The American people want a product. We're not even there and it’s not even likely to be there. Now we have this picture, this bus ride, this big hoopla.”
Americans “want health care fixed, they want pre-existing problems taken care of,” she added. “I don't get this thing. This is a big show. It is fun for us, it’s exciting, we have a big bus going down Constitution avenue. For what? Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed.” Predicting the bill will “go kerplunk” in the Senate, Van Susteren asked, “Then what?”
