Snippet taken mid-interview.
TP2: He’s referring to the Federal Employees Benefits Plan that all members receive.
GUINTA: Well, I think there’s a difference between the benefit package and dictating to every American that they have to purchase health care. That being said, I am not taking the health care portion of the benefits.
TP: You won’t be taking the health care portion?
GUINTA: No.
