issues, to put in the forefront climate change and the activities that we had to take to both grow the economy and protect our planet, again, weren t going to be solved in four years or eight years. in reality, i doubt they ll be solved in four or eight years of the biden administration. these are items that continually have to be updated. the root of what you can see president biden working on started with president obama. the affordable care act, they started this week and talked about the increase in the number of people that have signed up for coverage under obamacare. now joe biden wants to strengthen and improve obamacare. i think it s really just drawing that line between those rather than just saying this is joe biden or barack obama s third term. you make good sense. i see you neglected to call out like four years of a hiccup in between these years progressing. speaking of progressing,
base subsidies and expenses, those are industry folks who have benefited from those phenomena but who hasn t benefited? the american citizens, especially small businesses are struggling under obamacare, insurance premiums are out of control, plans with big insurers but one of the things the pres. is alluding to his secretary acosta will propose association health plans. and allowing small businesses to come together so they can have the same negotiating power and leverage big companies have. rob: 4 million people lost health insurance coverage under obamacare. if you ask democrats they say
they can t pass a bill that would satisfy the kind of conditions modern senate republicans and conservative senate republicans will vote for unless they break the filibuster and allow different bill to be crafted and pass with 50 republican votes and vice president rob: so much heat on getting obamacare from major medical organizations and you took a huge pile of money and stuck in front of all these people they will fight to keep that in their best interest. my question is there were things about obamacare that were good, when you have someone young and healthy that doesn t want to pay for it. it is true that all americans should have health insurance that they can t afford and it
whether 20 million people who gained coverage under his 2010 law will remain insured. do you believe that, the people who will going to lose health care is going to be, if not the biggest element in this not passing? right. i mean, 20 million people have coverage under obamacare. under the republican plan, cbo estimated that 24 million were going to lose it. those are big numbers. those are those are very difficult for congress to get over. so, now, really, president trump says that obamacare is about to explode. he just wants to let it explode. that would be the best thing because it would bring democrats to the table. but is he really able to tell 20 million people, sorry, i m not doing anything for you. it s going to be difficult and for lawmakers. here s the other thing, the republicans had seven years to come up with a plan. then, of course, president trump came into the mix and had his
kind of chuckled. look, i m doing what i can do and i m not interested in being in a war of word with the president. i m going to praise him when he s right and when i don t think he s right i ll criticize if i don t think i m out of line. as far as the health care plan that the president and the gop leadership are pushing, you and three other republican governors have raised concerns about the impact on medicaid saying you ve said the house bill, quote, provides almost no new flexibility for states, it doesn t ensure the resources necessary to make sure no one is left out and shifts significant new costs to states. you were able to get by expanding medicaid 700,000 people who wouldn t have been covered got coverage under obamacare. what happens to them under this plan now? this thing needs to be reformed, no question. the costs are growing. the exchange, the other part of
