Planned Vote News Today

Now is the secretary of the department of health care and human services, dr. tom price. mr. secretary, appreciate you being with us on a very busy day. >> good morning. >> we are expecting a vote late today on this health care bill. the nbc news count currently is 32 nos among republicans. as you well know, you can only afford 22 and still get this thing passed. what will you tell members of the freedom caucus in the next five, six, seven hours or up until that vote that will change their minds...

House of representatives. im told the votes are nearly there. some soft nos that maybe could be flipped. and the president has told the speaker he wants the vote today. the speaker has told the white house that he would be willing to postpone, if necessary, for a few more hours or even a few more days. but bannon, priebus, and trump are telling everyone this is it. so they could walk, could just be a threat. they have postponed the vote before but what a morning here in washington for the relati...

On. they go into the no column because its a lot easier to explain why you voted against this bill than why you voted for this bill. paul ryan is right. a lot of the republican base, they have been waiting for seven and a half years for republicans to replace, repeal and replace obamacare but they most definitely have not been waiting for this bill. mark halpern, i think that is the mistake that both paul ryan and the trump administration have been making and its a false choice that newt gingric...

From a political point of view and say the people who lost the most who did they vote in and the people who lost the least who did they vote for? turns out the people who lost the most were disproportionately trump voters and this is the margin that trump won among these ko hertz. people lost more than $7,500 trump lost. all of the people who are gainers are all of the people who lost less than a thousand dollars, hillary clinton won by somewhat smaller margins. so ironically, this plan would ac...

This bill takes the most vicious stereo types about conservatives and validates them. a sense how cold hearted it is. then process. there seems to be a duplication of the very mistake that president obama made with obamacare. that seems to suggest that perhaps trump isnt as distinct and unique as he says he is. >> but i think at the point he is at, calling for the vote today is not a stupid thing. i do deals. he does deals. things are getting worse and more numbers coming out that are bad and lo...

And only 17% approve of this plan. a majority of voters 61% also disapprove of the way president trump is handling health care. 20% of voters say the affordable care act should be completely repealed. 50% say only certain parts should be repealed and 27% say left intact. yesterdays much anticipated vote on the republican health care bill was postponed. the latest guidance we are getting it will come today between 4:00 and 5:00 eastern time but who knows, that could change at any moment. the fina...

Biggest lesson in all of your years in washington? he said, sometimes, when you win, you lose. and sometimes when you lose, you win. well, we go back to that day when we reported on the obamacare passage and the celebration by the democrats. its been six years of political hell for them since then, losing over a thousand seats in the house. our a thousand seats across the nation. and this is actually, willie, if it goes down, this vote is the easiest vote ever for the house members to explain wh...

Move forward with passing it on the house floor. >> mark, congressman meadows is the subject in the freedom caucus, is the subject of a scathing editorial in todays "the wall street journal," the freedom for -- from reality caucus. but, yesterday, in speaking with the member of the white house staff, ilves told that this bill that is going to be voted on today has now come down within the white house, within the oval office, to a kill paul ryan bill. because the president has never trusted paul ...

Entirety of his statement. >> for seven and a half years, we have been promising the american people that we will repeal and replace this broken law because its collapsing and its failing families and, tomorrow, we are proceeding. >> do you have the votes? do you have the votes? >> speaker! >> do you have the votes? >> that was that. the white house source tells nbc news the president would not see a failed vote as a failure on his part. ther, ote, people in congress breaking their promises to t...
