RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CASSIDY: "The president — first, James, let me just push back. The president is not gutting the Affordable Care Act. Let’s just take the cost-sharing reduction payments as one example. They’re unconstitutional. A court has said so. And with the president focusing on middle-class families who are paying $30,000 to $40,000 a year for premiums plus deductibles on top of this. Think about that, $30,000 to 40,000 a year. If there’s something, which is damaging the credibility of the Affordable Care Act, is these premiums which are unaffordable, not that which the president is doing."
