work week, and their Cadillac health care plan. Don't you think ObamaCare can't possibly work?”
