...I quoted is how she fell into the trap of changing the subject on herself--as many interviewers seem to do.

There should be a short list of questions that you demand an answer to; not a long list of questions that you will just accept any babble or lie for an answer to and move on to the next one.

IMO, what the actual plan that Turnip and Republicans have for healthcare is an extremely important question to force them to answer. I believe we all know: there really isn't one. But as long as they are allowed to pretend like they have some plan or concept of a plan if only the ACA would get defunded or repealed and not be forced to admit there is no plan then they can continue to lie and lie and lie about it and sound somewhat credible.

Healthcare touches all of our lives. The prices we all pay for it are intertwined. "[A]s many as 66.5% of people who file for bankruptcy blame medical bills as the primary cause."

I get that Norah is a millionaire interviewing a billionaire, and neither of them probably even know anyone that has had to declare bankruptcy over medical debt--but to the vast majority of the American people this is either an extremely important issue now or will be one in the future. Everyone needs healthcare.

But Norah did not press for an answer to her question, "where is that plan?" She switched topics to the subsidies; let the Evil Orangeutan off the hook; and then moved on.

Forcing Turnip and Republicans to admit they have no healthcare plan--that saying "we can make it good," isn't a damn plan for anything; and that until such a day the ACA is fundamental to making sure more Americans do not suffer under a system that is geared towards profits for companies that never even touch a patient--is a critical step towards actually helping the American people and exposing their hypocrisy.
