"I was raised by a woman who would sometimes go into medical debt so that she could put food on the table in our household. I know what it's like to not be able to afford the things that you need to afford."

"We want to keep those regulations in place. But we also want to make the health insurance marketplace function a little bit better. Now, what Governor Waltz just said is actually not true. A lot of what happened in the reason that Obamacare was crushing under its own weight is that a lot of young and healthy people were leaving the exchanges. Donald Trump actually helped address that problem and he did so in a way that preserved people's access to coverage who had pre-existing conditions."

"He introduced pricing transparency. Think about healthcare. You go into a hospital. You try to buy something and nobody knows what it actually costs. That price transparency will actually give American consumers a little bit more choice. And we'll also drive down costs."

"Sometimes those fancy credentials are useful. And what helped me in that moment, Hayes, is I kept on thinking about the grandmother who raised me. It's a very good question, Trinity, and they're actually connected. Right? And that printed money shows up as inflation. I mean, it's a little bit silly.

I signed up for a student health plan and it was a lot of money. I didn't have anybody helping me out. I was on pelgrance and things were pretty tight because I didn't come from a family of means. I didn't come from a family of money. I had no idea. I spent hundreds of dollars on health insurance premiums until somebody said, hey, why don't you go to the VA and get healthcare service? I said, I don't think I'm allowed to. They said, I know that you are and that's what changed that for me and saved me probably thousands of dollars."

"We make a sacred compact between our nation's veterans. We say we're going to send you off to places. Sometimes places to tell us these point that you never should have sent to in the first place. But when you come home, there are certain obligations we're going to meet. And God forbid, if you don't come home, we're going to meet those obligations to your family."
