A lot of new cost a 160.

Medical malpractice reform -- Allowing small businesses to -- across state lines like.
Allowing small businesses to group together.
We believe there's a lot of things you can do.
That will help small business.
Lower cost gone forward -- I imagine your viewers sending your members want -- know the answer this question we won't know until after the presidential election what do you think are the real chances for the Republicans to get the kind of sweep in the election.
That would be needed to repeal the law.

Are going to be very focused and this is going to be a big issue.
