To try to find it yesterday. It behind closed doors. We might be looking at a markup next week. I thinkthe issues that they are still tried to work out credits issues with tax and Medicaid Expansion. Host this proposal under lock and key, who proposed it and who gets to look at it right now . Guest im not sure if i can speak to who exactly is in charge of writing it. I know members of the energy and commerce committee, gop members are able to go look at it right now. From what ive been seeing, they are not able to make copies of it. They are worried about leaks. Host energy and commerce hesters diction over repealing it has jurisdiction over repealing it. How is it going to work next week when the legislation is marked up . We heard Kevin Mccarthy say it will be like any other bill. Guest the ways and means , from what other legislation ive seen, it will first. E im not a next bird on rules. An expert on rules. Host there will be a markup. What are the Sticking Points right now . Guest we saw monday conservatives like mark meadows come out blasting the draft for the refundable tax credits. He sees discontinuation of entitlement programs and things like that. Speechresident trumps on tuesday when he made a push for tax credits, there were conservative members who made a point of saying he did not say refundable tax credits. That is the Sticking Point right now. Dealing with Medicaid Expansion. It really is a statebystate basis. Some expanded, some did not. There are senators who are worried about pulling the rug out from under people. Host there are republicans who say they dont like the approach being taken by the leadership. This would be a threeweek repeal senators want to see full repeal. What do senators like ted cruz and rand paul want . Guest what they exactly want is the 2015 reconciliation bill which would have repealed the mandates, the taxes, the expansion, they want to see that go through first. Thethen put replacement on a separate vehicle at the same time. The Freedom Caucus has taken that stance. Host in your story yesterday, republicans from Medicaid Expansion states face conflict in pressure. This conflicting pressure. Guest in places like ohio and other Medicaid Expansion states, it provided coverage for a lot of people. They are caught between sticking to a Campaign Promise to repeal obama care but not lose coverage for other people. You are hearing from governors who are concerned about the path forward. How it is going to be reformed. These are questions that senator corgan asked about. Host linda in misery. In missouri. Democrat. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. Something as important as health care should be placed on the ballot. I dont think we should have these people making decisions that will affect our pocket and affect our families. I dont think trump knows what hes doing. Hes being led around by the republicans. This is too important for them to make decisions for all of us. Host erin durkin, what has the president said about what he would like to see in any repeal and replace effort . Guest we saw in his speech some broad brush strokes of what he including taxsee credits and Health Savings accounts. Paul ryans message to republicans yesterday is that president trumps view is repeal alone is not an acceptable option. He is backing repeal and replace. Host what parts of the socalled obamacare will stay in any republican proposal . Guest they are certainly going to take out all the taxes, the individual mandate. That is part of the debate right now. You have some republicans who are saying maybe we should keep the taxes temporarily to pay for replacement. The is going to be tough is strict rules of the senate in terms of what can go into a reconciliation package. Those are questions that are still out there. Host regina. Republican. Caller good morning. Robbed medicare of 760 billion to fund itself. All this nonsense i hear about Social Security you already robbed medicare. Leave us alone. Im totally in support of senator rand paul. Rand paul is a true patriot. Bill would freeze budget spending. He has an amendment which is an option to the leadership. Mcconnell and ryans leadership. It would balance the budget by 2024 without changing Social Security and still repeals obamacare. How much more are we going to keep adding to the deficit . This whole idea of 26 years old i graduated college at 21. My dad said you are 21, you are on your own. What is this new concept of people continuing on and on i agree with mr. Bevan. Trump did take some time to meet with him. Kentuckymatt bevan of the net result has been a remarkable decline in access to health care coverage. More people covered, but covered by what . Cruzon, rand paul and ted and mitch mcconnell. You need to get on board with us. We are the payers. We have been discriminated against. We need to the whole bill repealed. Host rick in hartford, illinois. Democrat. Caller i dont get where all these people all of a sudden decided that millions of people need to be taken off of health care. They think about themselves. Illinois, it will be close to 800,000 people who will lose health care. Ive had medical issues. The least of them, high blood pressure. When you get rid of the preexisting conditions, it will go in the tank. All these people are getting aggravated because it affects them. I understand that. There are a lot of people who are getting care now because of the Affordable Care act. Happensin durkin, what under full repeal or partial repeal and replace . Guest with preexisting conditions republicans have expressed that they do want to continue covering people with preexisting conditions. The devil is always in the details. Right now, they are looking at repealing the individual mandate onch will make it harder Insurance Companies to continue covering people with preexisting conditions. They are looking for other ways to replace the mandate. I know there is another proposal out there that has automatic enrollment. I think it depends on the direction they go. It may look a little different. This will be dependent on how they replace the individual mandate. Host tennessee. Independent. You are on the air, tommy. Caller im on disability and i want to know how this will affect me. Has there been any notion of a health care debit card that would take the money that each person gets in health care and put it on a debit card and let them manage it like a foodstamp card . Guest im not exactly sure if ive heard of that proposal ive heard of Health Savings accounts that would give consumers more control over how they spend their money on health care. Details. Heard exact host mike in vermont. Democrat. Caller hello. Im on the independent line im actually. Independent line, actually. This full ordeal would be so much simpler if we could deal with the needs of the American People over the needs of pharmaceutical companies. And the Health Insurance industry. I wish i representatives would represent