RUSH EXCERPT:
MURPHY: "I have no idea what that means. Well, first of all, the first piece of that sound bite is very clear. What he is telling you is he is intentionally trying to hurt Americans, trying to drive the cost of their coverage up or ending their coverage in order to drive Republicans and Democrats to the negotiating table. First of all. That’s ridiculous. Second, he is kind of right that there is no clear part of the American health care system that is ObamaCare any longer, because the affordable care act is now wrapped inside of the American health care system. So when he thinks that he is sabotaging the affordable care act, or what he thinks is ObamaCare, he is really sabotaging the entire American health care system. When he pulls these cost sharing reduction payments for the insurance companies, it’s not just that those people lose insurance or have their premiums go up. Everybody else’s premiums go up because the insurance companies spread it out to everybody else. I guess he is kind of right that he attacking the whole health care system and not just ObamaCare."
