That the republicans have to do something with health care. theyve got to achieve these cost cuts in order to move on to what a lot of people think is a bigger priority and thats tax reform. >> that is right, some of the savings they would apply to tax reform would be gotten from the obamacare replacement. that is why democrats are so furious about this. they say its essentially a tax cut veiled as a health care reform package. so this could be a domino, essentially, to trumps entire agenda if h...

And you never had speaker ryan talking at this point about potentially compromising with democrats. and you have so many members now speaking out like pat toomey saying that you know look we acknowledge that -- actually we never thought trump would get electsed we were caught flat footed weve been just opposing obamacare all this time but didnt have enough time to put together a plan. lets go back to the drawing board. whether that looks like something that compromise withes democrats or another...

Savings they would apply to tax reform would have been gotten from the obamacare replacement. that is why democrats are so furious about this. they say its essentially a tax cut veiled as a health care reform package. so this could be a domino, essentially, to trumps entire agenda if he cannot get it done. not only because it would demoralize his party, but like you say, the cost-saving benefits. i actually think it may not happen just because the senate is such a different chamber than the hous...

The issue is of course the republicans have to do something with health care. theyve got to achieve these cost cuts in order to move on to what a lot of people think is a bigger priority thats tax reform. >> thats right. a lot of the savings -- some of the savings they would apply to tax reform would be gotten from the obamacare replacement. thats why democrats are so furious about this because any say its essentially a tax cut veiled at a health care reform package. this could be a domino essen...

It costs $500. i can buy a bottle as a veterinarian. it has 60 doses in there and can legally dispense that to a client for their pet and make $18.50. theres no reason the american people have to pay 450 to $700 for that product and thats a function of the pharmacies and the insurance companies. thats wrong and thats what drives up health care where people cant afford it. >> thats one of the things, as you know, that drives up health care. >> it really is. >> i want to play a piece of audio here...

Ban, but the sticking point isnt the semantics but the rollout. here is what speaker of the house paul ryan said. >> i think there was regrettable to see some confusion, nobody wanted to see people with green cards get caught up with all of this, so it was confusing but going forward im confident that secretary is going to make sure they get a good review, and get this program up and running with the kind of standards we all want to see. >> resa, it is so nice to have you on and we played speake...

>> the first step to a stronger medicare is to repeal obama care because it represents the worst of both worlds. i had a feeling there would be mixed reaction, so let me get into it. >> i dont know if thats a mixed reaction so much as a negative one. hows this for a mixed reaction? thats ryan talking, and these are all the people walking out of his speech. theyre voting with their feet. heres a hint. they are not winning on medicare. theyre losing on it. in key states, president obama leads on t...

The presidents plans for health care and medicare with the romney/ryan plans. of course iowa has one of the highest senior populations in the country. lets listen for a little bit here. >> handed a bill for a trillion dollars that year, the debt that was inherited and the economic recession kicked in. they didnt tell you any of that. but what they really didnt tell you, is again, theyre not on the level about this debt. let me explain what i mean by that. there were a number -- you may remember ...

were talking about on wealthy americans. some of the taxes we have talked about before, limiting those itemized deductions that the wealthy take. closing loopholes on hedge fund managers, oil and gas companies, corporate jet owners and also letting the bush era tax cuts for the wealthiest americans expire when they are set to. also a little more than $1 trillion in war savings. of course, we do know that the wars in afghanistan and iraq are already going to be winding down. and thats s...

Sincere at all. >> frankly, a lot of people around me get the feeling that these folks will say anything to just get elected. >> thats the real reaction ryan got when he pushed his medicare plan to seniors at the aarp back in september. in fact, they even walked out on him. see, thats ryan talking. and those are folks voting with their feet. ryans policies have been rejected again and again. isnt it about time he and the republicans got the message and found the new plan with some fairness in it...
