Rep. Mike Kelly: I’ve Got Your Republican Alternative to ObamaCare Right Here

‘If you’re not speaking [Obama’s] language, he doesn’t hear you’

KELLY: “The president -- I think he thinks if he says it often enough, and long enough, and loud enough, people will listen to him. But I do think now we realize the emperor has no clothes, and we're looking at this, and we're saying this just isn't working, Mr. President. And we've been going, and talking to him, but he's a tough guy to talk to, because if you're not speaking his language, he doesn't hear you.”
VARNEY: “Right back on day one before the legislation was passed in the first place, weren't you recommending tort reform, which is a mainstay of your current plan?”
KELLY: “Well, absolutely, because listen, we want everybody protected from bad practices. But by the same token, these frivolous lawsuits drive the costs off the charts. And you know, and I know, this was never about health care for people, this is about insurance for people. There’s a huge difference. We have the best health care in the world. Now they just have to have access to it, and it has to be affordable. We’ve done things that make common sense approaches to making it able for everyday Americans to be able to go to sleep at night, put your head on the pillow, and know that you're covered. We got you covered, and that's what we're there for, that's our job. If we can't do that we shouldn't be in Washington.”
