Republicans could pass this bill, flaws and all, and then use the projected cost savings for a tax reform thats actually organized around tax cuts, a larger earned income tax credit and other measures that would make up for the thinking of working class coverage with more cash in paychecks and bank accounts. if that happens i will recant my opposition to this bill, but i dont expect any such recantation to be required because the republican party remains what it is. lonnie, from the beginning of...

Medicaid, not to touch medicare. thats what i dont understand completely the disconnect between what the president thinks of this and where republican leaders are. it just does not seem to me this is a bill that this president ran on in 2016. >> its not. you can go down the list of the promises donald trump made, and its just objectively you can line them up here and everything he promised to voters in wisconsin, michigan, ohio, and pennsylvania hes violated with these bills. and on top of that,...

They have him on camera saying it. >> and, elise, again, he was bragging about it. its mean. those are my words. >> well, he knows in his heart he has to know this is not a populous bill. its influenced by the tax cuts theyre giving for their big donors. hes just governing like yet another big government republican. >> that he is. all right. majority leader mitch mcconnell says he hopes it to pass thank you the vote on health care. at the moment five senate republicans have said they just cant b...

Bill. were expecting their report out today. one wonders how much pressure does it take? a lot to be seen out of this bill. >> you look at republicans in blue states that -- ron johnson in wisconsin, surprising he won this past time. you look in pennsylvania, republicans held on in pennsylvanias well. rob portman, in ohio. these are states that turned in part because you had same people voting for barack obama that voted for donald trump these times. these are the people impacted if this medicai...
