Then i feel like i might ve done something. sean, in 2021, 20.4 million pills, counterfeit pills containing fentanyl, of all the pills they seized, over 40% of those pills were deadly. that s a warning to everyone. the story doesn t end my care, sean. going to continue to report on this. this is a national security issue as well as an issue that families are dealing with daily and we ll make sure to get to the bottom of it. thank you, sean. great reporting. i know people who lost their children from this. it s its own pandemic in a way. lives can be saved. everybody needs to understand how bad this is. thank you. great reporting. more hannity right after this.
Totality of the trump presidency, which still isn t four months old yet, you continue to see how michael flynn as tapped by being the national security adviser has produced damaging headline after headline for the trump white house. and then i think it s going to culminate in this afternoon s testimony with sally yates. now, as my colleagues peter alexander and kristen welker have reported, the trump white house has pushed back in saying, well, if michael flynn was so problematic, why didn t the obama white house revoke his security clearance? they re trying to push back on that. still, a tough story for the trump white house. all right, mark. big implications for capitol hill on the fallout over health care reform. there s a six-figure ad buy that gets under way today, targeting house republicans who voted in favor of the bill to repeal and replace obamacare. it s by an advocacy group, save my care. they re launching the tv and digital ads against 24 republicans. joining the convers
Colleagues gave the new health care bill to one of the insurance companies and said, tell us what the premiums would be under this new plan. and on this company s plan, a 58% increase next year. 58%. and they said, under this new plan, we ll be at 10%. we ll be at a 10% decrease from the 58% increase. now, that is going in the right direction allowing more people to have access to care. tell me that we re going to have more people covered with a 58% increase in insurance premiums on top of last year s 40% to 50% increase. that s unbelievable. so i think what we have done is we re looking to try to drive down the cost and encourage more people to take advantage of the program. more people are going to be discouraged by what is going on with obamacare and not take out the planks as they continue to have less access. i can tell you story after story of people in my district who have problems trying to get access to care. i have a gentleman who has a spinal condition who came up to me and
Falling apart. you look at what is happening in iowa, they are losing 94 of the 99 counties that will have no coverage whatsoever. you re looking at virginia, unof the big companies just pulled out or will shortly. you look at kentucky, 16 different counties do you know that people in your district gained coverage? yes, with the new program we ll have more people to have coverage. they did under obamacare, yes. if obamacare continues to implode, what you ll find is more and more people have no coverage. they have nothing whatsoever. as evidence by the fact that companies are pulling out right now. you see this all across the country. you see it imploziding and collapsing as we have seen. as we have done with the health care bill is provide people with the opportunity to go back in and work with their doctors for their own care to actually take care of themselves in a personal way. where the government and insurance company get in the middle of this and tell us what
They can and cannot do. i have a lot of folks encouraged by what we re doing. they believe we re going to be able to provide care at a better price and more opportunities for them. so we re looking forward to this bill getting through the senate and signed by the president. there s no doubt there are places like virginia where there are problems with obamacare and problems with coverage. there are also a number of studies and one i would cite would be s&p that looks at issues that give people advice on how to invest. they said when they looked at blue cross blue shield, a major provider, that 2016 was a marked improvement over previous years for most insurers, and, in fact, that in 2017, the aca individual market is not, quote, in a death spiral. according to analysis there. so i know republicans like to keep saying that, but there are contradictory evidence, congressman. well, i disagree with you again, i m sorry. given an example, one of my
