You try to do the right thing only to get ripped off instead. (Laughter.) I’ve been a significant consumer, and my family has as well.īut look, Cory, your story, it turns out, is a very familiar one to too many Americans. I thought I knew a hell a lot about healthcare and - (laughter) - no, I’ve been a sig- (microphone feedback) - sorry. And I have to thank my staff - and I mean that sincerely - for focusing on the healthcare piece. People are ready to meet their responsibilities.īut I think this is a big deal. And I don’t know anybody who likes being viewed as having been played for a sucker, taken advantage of. When I started to deal with junk fees relating to airline costs, ticket seats, baggage, and the like, I think even some of the folks working with me thought, “It’s not that big a deal.” But, you know, in America - it sounds corny - but fairness is something we kind of expect. And it’s not necessarily about healthcare it’s just about being played for a sucker. You know, Cory, what you’ve exposed is something that I think we don’t pay enough attention to in government.
