Page 3 - Imploding Obamacare News Today

Certain amount of prestige and respect that comes with the presidency. the way he tweets is unbecoming of what the president of the united states means. jesse: i would agree tweeting about a womans face is not good for moving your agenda forward. i think everybody on capitol hill trying to push healthcare reform doesnt want the president of the united states tweeting about someones face. they want him tweeting about repealing and replacing obamacare. the democrats are grasping at straws looking ...

I like the presidents idea. its all based on obamacare. if the thing is repealed and you give 12 months notice, what happens in this country. thats 20 million people who need insurance. they say 20 million people wont have insurance. thats baloney. insurance companies will step in, they will offer basic care, catastrophic care, whatever you want. jesse: the original idea behind obama care they promised to reduce costs and the costs went up. its boeing us to say people are going to lose insurance...

So overly populated that it would tip over and capsize. >> we dont anticipate that. jesse: thats someone saying donald trump is mentally incapacitated saying a few marines on the island of guam would cause the island to capsize. the impeachment thing didnt work, the russia thing didnt work. >> they are showboating. they know the bill isnt going anywhere. its them saying look at us standing up to the president. we have very little time to work on imploding obamacare. its collapsing. how have they...

On premiums. >> i wish i had graphics for you, in 2018 under the new plan, premiums would be 20% higher than under obamacare. by 2019, theyd be 10% higher. by 2020, 30% lower. and by 2026, 20% lower. theres a piece of math you have to understand here, however. the congressional budget office has been calculating the basic obamacare silver package as being a value of 70%. called an actuarial value. what theyre saying is under the new senate program so many things will be taken out like the possib...

Comes to health care has been a man without a plan. >> alex -- hang on. isnt john boehner on to something when he said at the beginning of this debate that once you give someone something its -- i mean, if one person whose kid with asthma loses care thats a political crisis. and in this climate, it seems pretty untenable to drop 22 million people from coverage. >> right, the long term political problem for the republicans right now is that we are going to own the health care system regardless of...

They know how -- >> do you see some of the same -- i remember 2010 and there were grass roots emotions in opposition to obamacare but dont you see a parallel to grass roots opposition now against taking away the care that it provided? >> its easier to be against something than for it. harder to make an argument against it than make the affirmative case for why this is good legislation. we have not heard the affirmative case for why this is better than the status quo. president trump has not give...

>> let me get you in. obamacare was never as popular as it became when republicans started messing with it. >> right. thats because obamacare was there to be a substantive policy. it had a coherent plan. there was a goal. >> was it sustainable? >> yes, absolutely. if we dont have the republicans sabotaging obamacare right now it would be in the peril overstated as that is by them. >> most democrats will admit it needed some tweaks. >> publicly most democrats would admit it. but this is why the c...

>> let me read what i think was the presidents attempt to give some cover im guessing to senate republicans. he tweeted this morning, recommend can senators are working very hard to get their there with no help from the democrats. not easy. perhaps just let o care crash and burn. he seems to be prespinning a predicted defeat. do you think hes bracing himself for this not to work out? >> i think -- i mean, this is something hes said previously for a couple of months now. he said this in the house...
