Reading Obamacare News Today

Before they bring new bills to the floor. why it came on the floor wn itdize did, would be a question in the place of leadership. but im happy to do this. its been a long time coming. what were told is it was this or nothing, and its now or never. if you want proof the aca was broken. beyond iowa losing all their providers, follow the money and look at ed nuand anthem who had in the years following the affordable care act 160%, 170% gains in stock. that was the dark field made by the obama admin...

First, i dont follow linda graham on twitter. >> that doesnt actually surprise me. >> with all due respect to senator gram, we had plenty of time to review this bill. because while the compopant parts they filtered over time, they were all there. and our end goal was to redice premiums, reduce dedoubles. the affordable care act paradigm, the last cbo scoring was a false one when they said 24 million americans lose coverage. we saw a story that the average dedouble for a family of four is 4, 6, $...

Hardship under the affordable care act. we done know how many millions are going to lose their health insurance now. those, subsidies, by the way, kept up with increases in premiums. health insurance costs are going up all over the country even for people gnat are not in obamacare. it is generic problem right now. how can you possibly say that obamacare, the affordable care act was actually was cruel or a burden to people? that is absurd. >> well, let me answer the question. because every promis...

Insurance, thats a big -- >> steve, let me ask you -- steve, is it right that republicans voted for this in many cases without actually reading it? >> well, look, would i rather have 72 hour, 96 hours to read every page of the bill, yeah, but lets face it, anderson. it was nancy pelosiy said well read the bill after we passed with obamacare. so democrats are being a little hypocritical there. well, i think the big debate here is a conflict of vigs about just listening to your debate earlier, and...

Twitter. >> that doesnt surprise me. >> with all due respect to senator graham, we had plenty of time to review this bill because the component parts, while they filtered out over time, were all there. and, again, our end goal was to vote for a product that would reduce premiums, reduce deductibles, the affordable care act paradigm has been a false one. the last cbo scoring was a false one when they said 24 million americans lose coverage. again, we saw news stories a month ago that said two-thi...

To take advantage of this offer on a volvo s90, visit your local dealer. as we said the gop healthcare bill that the house passed today now goes to the senate where it faces an even steeper hurdle and scrutiny. it passed without an actual cost estimate in direct contrast, i should say, to what paul ryan was calling for back in 2009. listen to what he said back then. >> i dont think we should pass bills that we havent read that we know dont know what they cost. we shouldnt rush this thing throu...

Would be structured in the affordable care act. there would also be an end to the extra medicaid expansion money thats been so crucial to the funding or insurance of more than 11 million americans through obamacare. you would also have an end to the limits of insurers charging older enrollees just three times more than younger enrollees. this is an age band issue which is a big deal and i think the crux of all of this, what weve seen over the course of the last week that has kind of changed the ...

Much, much worse. >> as embarrasses as it is, you can quote paul ryan who dont know the cbo score and voted for a piece of legislation. >> they said now is the moment they had to close this deal. this is what they campaigned on. >> yeah, youre going to recess, taxes are in june, a lot of folks are cutting taxes, working on a healthcare bill. so yeah, time was of the essence here. i think the mentality is every day were close door the calender of 2018, it becomes harder to deal with healthcare. i...

Thats in their dna, cutting taxes so time was of the essence. the mentality was every day were closer to calendar year 2018 it becomes harder to deal with health care and we have to get it done now. ill be candid. a lot of members of congress on the republican side, they want to declare victory, they want to go home and tell their base we repeal and replaced obamacare. are they going to do just that? perhaps not but they want to sell that back home. and this is why. midterms are so much about th...

Just that, perhaps not. but they want to be able to sell that back home. and this is why. mid-terms is based on the own enthusiasm of your voters. after seven years of voting to repeal it, they would have had a heck of a -- >> are they excited to be about their mid-terms that this is going to hurt republicans and theyre going to run on this? >> i think its immature. at the same time, we dont really know whats going to happen. especially if this is going to the senate or -- >> we have no idea. >>...
