Rand Paul: ‘The Freedom Caucus Is Doing What’s Best for America’

‘We want more people to have insurance at a lower cost, and I’m still talking to the White House’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “I think the Freedom Caucus is doing what is best for America. They’re very principled and honorable men. I think that we’re trying to also let Republicans know that if we pass something bad, if insurance rates are going up at 20-25 percent a year from now after Republicans have taken ownership of healthcare, that won’t be good for the party. But it's also just not good for the country. We do want insurance rates to go down. We want more people to have insurance at a lower cost. And I’m still talking to the White House. I am still talking to the Freedom Caucus. I am talking to anybody that will listen, and I do still think — I think 70, 75 percent chance that we still do get repeal of ObamaCare, that we are going to find a good meeting place at some point.”
