Page 9 - Replacement Plan News Today

I checked the constitution. here is the thing, john. when i watched the beginning of this week and i would tweet to the president to make sure he is clear on this. you saw 43 votes for a replacement plan that added medicaid dollars, tried to get more regulations to appeal to moderates and conservatives. you saw 45 for repeal only. >> david, great to have you here with us. thanks so much for your analysis, sir. >> thank you. minutes from now, minority leader, nancy pelosi speaks after republica...

Replacement plan. this is key, because this is going to be a vote that is likely to fail, because this is not something a lot of the moderates in the republican conference in the senate are eager to support to get out there and just vote for repeal only without a replacement plan. and this is going to be the moment where mitch mcconnell then can go back to the conservatives, if it does indeed fail and say, that repeal only doesnt work so now we got to move on to the next step, which is what you ...

Malveaux live on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning, chris. senate republicans obviously achieving a victory, important legislative victory, but the challenge of uniting the party around replacing and repealing obamacare very illusive. the first proposal offering $100 billion in medicaid to satisfy the moderates and bear bones insurance plans to satisfy the conservatives, well, it went down in flames. the republican effort to broker an agreement on health care suffering its first setback wi...

Replacement plan, nine republicans voting against the measure. the senate expected to take up today senator rand pauls proposal to repeal obamacare with the delay on the replacement plan for two years, a measure the cbo estimates will leave 32 million more americans uninsured and is also expected to fail. >> this is just the beginning. were not out here to spike the football. this is just a long way, well finish at the end of the week hopefully. >> the senate with a tie-breaking vote with vice p...

Went against us, which is very sad, i think. its very, very sad for them. >> sandra: what can we expect next? mike emanuel standing by come alive from capitol hill. we will get to that vote as soon as we see it happening, but in the meantime, what should we expect? >> now its a struggle to see what the senate is able to pass and it is not going to be easy. the senate is expected to vote on an amendment from kentucky senator, rand paul, really, any time. it would be a straight repeal of obamacare...

Yesterday they could only get 50 votes. so the only way you can get 60 yays. theyll have this procedural vote in the next few amendments. it was supposed to happen at 11:30 a.m. the hyde amendment will not likely be tacked on to this. the second vote is a straight repeal of obamacare. this is akin to the 2015 repeal bill. it also includes the two year window for lawmakers to come up with a replacement plan. that has a different scenario to it here. still not what theyre calling the skinny repeal...

Countless times. second, and you guys never talk about this, our repeal bill says its not effective until december 31st, 2018. if it were passed today and president trump would sign it tomorrow, theres a year and a half before it takes effect. thats time for what i just described, people to come together and put together a replacement plan that will bring down premiums, which have risen dramatically under obamacare, and if you can pay your premium, can you afford the four, six, eight thousand do...

Repeal and replace. they just didnt have the votes. it happened last night. they announced that they were not going to support this latest version of obamacare repeal and replace. just moments to go on the senate floor, the senate majority leader said this. >> at their cost of their president and vice president, and after consulting with our members, will have the bill on the motion to proceed early next week. >> thats just repeal, but there are three senators now who are firmly against voting j...

You push that back and say were going to start it in 2020, two years from now or two years from whenever this deal gets done, right out of the gate you lose 17 million people who are not covered. and thats in part because the individual mandate would go away. that gets some healthy people then stop buying insurance. that cranks the pleem yums up for other people who now cant afford it. so this cbo report paints a pretty bleek picture of something that even the most conservative republicans say w...

Learned today is that mitch mcconnell in fact wanted to proceed. it is a little bit complicated with senate rules here. but essentially if they want to vote on health care this week, they would have had to do it this morning. that was mitch mcconnells original plan until we heard him go to the floor late yesterday and say, look, i talked to the president, i talked to the vice president, and so were going to do this vote early next week. and then here you have, you see it there, the members of th...
