“I want to blame the other party for high health care costs. I say their changes made insurance too expensive. People in my state dropped their insurance. They can't pay for food and health care. I say it's the other party's fault. I want to keep our health care law. I want to keep spending money to make insurance cheaper. The other side is bad and mean. They won't spend more money. I want you to think they're against families. I want to complain that now more people don't have insurance. I want you to blame the other party.”
