So thats an indication of the magnitude of benefit for the affordable care act in kentucky and you know what were seeing is primarily an ideological battle on behalf of republicans they just dont believe in government involvement in health care. they believe in the sanctity of the free market. theres not one place in the world where health care is left up to the free market. it just doesnt work. >> there isnt. there is no system on earth where theres a pure free market system that works. i want ...

I have think it can be fixed. i think there is things that can be incorporated. the fact is they promised to repeal. they are going to have to deliver a true repeal. they promised to replace and it needs to be a replacement. not just a revision or little bit of reform and then little bit of rewording. a tap of the hammer and turn of the screwdriver doesnt work. they have to make major changes in it most notably in the fact that you cannot continue to force insurance companies to pay unlimited am...

American health care act as drafted because of the expected decline in health insurance coverage. >> hes confident he has the votes to get it passed. also a big task for president trump who will be wooing key members of congress next week. hes inviting them to the white house for a pizza and bowling party to see if he can convince them. >> if that doesnt work, i dont know what will. it works on us. >> works with my 10-year-olds and 11-year-olds at birthday parties. lets bring in our political pa...

Affordable health care in the last few years and its real health care clinics that are thriving that before couldnt afford to have their doors open. its real hospitals that because they were on the verge of closing and now are on sound financial footing. this is going to effect a red america as powerful as its going to effect blue america and thats why this bill, i dont think this bill is going to make it. >> president trump from our cnn reporting has a plan b and what he has been saying to sour...

Of americans for whom the public markets doesnt work? >> of course. weve had medicaid and medicare for a long, long time. medicaid is supposed to be for the disabled, the really low extremely low income. its supposed to be for specific populations. obamacare expanded it to, you know, able-bodied adults, able-bodied people. that i think is a problem. i would much rather instead of putting those people on a government program, i would rather bring back health care thats affordable. i want to pick ...

Conference mincing word. there were higher premiums before obamacare and during obamacare but the rate of increase has been slower. >> no one is arguing that health care was perfect before. obamacare was more mandates, more taxes, mandate people buy it and if they dont, they get penal ooize penalized. >> lets bring back affordable insurance. >> there was never affordable insurance. i was saying to bill kristol, nowhere on earth is there a free market that works. it just one of those areas that a...

Chaffetz. hes been watching "f "fox & friends" and tweet back at the screen talking about expa expanding state -- so you can buy coverage across the states which, guess what, is already offered. this idea that somehow thats going to be the quick fix to obamacare and quick fix to the health care industry and insurance industry is sort of ludicrous because a lot of states have tried that and it doesnt work. if youre in new york, you dont -- youre not going to want to buy health insurance in missis...

[ inaudible ] >> can you by some estimates, 10 million people could lose coverage. is that acceptable? >> what matters is were lowering costs. the government will always win the war on government-mandated plans. i just think that entire premise of that comparison doesnt work. the fact is, were not going to have the government tell you what you must do, tell you what you must buy. were going to let people decide what they want to do with their lives, and we want to lower costs by having more comp...

Doctors are making these decisions. >> cvs score isnt out yet, can you guarantee that this plan will not have a marginally negative impact on the deficit or result in millions of americans losing insurance? >> what i can say the goal and the desire i know of the individuals on the hill is to make sure that this does not increase the cost to the government. >> two elements of the bill, i have questions about how they control costs and how they help with access. the medicaid per capita block grant...

The aclu saying it is same thing in a different package. that is her estimation. i think what will happen, it will go through the court system, get different circuit court rulings, this thing as of the supreme court. its at the end game of how this thing was drafted, knowing, -- >> that is a great question. a couple of potential and games, as john roberts just pointed out, one of the purposes of rescinding the old ways to undercut the 48 lawsuits that have been filed against the president. this ...
