Affordable Care Act breaks enrollment record

OPPORTUNITIES FOR REPUBLICANS TO RUN, AND FOR A LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE TO RUN THE CASE AND TAKE A LOT OF VOTES AWAY FROM DONALD TRUMP. >> THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR REPUBLICANS TO RUN AS REPUBLICANS. BY THE WAY, THIS PAST WEEKEND IN IOWA, DONALD TRUMP ALSO PROMISED THIS IF HE WINS A SECOND TERM. >> AND WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT FOR MUCH BETTER HEALTH CARE THAN OBAMACARE. OBAMACARE IS A CATASTROPHE, AND WITHOUT JOHN McCAIN, WE WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE, AND REMEMBER, McCAIN HE COULDN'T RAISE HIS ARM, HE DID THAT, AND THAT WAS THAT. >> TRUMP'S ATTACKS ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT KEEP PROVING TO BE A POLITICAL LOSER. 14 YEARS LATER THE LANDMARK HAS BROKEN THE ALL-TIME ENROLLMENTS RECORD FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR. THIS IS THE SAME LEGISLATION THAT REPUBLICANS WANTED TO REPEAL AND REPLACE, REPEAL AND REPLACE. THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY WANT TO REPEAL AND REPLACE, BUT THEY NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT WITH. JOINING US NOW, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, XAVIER BECERRA, AND HERE WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT HERE FIRST ON "MORNING JOE" ABOUT THE RECORD-BREAKING ENROLLMENT NUMBERS. WHAT IS IT, SIR? >> MIKA, WHEN YOU CAN SAY THERE ARE 20 MILLIONS AMERICANS TODAY THAT HAVE PEACE OF MIND BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, THAT'S A SUCCESS. THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS PROVEN MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE TO HAVE PIECE OF MIND. RATHER THAN TRY ABOUT THE TRIFECTA, SOERBLG SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID, AND NOW THE ACA MARKET PLACES ARE GIVING AMERICANS THAT PEACE OF MIND THEY NEED. >> CHRIS MATTHEWS, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT, AND REPUBLICANS HATE THE ACA AND WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. >> WELL, LOT OF PEOPLE VOTE DEMOCRATIC BECAUSE THEY LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY, THEY DO REALLY LIKE IT, AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IT'S THEIR SURVIVAL MONEY, AND IT'S THE GREATEST ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAM IN AMERICAN HISTORY, BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING WHEN THEY GET OLD AND THEY GAVE THEIR MONEY AWAY TO TUITION AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND NOW YOU HAVE MEDICARE, AND MEDICARE PLUS IN SOME CASES, AND MEDICAID FOR LONG-TERM CARE, AND PEOPLE SAY THAT'S FOR POOR PEOPLE, BUT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE A LONG-TERM CARE SITUATION, THEY RELY ON MEDICAID, AND THAT'S A FACT. AND THEN THEY GOT A HEALTH CARE PROGRAM THROUGH THANKS TO PELOSI, AND HER ABILITY TO MOVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN A WAY THAT COULD GET SOMETHING DONE, WHICH SHE DID. IT'S HERE. I THINK THAT WHEN PEOPLE WANT HEALTH CARE, THEY ALWAYS SAY HOW IS YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE DOING? IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SICK, THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN GREAT. IT'S GREAT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT NEEDED IT, BUT WHEN YOU NEED IT, IT'S THE LIFE SAVER. >> NANCY PELOSI CALLS IT HER GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE BUT NOT PERFECT, BUT AN INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT. >> AND BARACK OBAMA PROBABLY SENDS HER FLOWERS EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THAT. AND ANOTHER THING THEY ARE TACKLING IS THE HIGH PRICE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN THE COUNTRY, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE DISCONNECT ABOUT HOW THE ECONOMY IS DOING AND HOW AMERICANS FEEL THE ECONOMY IS DOING, AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT GETTING THE NEWS OUT ABOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS? >> RATHER THAN TALKING ABOUT REPEALING SOMETHING THAT GIVES PEOPLE PEACE OF MIND, THE PRESIDENT IS DOING OUTREACH, AND WHAT COMES WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AND IT SELLS ITSELF. WHEN YOU CAN GET HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR $10 OR LESS A MONTH IN PREMIUMS, AND IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A MONTH'S WORTH OF HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR $10 OR LESS IN PREMIUMS. THE PROBLEMS THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION MADE NO EFFORT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY COULD GET. WE'RE OUT THERE, AND WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR THEM TO COME FOR US AND WE ARE GOING TO THEM, AND THE 20 MILLION PEOPLE SHOWS IT. IT'S 20 MILLION TODAY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN THAT BY THE TIME WE FINISH THE ENROLLMENT PERIOD, WHICH IS TUESDAY THE 16th. TO ANYBODY WATCHING, PLEASE, TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR $10
