President in a room having private conversations. but, clearly, the president has other plans, at least today. >> they wouldnt be the only people suggesting the president stay off twitter right now. speaking of twitter, kelsey to you in conclusion. these latest tweets and back and forth tweets with joe and mika on "morning joe." any effect on their willingness to get on board with this administration on any of its policy plans going forward? >> no, it wont. i think they see the president as the ...

And benefits are being taken away? so isnt this really just a take away? >> not at all. okay? and one of the flaws of the scoring on the cbo, on this, when you look at the number of people, is that, again, theres a lot of people. when given the option, will decide not to elect to take this health care because its a bad deal. that doesnt mean people are losing health care. i think everybody knows obamacare was just a giant tax hike on the economy. it slowed down the economy. its another reason wh...

And fleischer earlier today. heres one of the flaws in that proposal. what if theres a terrorist attack? what if theres a hurricane? what if theres an earthquake and theres a need for a live briefing here at the white house to talk about whats going on in the country? those kinds of occasions do arise as you remember with ferguson. can you imagine if we did not have live briefings at the white house during ferguson for example? the question becomes does the white house control the switch? do the...

Away? >> not at all. one of the flaws of the scoring on the cbo on this when you look at the number of people is that, again, theres a lot of people -- when given the option -- will decide not to elect to take this healthcare because its a bad deal. that doesnt mean people are losing healthcare. everybody knows obamacare was just a giant tax hike on the economy. it slowed down the economy. its another reason why weve continued to have sub2% growth for the last 8 years. this administrations 100% ...

Cameras and for a while there, they didnt want the audio played, either. so theres a different objective here. >> well, what they could do is just answer the questions. go ahead, jim. >> can i bring up a question about this, also? i saw this proposal from mccurry and fleischer earlier today. heres one of the flaws in that proposal. what if theres a terrorist attack? what if theres a hurricane? what if theres an earthquake? and theres a need for a live briefing here at the white house to talk abo...

Harder. >> i can put all this together and getting to 50 it will be tough and the cbo score doesnt help any. if you had problems with the deal before you probably have more problems now. >> reporter: a white house official conceding to cnn republicans are right on the threshold of losing the heal care battle. >> the report makes clear trumpcare would be a cancer on the american health care system. >> reporter: four gop senators are currently planning to vote against even starting debate on the s...

About 30%. by 2026, about 20%. but the rationale for that is, changing the types of coverage that these plans would allow. which, again, on the regulatory side is what conservatives want to do, but the cbo making clear, some individuals, lower income individuals, would possibly lose coverage or be priced out all together. there are a lot of problems with this report, anderson. throws a bill that senate leaders still want to try to finish by the end of this week in major flux. >> whats the reacti...

Expectations that the cbo made that turned out not to be correct. overall, they ended up projecting the number of uninsured roughly about right, but a lot more people signed up for medicaid than had been initially anticipated. >> two very differing takes on the affordable care act. one from president trump, basically let this thing crash and burn. another from susan collins. a moderate senator. she sent out this tweet last night, "i want to work with my gop and dem colleagues to fix the flaws in...

After yesterdays cbo concluded that 22 million fewer americans will be ensured under the new bill. republican senator susan collins tweeted, i want to work with my gop and dem colleagues to fix the flaws in aca. cbo analysis shows the senate bill wont do it. i vote no on mtp. one of her democratic colleagues joins me now. senator ed markey of the state of delaware. senator, have you spoken to susan collins or any other republicans on trying to come up with a bipartisan solution? >> well, right n...
