Force them to the table. that would require under the calculation the white house is making repealing obamacare with the two-year sunset. effectively people would be able to keep their coverage for two years and the white house calculation, a number of officials believe, would be to put the pressure on democrats to come to the table and to negotiate on a replacement package. when you talk to democrats and im sure kasie has had a number of conversations to this effect, they are not showing any in...

Now, majority leader mitch mcconnell is indicating that he wants to still hold a vote on straight obamacare repeal this week. even knowing that it might fail. president trump responding to the collapse in congress this afternoon. >> let obamacare fail, it will be a lot easier. i think were probably in that position where it will just let it fail. were not going to own it. im not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. well let obamacare fail and then the democrat...

>> what are those fixes that you have offered, senator? >> sure. weve talked about making sure that payments are paid to the market so that it is secure. and this president has said he will have lawsuits not make the payments, hes making in a uncertainty in the market create problems. we have talked about offering public options in places where there arent enough options for people to buy insurance. that will help bring the cost down to american families. we are more than willing to debate all o...

Deductibles across the board reform. and at this point, hopefully democrats will see how bad the system is and come to the table. >> what specifically is going to happen to bring them back to the table? i mean youre saying its unsustainable, it cant be supported. >> i would think those things alone should wake up democrats and make them want to come to the table. again, im not going to speak for the breaking point of democrats. i cant imagine that as we continue down this road they dont come t...

When we finally get a chance to repeal and replace they dont take advantage of it. let obamacare fail. it will be a lot easier. i think were probably in that position where well just let obamacare fail. were not going to own it. i am not going to own it. i can tell you the republicans are not going to own it. >> trump made those comments after three republican senators came out and said they oppose the latest senate plan. keep in mind, the house has voted more than 50 times to repeal obamacare, ...

Mitch mcconnell right now. >> kristen welker, i was stunned by the presidents comments. obviously, when you talk about health care, theres a political consideration, but i have never heard an american president reduce health care policy-making to just the crass political, bare-knuckles aspect of it. the fact that obamacare is now more popular than the senate republican bill is in part his fault. he could have helped to make the senate bill more popular, but he trashed the house bill. he said the...

By some republicans. new york republican congressman tom reed a member of the ways and means committee. good to see you. how disappointd are you and whats next? you have to take a deep breath. theyll have to do something. ill take a leadership role and try to reach across the aisle because obamacare is collapsing. >> we could go into that argument about whether or not obamacare is indeed collapsing when you see the numbers of people who are now covered, how hospitals now have a much lower number...

Its already failing. if you look at the raw numbers there are still millions of americans relying on obamacare. so i think thats where politically this gets very difficult. if not for the messaging, which you raise. and all of this may underscore the fact that this is a president who, by his own admission, is new to washington and ledge latigislating. >> let me put up the presidents tweet this morning. he says republicans should repeal failing obamacare now and work on a new health care plan tha...
