Fabric of the american health care system. also, once you give people a benefit, something they become accustomed to, the free, not having to pay the premium for your annual checkups, and they didnt want to run on obamacare. that has come to pass, all of that. it is a bit ironic, right? this thing is so embedded in the fabric of our health care system. republicans tried and find, a, they couldnt repeal it because they tried 70 times and b they dont want to. >> good example, social security and m...

And most trump policies are working well, and even in this trump plus 20 district, a democrat appeals poised to pull off an upset in a virtual tide at worst. i will say this about the needle being threaded by conor lamb in this campaign. he was pro-obamacare, or more anti-repeal, but also against single-payer health care and universal health care. spoon part of me one second, i want to go to chris stirewalt, i understand he has some breaking news, what are you hearing, chris? >> they dont need n...

Producers on the show ask every single one of the 217 republicans to justify a vote they cheered for, were proud of it, not one would come on and justify the vote. can you explain why it makes sense to cut a billion dollars out of medicaid to give a tax cut to wealthy and how that is health care reform. >> the first problem is thats not what the bill is doing. the thing thats going on here that people have to focus on, 25 to 27 million americans who buy coverage in the individual market or have ...

Most important popular parts of obamacare like those essential benefits for maternity leave and everything else people really truly cared about, taking pre-existing care to folks who need insurance. then they did that and then they went and voted for something they didnt read. they didnt take a look at, look at new cbo score. then they get on the bus like a bunch of third graders to the white house for a school trip and take a shockingly all white photo-op with the president who has a really low...

What you know of the dccc world? >> i think the party is ready but in many ways the energy right now is outside the party in these movements, the indivisible groups and huddle groups around the country and people are super fired up. the amount of energy weve seen to try to save the affordable care act which is still possible has been incredibly inspiring. but i think the republicans have to realize they didnt just put the seats in congress in play, they actually just turned this no a state issue...
