house said to reporters that, well, he has to find out if schumer is serious about this and he went on to say, i'm not sure that he is. to which schumer's office tweeted, he is serious. so we'll have to see how all this plays out. this is some of the bluffing that, of course, goesz on heren washington. but brooke, during the so-called off camera briefing that we just had with the deputy spokeswoman, sarah huckabee sanders, she said she continues to be optimistic about this, that he continues to make phone calls on all of this and they're confident this is going to get passed. but there remains some very big questions and one of the questions that came up during the briefing is what the president is willing to accept on the medicaid front. the program that provides medical care coverage for the poor, that appears to be one of the big sticking issues, as you know, for some of these moderate republican senators. they don't want to see poor people in their state go without health care. that's part of the big reason why the congressional budget office said that you would hahav have 22 million more americans going without health insurance
