MULVANEY: "I talked to the president at length about that issue yesterday. His attitude is this. It’s pretty simple. Keep in mind, he has this way of channeling the large amount of American public.

There is a certain benefit that members of Congress get as part of an opm decision and I think the president is looking at this going, is it fair? Is it fair that ObamaCare is hurting people?

I’m familiar with that issue. We’ll see what happens as it goes forward."
