Nancy pelosi doesnt have many moderate democrats anymore. one of the things that they had, one of the reasons the democrats have the house back in 2006 and 2008, they had these blue dog democrats. moderate democrats, role ohio and rural iowa, minnesota. republicans basically took all of those seats. now, if you look at the democratic caucus, it is very urban, it is very liberal, it is very coastal. not many people in the middle of the country. so they people who might be willing to work with con...

Beginning, let obamacare implode, then deal. watch. this is from the president in the last few minutes. we saw senator john mccain giving the decisive "no." a lot is being said about john mccain. how do you think this will go down within the republican party? how will president trump see this? >> i think its spectacular. mccain really got the final finger. he finally was able to really get all the anger that hes had all these years. hes a very angry man. hes well known for that. he really stuck ...

Cant have everything. boy, oh, boy. i said from the beginning, let obamacare implode and then do it. i turned out to be right. let obamacare implode. >> what does it actually mean to let obamacare implode? >> it means that millions of people could suffer in order to get a political advantage. to me the events of the last couple days have a clear message, and that is there has to be a new accountability from both political parties to produce real results. that means policies that hold down our pr...

The unfathomable situation of tom price, secretary of hhs and president trump will have to administer the affordable care act. >> so john heilemann, take this wherever you want to go. its kind of stunning, it seems in the past 24 to 48 hours, a lot of different angles, the president is getting the word no, no, mr. mr. president. people are pushing back. people with power. >> its a great setback to his agenda, his possibility of the getting things done the rest of the year. this is a much larger ...

Individual market. premiums are forecasted go up and have gone up. if you ask why, a lot of it is due to the uncertainty going on in these buildings and what the administration is going to try to strengthen our health care system. third, dive into the substance of the challenges, particularly around prescription drug costs and a huge priority has to be a mental and behavioral health overhaul. its filling our criminal justice program. and when were suffering from an opioid epidemic, locking peopl...
