Replacement Package News Today

To go on. and i agree with the president saying that this is an opportunity for the next speaker and mitch mcconnell to step up and get it done on a bipartisan basis. gillian: i want to make sure we get everything in here. one last quick question on health care, is there a sense among your colleagues of disappointment now they werent able to get repeal and/or replace done and now a judge steps in to legislate on health care which should be the prerogative of the congress? >> of course there was ...

President trumps plan. take a look at the recent fox news polling we got this week, it tells us that 33% of americans who were polled are supportive of the way the presidents handling health care, but 56% disapprove. its quite a wide margin. where do you suspect the gap is here, and what is-- even republicans that arent supporting the president tack on this. >> i think we need to do better when it comes to health care. i was disappointed we were not able to pass through the house and senate a re...

What has a chance in the senate? >> reporter: well, we have a couple of different options, but one of them is what -- has kind of been called the skinny repeal on capitol hill and what that would do is just repeal a couple of aspects of obamacare. its possible that they could create some sort of a rescue package for the next year for the exchanges that would allow them to be stronger for next year and that could be considered a replacement package. its really unclear at this point. we have a lot...

Force them to the table. that would require under the calculation the white house is making repealing obamacare with the two-year sunset. effectively people would be able to keep their coverage for two years and the white house calculation, a number of officials believe, would be to put the pressure on democrats to come to the table and to negotiate on a replacement package. when you talk to democrats and im sure kasie has had a number of conversations to this effect, they are not showing any in...

Senators who fall into this category, you voted to repeal obamacare in 2015, explain to your constituents why he wont do it again. the vice president was speaking just a short time ago and said they need to get on this, inaction is not a option. youll hear this refrain, hang on, the 2015 but was merely a shell vote. we knew the president obama was going to sign it, but the white house is going to make the case. wait a second, you are voting for something you know what it happened in 2015, but no...

Reforms, allowing people to have access to their money that theyve earned through employment and working and thats why were rewarding work with reforms like that, i think its going to be a critical piece of the replacement package and making sure medicaid is there for those that dont have the resources. so to me, this is a commonsense, reasonable approach to repeal obamacare which i support and move to more people empowered health care going forward. >> but what about people who start a job and ...
