So Medicare for All, among other things, means you will lose your private health insurance, okay? If you like the insurance plan you have now, you will lose it under Medicare for All. That's part of the legislation, point number one. 160 million Americans, by the way, private Medicare through their employer, and they like it, but they'll lose it. Second point I want to raise is, in that legislation, sir, Medicare for All means Medicare -free. Medicare for all means Medicare free for illegal immigrants in the United States. Free health care for illegals. And it turns out that includes things like food stamps and SNAP and Medicaid and housing subsidies. Illegals would be eligible for free health care, free Medicare, free Medicaid, and a variety of other small entitlements as well. Now, I don't know if people know that, Mr. Johnson. I don't know, Speaker, Now, I don't know if people know that, Mr. Johnson. I don't know. but I think they ought to know in the next 16 days. Absolutely right. And in addition to that, they would erase the border. Remember, they would put the welcome mat back out and let everybody in the world come in. Medicare for all is a disaster. It would turn government over, the government in charge of health care, like everything else. You would surrender your freedom. You would surrender choice in the marketplace. What we want to do is bring down costs by adding transparency and marketplace. What we want to do is bring down costs by adding transparency. competition and bringing some order to this chaos. We have great ideas to do that, but we have to have some reasonable Democrats who will assist so we can pass that through the Senate. That's what we're hoping for. What I'm concerned about, Larry, is going forward, I don't think this is our father's Democrat party anymore. I think they are going far left. You see that emerging around the country. I'm afraid this insurgent left group would take us over the cliff, and once again, that's why everybody has to vote. group would take us over the cliff. Once again, that's why everybody I mean, really, every vote's going to count. You have to keep common sense in charge, and that's a vote for the Republicans, for the House and the Senate.
