"I think there are tremendous benefits to health care reform that weren't mentioned when you were talking about what you kind of call the meager benefits."

"My concern is that the Senate bill comes close to this situation because of the extremely weak enforcement of the individual mandate."

"And it seems to me that if--ok, so, that's valuable. That's really valuable."
