America great again ♪ >> estopped payihe stopped payi mortgage to follow the trump campaign. he lost his 24-year-old son rob to a heroin overdose in 2014. he supported the trump plan for addiction treatment now he feels president trump is going back on his promises by supporting a republican health care bill that does not address it. craig moss joins me now. first off, mr. moss, as ive told you before, my deepest condolences to you and yours for the loss of your son. i cant imagine the pain bu...

They had to pull the bill? one would think that they have left it all on the field at this point, everything that could be offered has been offered other than rewriting the bill. >> reporter: it would certainly seem that way. i mean, the white house has said, look, were not going to make any changes at this point. but legislation as you know, jake, always changes. but the hazard in all of this is you do not want to be the last member to sign onto something like this. you can talk to senators, ho...

The other members that may have one or two concerns. i have people in my district, jake, that are paying astronomical premiums for their insurance, $20,000 a year for a family of four. they have a $6,000 deductible and theyre still paying hundreds of dollars in copays. those people dont go to the doctor any more. when the cbo report came out, they said in ten years there is going to be a 10% decrease in premiums, that means these families ten years from now are going to be paying $18,000 instead...

Often. >> if youre a normal republican youre heaving a big sigh of relief. maybe they can do tax cuts a month from now. >> democrats say that obamacare, which was signed into law seven years ago today, that president obama was able to go to democrats, people forget. they had to round up votes. there was the corn hus kerr and kickback and all the rest. this is why were here in washington. this will provide insurance to more people. lets do this. i know its risky, et cetera, but the argument for r...

Vote. its at another time way he could go. i dont think he has that idea logical bond. obama was elected with representing the vision of the democratic party and trump is elected with several different visions of the republican party no one could agree on what they are. >> i think there are two ways you can get votes at the very end. you one is this is why we were sent here, reagan tax cuts, obamacare, health care for everyone. we know youre risking your seat, but this is what it means to be a d...

Like those folks i just told you about who are paying those premiums. but the solution isnt in this bill. so, my hope would be that we go back to the drawing board and take our time. we dont want to be accused of what the democrats were accused of when they passed obamacare not knowing whats in it until it was passed like nancy pelosi said. theres no reason to rush through it. i would rather get it right than get it done fast. >> congressman dan don open van representing parts of brooklyn and st...

Bill. maybe well have to swallow hard to pass this thing. ryan, he submitted a bill he thought would be compliant with senate rules, but hes asking them to cast their hardest vote in advance without any evidence that a better bill couldnt come from the senate. thats what i think the house could have done, pass a good bill from the knous, let the senate parliamentian do her will, let them filibuster, three months from now, this could go to september 30th under the first reconciliation. you know, ...

White house that health care costs and premiums would go down if they got this piece of paper. would that be enough to get them on board? >> reporter: it doesnt seem like either of those things will be enough. this is an important point to make. what was put on the table last night was a major shift from both the white house and house leadership. the idea that they would be willing to repeal the essential health care benefits inside obamacare, that was something they didnt think they could do pr...

Climb hour by hour. and i anticipate that we will get there. i like the direction this thing is going. i think we continue to see support for this. we are not seeing people fall off or seeing people come on board. thats a great trajectory to have and so i like where were headed. >> reporter: well, the hazards of any whip count there, theyre always fluid, but this more fluid than most. simply sean spicer after saying that about an hour later or so, this vote was put on hold, jake. but then we saw...

And i can say with all the freedom caucus, they are really trying to get to yes. thats why we met for such a long time. it was at times a, not contentious, but i would say very rigorous debate. >> what changed between last night and right now in terms of your support and the freedom caucus? >> i think what changed between last night and today was the fact that the president has made some very good faith and good will gestures to try to move the ball along. and its certainly having an impact. ive...
