Democratic Rep. Reveals He's Paying More Under Obamacare
REP. DEVIN NUNES (R-CA): We have -- theoretically, we have plan and continue to have a plan that covers every American. It just does it in a different way.

And then, she said sure, dad, you're going to pay a little more because you make a lot more than other people in America make. She is absolutely right.
