Let me say, i give the president a lot of credit. so many people in washington run from a fire. he runs to it. he didnt have to tackle this issue. he could have put this on the back burner. it is like he says, obamacare has been a disaster. i think he came into washington with the very best of intentions here and he thought the house republicans, which have been studying this issue, dealing with it for many years, would have a really good proposal. i was shocked, actually, when i saw that they a...

And so there are a lot of republicans who might be saying im against this because its big government, but theyre actually also against it because a lot of their people are going to lose coverage. second problem is it flies totally in the face of president trumps own promises. he kept saying over and over again, im not going to cut medicaid and medicaid gets cut by $880 billion. im going to cover everybody. this bill clearly increases the number of uninsured. last problem is a lot of governors do...

State. medicaid is already under siege. under the house bill, you can still enroll people up through 20 19 2019. i dont know why wed want to add more people to a broken program called medicaid. >> what do we do with the people who need health care who dont have money? >> put them on medicaid. >> how do we pay is the next question? >> you need to make it more efficient. the federal government will contribute. 50% from the federal government. 50% -- >> not 90-10. >> not 90-10. medicare and medicai...

>> any thought -- do you know what president trump thinks about this bill tonight? since you know him? >> i havent -- i -- i do know him but i havent spoken to him recently about it. but i am sure that he is working on it and he has hinted both him and the white house that theyre very interested in a compromise plan or some adjustments to the original house plan. >> i hope youll join us again. thank you very much for joining us. >> glad to be with you, greta. >> thank you. with me, "washington...

Tearing down obamacare. it doesnt surprise me that both the stock market and the business community are where they are. they are beyond the tweets. there are realities that are still playing out here especially on the russia front as the story, not the distractions but the actual, as progress occurs and as we learn more day-by-day, that is still a story that the business community may be a lagging indicator on that. if that story ends up progressing and doing fundamental political damage to the ...

For example. >> there is no replacement. 64 times they voted to repeal the affordable care act and they still do not have a replacement. do not repeal the affordable care act. and show us the beef. show us the alternative. >> mitch mcconnell said repeal and replace of obamacare is not going to be easy but they are committed to keeping this promise to the american people. martha. >> martha: thank you, mike. >> bill: fox news alert were learning that vice president joe biden and he and president o...

Until youre 26. i think thats a little long in the tooth. im a mom. i hope my kids are on their own by then. but this may be a very clear strategy and moving slowly. part of it is getting tom price through the hearing process because 60 to 70% of this can be dismantled right there at hhs. they probably dont want to talk too much about that. some of it can be done through some of the tax code. this thing is going to be dismantled and theyll open this up to competition. this is what people wanted....
