Secretary rice, this bill, who wins or luszs? >> well, the winners are people who are lerly people healthier. and the losers are people who are poorer. we dont know exactly how much the winners are going to win and the how much the losers are going to lose, because the cbo haept scored yet. but undoubtedly, theres going to be money on the table, and that money is going to go to a tax cut for wealthy individuals and to private corporations. and i use these words, this is morally repugnant. >> bob...

Tonight, the gop health care bill has cleared its first hurdle in congress. the next step obviously a tough sell in the senate. house lawmakers passed the plan to repeal and replace obamacare without waiting for the congressional budget office to score the bill which means no one knows what it will cost or which people will lose their health coverage. back in march, the cbo said the original bill that was introduced would leave 24 million more people uninsured by 2026. joining me now is former l...

Would change. theyre not as generous as they would be structured in the affordable care act. also that money that has been so crucial to the funding and insurance of more than 11 million americans with obamacare. and you also have them charging older enrollees just three times more than younger inreallies. i think this is also a big deal. incrux of this, the willingness to allow states to opt out of price protections for those of with pre-existing conditions. again, this was a late change for th...

To score this. >> well, would i rather have 72 hours, 96 hours to read every page of the bill? yeah, but lets face it it was nancy pelosi who said well read the bill after we pass it when obamacare came to play. >> which they attacked her for. >> democrats are being hypocr e hypocritical when they "you didnt read the bill" well none of them read the bill that transformed one seventh of our economy. but the big debate is a conflict of visions. i was listening to your debate earlier about whether ...

Up all over the country, even for people not in obamacare, that is a problem, but its a problem that is a generic problem right now. we have to get control over those health insurance costs but how can you say obamacare, the affordable care act, was cruel or a burden to people? thats absurd. >> well, let me answer the question, because every promise that barack obama made about obamacare turned out to be a lie. its not true that in many cases you can keep your own hospital and provider and insur...

Aims to do at a much lower cost so its affordable, bob reich and i agree on one thing, that the last 15 years or so the average middle-class worker has not had a pay raise. one of the reasons thats happened is because health care costs are so expensive that any raise that workers would get is going to pay for higher and higher health insurance costs that their employers have to pay. i dont believe, anderson, that obamacare on the current path, is sustainable, youll have tens of millions of peopl...

Politics the procedure even. while there are point in this process where things seemed thafrp cobed together or in the most transparent fashion youve ever seen, there were still dramatic changes here. i want to walk you through starting with the subsidies. this would be a shift. they would change over to refundable tax credits. you would also have a cap on medicaid funding by enrollee. anderson, this is dramatic shift in how medicaid would work. this is something conservatives have been working ...

Moderate republicans this could be problematic but at the same time, we dont know whats going to happen. especially because this is going to go to the senate and toil in the senate and we dont know what will happen. so i think that would be a little more -- i would hold back on that a little bit. >> in 2010 barack obama lost 63 seats in the house and a half dozen seats in the senate. >> after he got obamacare. >> thats what i mean. this could be a problem for republicans. >> we republicans we do...

So were one of those areas where theres almost no competition left because so many of the insurance companies have dropped out of the market. i believe with greater competition, you could cover everybody in this country, anderson. and this is what the republican bill aims to do, and do it at a much lower cost so its affordable to people. the last 15 years or so the average middle class worker has not had a pay raise. and its because healthcare costs or so expensive that any raise workers would g...
