Ask him how he proposes to pay for repealing Obamacare, which the CBO projected would cost $109 billion between 2013-2022. How are they going to cover that?

You could also point out that health care costs have been going up for a very long time, and would still be going up today even without Obamacare. Ask him why CEOs should be paid such high salaries when that cost has to be passed along to patients, who are already hurting in this economy.
