We need to slow down and get it right. Like mom used to say, you rush and you make mistakes. Democrats are going to continue in their headlong rush to pass a government takeover of health care. From where i stand and frankly Many Republican senators stand who are troubled by the pace is of concern. We should have had more time to digest it. I guess history has a funny way of repeating itself. What a difference eight years doesnt make. Republicans today sounding a lot like republicans back in 2009 on Health Care Reform. Only this time, they are battling themselves. Can President Trump and House Speaker paul ryan bring their own party on board . This as one new report says at least 15 Million People, joe, will lose their Health Care Coverage under the new gop plan. This morning, we are going to speak live with the u. S. Secretary of health and Human Services dr. Tom price. Plus, the man responsible for whipping votes in the house, Republican Congressman Steve Scalise and congressman tim
chronic lying coming from the president of the united states is not impacting your children every day. then you re just a fool. and you haven t raised children and you haven t been through what mika and i went through and what every other parent went through with our children in the age of bill clinton. that example matters. the example the president matters so get your damn tax cuts, okay? get your damn regulatory ref, but while you re getting that, talk to your children and let them know that it is not right to denigrate america for the benefit of vladimir putin. it is not right to lie when telling the truth would be easier. it is not right to abuse absolutely everyone who doesn t agree with you. and if you don t want to do that, don t do that but you re the one that is going to be dealing with your kid the rest of your life. joe, that is one of the most important things that has been said in a long time.
and dropped it on the country and got killed, frankly, by it. what is so striking to me about the republican plan is for eight years, they have been saying obamacare just doesn t work. but, suddenly, they have a plan that they have could belbbled t in a hurry and don t have their troops in line. that is striking to me. i ve been talking with the people who met with president trump behind closed doors. these are major health care executives and others. they were quite surprised he was not very familiar at all with the cost structure, with the payment programs that they go through, how medicare is used. i think we need to have a lot more public discussion before this gets jammed through. it doesn t mean that obamacare is perfect by any means. i think that it works for the people from the bottom up, but after that, there are a lot of loose ends that need to be cleaned up. but the final thing is for a of the tlk about getting the budget back in balance, they are going to jam this through b

president trump tweeted this, quote, health care is coming along great and predicted it will end in, quote, a beautiful picture. joe, a lot to digest there. you have all of these different factions within the republican party but the democrats decide with specific complaints the ones we heard there and add in as well the senators from states that accepted medicaid expansion as part of obamacare and don t want to see that changed. paul ryan out there. again, you got the white house that is asking the question, why is it that paul ryan is getting incoming from all sides of his own members? they are wondering why this wasn t talked through, while the debating and the sparring didn t take place behind closed doors. certainly what i heard yesterday. but donnie deutsche, the ghost of same rayburn has to be scratching his noggin right now going, wait? you go out and you hold a press
