with this executive order americans will likely soon have those options. we will be be happy to provide them to you and you will be very happy, rich, i think you ll be extremely pleased. if not, tell them right now. thank you, leslie, appreciate it. great to see you, thank you very much. in addition, my administration will explore how we can expand something called short term limited duration insurance. these health insurance policies are not subject to any very expansive and expensive obamacare coverage mandates and rules. the cost of the obamacare has been so outrageous it is absolutely destroying everything in its wake. there were so attractive last year the previous administration crippled the market in an effort to keep people from fleeing the failing obamacare plan. in fact, they prevented these plans from lasting more than
another democrat. some democrats are worried this is going to look like single payer versus graham/cassidy, not graham/cassidy versus obamacare. because of bernie sanders. what do you make of it? i think that analysis is very true. look, at the end of the day, when you have bernie sanders, who lost the election, coming out for his plan, for single payer, which the democrats weren t able to get in with the original obamacare plan, it shows that he seems to be out of touch and out of touch with where the senate is trying to go and the country needs to go. because it didn t pass the smell test on the beginning. look, these elections have consequences and the consequences we see now are the republicans are in charge and they re going to do something. graham/cassidy is the best bet to repeal and replace obamacare because we know obamacare is not going to work. but at the end of the day, we have to remember, graham/cassidy is going to be something that is different, that the republicans ca
agreement on whether or not he will be on board? or perhaps john mccain has not decided where he stands on this. governor of arizona is on board. the last time senator mccain said he couldn t get on board because ducey was not on board. that may make a difference. harris: 116-120% rate hikes under the current obamacare plan. there s a bipartisan group. maybe we can pop up that picture. ten governors across the country are fighting this new health care bill. what is their beef? basically they re afraid when things do get kicked back to the state, they re afraid their state might not get as much as they get from the government. you ll see cornhusker style deals like we saw the first time around where every state will start jockeying to be able to go home. lisa murkowsky would love to go back and be able to say this time i got you this.
something that a lot of senators is a very big deal. another key issue here, it gives states the leeway to actually kind of change pre-existing conditions, protections. something that s kind of been a steadfast piece of the obamacare plan. something republicans have been weary of touching. this would open the door to that. top of it it all, this matters for people like defunct planned parenthood for a year. they don t have the votes yet but serious effort something that just a week ago nobody expected. how engaged is president trump in this process for the lobbying for the bill, graham cassidy? the. reporter: the administration has been engaged in a couple of weeks trying to push this forward. and reality is policy a side they know they need to get a win. but whether or not the president steps forwards and trying to use the bully pulpit means an open question. they want him involved but they are not sure what degree. i do know vice president mike
enemies in the white house? he had his concentric circle in the white house. people in the white house like jared kushner and mcmaster, those are the top people. so he s losing these battles on personnel, because the top people were not in his camp ideal logically. then he had the larger republican establishment, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, who he believes did not accept trump s populist, nationalist agenda. that he believed he was the guy that was protecting that agenda from all the people who came into the trump world after the election. and let s be honest, he lost, right? he doesn t believe in the tax cut plan being put forward by the republican party. he wasn t a big believer in the obamacare plan. and to the extent he tried to get it through, he failed. his trade agenda never really got off the ground in the way he wanted. he was against the strike in syria.
