Conservative who is worry that the medicate expansion in obamacare will only make it a permanent entitlement program? >> thats a good point. and i think they have gone -- they have doubled down on medicaid. republicans for a while in the congress have been really fundamentally opposed to the 50-year-old partnership with states and the federal government about medicate, a health safety net. they not only in this bill go after the expanded population, which is actually much cheaper to insure in me...

At this bill that with less money going to subsidies, th older americans beinable to be charged five times what younger americans are being charged, and with no variation based on income that more people will have coverage. theres every estimation that anywhere from 2 million to 15 million people will lose coverage in this bill and there are going after medicaid expansion which is a lot of lower income, working adults who will also lose that coverage. >> what do you say to conservatives who worr...

White house and we plan that is being put forward. of course it is no surprise given his heartless mocking of a disabled reporter during the campaign that he -- >> can you put the point forward. >> this would disproportionately affect the disabled company. up to 10 million disabled americans will lose health insurance. but there are some things in this bill that are really just mind-boggling.why are you looking to get incentives to companies that pay the city is more than $500,000? incentivizing...

>> i think once our plan is fully implemented, americans will have access to affordable health care that dont have it today. so, you can look at numbers, but there are millions of americans that have a health insurance card, but dont have the ability to use it for their family. and ive got examples all throughout my district just like so many of my colleagues. so, the card is not whats important. its can you actually use it. if i give you the keys to a car, you have a car, but if theres no engin...

This is the new entitlement program and its just bad all around. i mean, there are a few good things about it. we shouldnt replace one entitlement program with another. its not a republican conservative bill. >> sandra: okay. so is it off the cuff remark, is that something youre walking back at this point, to be clear? >> no. its still a stinking pile of garbage. >> sandra: all right. so lets get into the details of this. there are many provisions you say to this bill that you find objectionable...

Will affect them. what is it, do you think? >> if you look at entitlement programs, once you give the american people entitlement program and try to take it away, that creates all kinds of fear. so we are seeing something similar with social security and medicare now with obamacare. >> okay, aaron blake in washington, thank you. theres no doubt that senator lindsey graham has been one of the presidents most vocal critics vowing to take on russia for meddling in the election and promised to get...

Going to repeal it. we didnt not tell them were going to repeal it and keep some taxes, we didnt tell the voters were diagnose going to start new entitlement program with a advance fancy name. we told them we were going to repeal and replace it that would bring down the cost of healthcare. bringing down the cost of premiums. >> when you didnt have the white house you could pass it over and over. how many times did you vote to repeal, about 60 times. if you had to straight up and down vote could ...

We all agree on repeal, i guess replacement does the disagreement in the republican party. >> sean: what i dont want to see is an intramural civil war with republicans over the bill. the big criticism is its not a full repeal and that its a new entitlement program. one of the freedom caucus members told me today as they would rather block grant any money for the uninsured back to the states. would that be something you would be open to? >> let me make clear that this single bill is not the entir...

Handle that? and, so, we had amendments looking at dr. rand pauls bill to make sure that we can supply some money, at least seed money to make sure that we do that. but to do a new entitlement program, do i have a problem with that when indeed its not even means tested? if youre a certain age, you get it. it does have a cap on it and thats an improvement. i would acknowledge that. but really right now what were looking at is my big concern is will it drive down insurance premiums and the analysi...

This bill addresses just that by providing access to care and affordable coverage that individuals need. we all agree on repeal, i guess replacement does the disagreement in the republican party. what i dont see >> sean: what o see is an intramural civil war about republicans over the bill. the big criticism is its not a full repeal and that its a new entitlement program. one of the freedom caucus members told me today as they would rather block grant any money for the uninsured back to the stat...
