The headline here as you understand it regarding the senate bill? >> the headline is its a popular bill because its a bad bill. it will force people to pay much more for their premiums out-of-pocket. it hits the lowest income people through the medicaid cuts and its a huge tax break for higher income people. people are realizing the content and opposing it. >> steve, one of the things that seems striking to me is, it would seem to me this is a fundamental reshaping of one of this countrys oefdel...

That has nothing to do with obamacare. if you wanted to fix the cost of health care, there would be something in this bill about controlling the cost of prescription drugs, as an example. >> i started sifting these things, 142 pages. it havent had time to go through the whole thing. theres a section where they talk about repealing certain taxes, the tanning tax, health insurance tax. the net investment tax -- i dont know if youve seen it yet, either of that. this is section 23 -- excuse me -- se...

Correct, is likely going to come out in opposition to this bill. this is going to be a tough squeeze. if i were a betting man -- im not, craig -- i would say this bill needs to be changed in a meaningful way to squeeze it through the chamber. i dont ever count ot mitch mcconnell. >> senator rand paul from kentucky, elises former boss had this exchange with kasie hunt last hour. take a look. take a listen. >> senator, your reaction to the health care bill, are you going to vote for this bill? >> ...

For a few hours. i assume youve had an opportunity to look at at least a summary of it. your initial reaction. >> we have to suit up right now, craig and not sulk over that loss in georgia because people who are going to lose their health care based on this senate plan are counting on us. if donald trump thought that the house bill was mean, its probably mean, and this bill is no better. we have work ahead of us. >> congressman eric swalwell of california, always appreciate you, thank you. >> my...