us instead of companies. , are youn durkin seeing what do you know about lobbyists and special interests trying to get their say . Guest when it comes to the Affordable Care act from Insurance Companies are weighing in bigtime. The given a list to congress. This is what we need in order to sustain the marketplace and not drop out of the market place. They are saying cautionary subsidies host what does that mean . Guest i apologize. I dont want to mess up the actual definition. Basically, they are subsidies that help cover low income people. They need to continue to get note subsidies in order to drop out of the marketplace. Host john in pennsylvania. Democrat. Caller i want to call about the health care situation. We need universal Health Care Like canada. The where what republicans say you have access to. I have access to buying a 1 million house, but i cannot afford it. , i resent part of it that. , you havethat access to certain things. Host mike in houston, texas. Republican. We should takeve ownership of health care. Consumers are more sensitive to price when they own their health care and actually up paper maintenance. Have to paper minutes. Pay for maintenance. Look at the inflation rate. The costs are flat. Look at obamacare, the inflation rate is out of control. It is the opposite of what we want. It is not affordable and people dont own it. When people own it, they own a stake in the cost, prices go down. We need more competition as a solution. When patients have a stake in the cost of the product. Host any thoughts on that . Any effort to do what the color is talking about caller is talking about . Guest increasing competition is a gold the republicans have in mind. In terms of having more control over health care, this is why theres so much opposition to the essential Health Benefits requirements in the statute. It really outlines what Insurance Companies need to cover and what people need to pay for. Republicans are looking at , increasingof that competition amongst the Insurance Markets to bring down costs. Host miami, ford appeared in florida. Independent. Caller they have to fix it and make it much cheaper and much better. On the development they beat down hillarys attempt in the 1990s to Bring Health Care to the American People. Since then come of they have never made any attempt to improve or Bring Health Care to the people. When obama brings health care to them, they start fighting it and killing it. Care. Ant to kill health some people cannot afford health care. They are getting obamacare. Host rosemary in florida. Democrat. Sometimesam puzzled i am a democrat, but i dont hear them talking about things they should be talking about. Heard apparently, in 2015, in one of the budget bills come i believe it was marco rubio that put forth a ider on the budget bill that took away the money for reimbursing Insurance Companies if they actually lost money from yeartoyear. Which they anticipated they would. Because there were so many sick people out there. My husband was one. Obamacare saved his life. Nobody talks about that. Host what about that . Storieshis is one of my now, the election right you had republican senators not wanting to pay the it is a conundrum for them. Same with cautionary subsidies, these payments that they did not view favorably under president obamas administration. Now, they are necessary to pay out to stabilize the marketplace while they transition to their own system. Host a couple of comments on twitter here kevin in missouri. Republican. ,aller i was just going to say im in favor of repealing the Affordable Care act because im one of those guys who lost my doctor and i have allergies. I was almost through my allergy shots and now i have to start it all over again. Being selfish we cant afford to pay the obamacare premiums. We are not creating jobs for people. Host what happens to the employer mandate . Guest in the draft the employer mandate, they are looking to repeal it. Along with a lot of the other mandates, such as the additional mandates, they are trying to go after the insurance refinance. The essential Health Benefits. Host what does that mean . Guest there were categories within the statute that Insurance Companies were required to cover. They were defined by hhs. Many republicans felt like this was too much of a micromanagement. Host gail in ohio. Independent. Ohio. E in caller the Health Care Law is not a problem. The problem is the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about. She corporate ceo compensation. When you are the head of an Insurance Company and you think you deserve 25 million a year in compensation, theres the problem. Host jean in wisconsin. Democrat. Caller good morning to you. Glad to see you are back, greta. Ive never seen a bill come out that has to be changed around some. I can understand where some premiums are too high for people. Fix it. Theres a lot of good things in the obamacare that people enjoy having. Say is fix it. Get the bad things out and put in good things. Host legislation changes. House republicans what is happening on the senate side . Guest youre getting a mixture of ideas. Certainly the one that comes to mind is senator collins bill that would allow some states to continue obamacare. If not, they can do marketbased solutions. On the other side of the spectrum, you have senator rand they have a 5,000 tax credit attached to a Health Savings account. Theres a mixer of ideas that overlap mixture of ideas that overlap. Comeding to senator cornyn , theya meeting wednesday are looking at the house bill. Does ishat the house going to shape what the senate is going forward. Host tallahassee, florida. Brenda is a republican. Caller somebody called an earlier and asked they said how is this going to affect disability . When you are on disability for 24 months, after 24 months, you automatically go to Social Security medicare. I know from experience. I have a heart condition and i have to be on disability. After two years, you go to Social Security medicare. , you have chd medicare advantage. Additional 10 or 15 a month, you can have an insurance that helps you with medicare. Medicare only pays 80 of your bill. Chp medicare advantage, the benefits are better. Outofpocket for annual is 3200. 10,000 dollar heart surgery, your outofpocket would be 3200. The republicans want to expand insurance so it goes across state lines some people in the who have rotten entrance will finally benefit from the way things are done in florida. So that people in the north who have rotten insurance will finally benefit from the way things are done in for florida. I know that there are other members that looked at medicare right now, many are saying medicare, this is not the time to talk about it. Host lois in florida. Republican. Caller i want to make a comment you played the conversation and kevineny hoyer mccarthy. Im boiling at that. The steny hoyer and the rest of the democrats forget what they did with obamacare .
