Wasserman Schultz Claims No One in Florida Is Complaining About Premium Increases

RUSH EXCERPT:
HARLOW: "Before you go, in your home state of Florida, premiums this year on the Silverman going up 19%. Last year they went up 9.5%. You 2340e these families, they write and call you and say we can't afford this. Where was the urgency --"
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "Actually that's not what they're saying."
HARLOW: "You've had no constituents say this is too expensive?"
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "People vote with their feet. What that means is when something is too expensive, they walk away. We have the most sign-ups for the affordable care act in the entire country in the state of Florida. You also would have the most people lose coverage under the Republican pay more for less plan, TrumpCare would be a disaster for my state and disproportionately hurt the elderly. The elderly would have astronomical increases in their health care cost. It's outrageous and unacceptable."
HARLOW: "You have had some big providers pulling out."
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "We still have choice.
HARLOW: "You haven't heard from any constituents who say this is getting too expensive?"
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "There are people who always complain that health care is too expe expensive. We've had the lowest rate of growth in health care costs in 50 years. Much higher rates of increase before the affordable care act. There's no denying that. Of course, we always want to get a handle on health care costs. What we don't need to do to achieve that is take health care away from millions and millions of people and pile increases in costs on the elderly, the sick and the disabled to give a massive tax break to the wealthiest 400 Americans in this country. That's what this bill does. This is a massive tax break for the wealthy disguised as a health care bill."
