Alaska, pennsylvania, missouri and didnt mention ohio. what will happen in your state if repeal and replace goes through? >> there are areas where its not working like it should and we need to fix those problems. and high-risk areas where insurance company cant make money, we were trying to help insurance companies stay in those areas to cover people so wed give insurance companys payments otherwise those people wouldnt get any health insurance. republicans are unwinding that so the insurance co...

Hurting americans. he pointsed to alaska, to missouri it, pennsylvania. he did not mention ohio. why do you think that is? and what will happen in your state if repeal or replace goes through. >> well, there are areas where its not working like it should. and we need to fix those problems in high risk areas where insurance companies cant make money. we were actually trying to help insurance companies stay in those areas to cover people so we would give insurance companies payments. otherwise, th...

Affordable care act. we want to do it. were willing to do it, but we have a republican senate right now that has said that theyre just going to forge ahead, just bull doze ahead on a bill. what theyre doing, what you saw today and what youre going to see over the next few days, don, is a senate that is flying by the seat of their senate pants. they are doing these amendments, but they dont even have a bill to amend. they dont know where theyre going to end up, when theyre going to end up, how th...

Party and the other party, we must do better. we must work together. we must get back to regular order. and yes, i voted for this bill, but im not going to vote for it in the way that it stands right now. the power of a man who is making this huge sacrifice -- >> forgive me, forgive me. were going to pull away from you. heres the president of the united states. >> truly great health care for the american people. we look forward to that. this was a big step. i want to thank senator john mccain. v...

And the people are sick of it. and were going to come up with a great health care that satisfies the needs of the people that we serve, which is the people of the united states. i will say, and i said it right at the beginning, health care is always difficult, because you have to weed a very, very narrow path, like a quarter of an inch wide, right down the middle, and if you go a little bit too far right, you lose three people on the left. and if you go a little bit too far left, you lose five p...

>> so we have two republicans that went against us, which is very sad, i think. its very, very sad for them. >> neil: all right. the president obviously very concerned about those two no votes he got from republicans. the only two no votes, lisa murkowski and susan collins. the message the president saying, hes very disappointed. ohio republican congressman, jim jordan. i guess thats the message the president will send for anyone who makes life difficult for getting an event youll measure that w...

It cannot add to the deficit. you dont have the usual free wheeling unlimited debate, unlimited amendment process under reconciliation. this is the all way this gambet that republicans used to get this across the floor. i should note something from a historical standpoint, if you dont mind, shep, this is the same trick that democrats used in 2010 to pass the final version of obamacare. they lost unexpected the massachusetts senate seat and went down to 59 votes add had to go to 51. >> shepard: t...

To do today with senators murkowski and collins voting no is to get 50 votes on the motion 0 to proceed. theyre dancing on the head of a needle here and get vice president pence to break the tie. >> shepard: in the next couple weeks, debates will be offered. amendments can be offered by anyone and the republicans have to keep the 50 votes and the one from the vice president to be able to not repeal obamacare because this would be a defunding of obamacare. nevertheless, the structure would remain...

This should be fascinating. >> please, im very happy to announce that with zero of the democrats votes, the motion to proceed on healthcare has just passed. now we move forward towards truly great healthcare for the american people. we look forward to that. this was a big step. i want to thank senator john mccain, very brave man. he made a tough trip to get here and vote. so we want to thank senator mccain and all of the republicans. we passed it without one democrat vote. its a shame, but thats...

To be included to earn my support for final passage of any bill. i know many of you will have to see the bill changed substantially for you to support it. we tried to do this by coming up with a proposal behind closed doors, in consultation with the administration. then springing it on skeptical members, trying to convince them that its better than nothing, that its better than nothing. asking us to swallow our doubts and force it past a unified opposition. i dont think thats going to work in th...
