Will Obamacare News Today

Congre congresses now. president trump has said he will sign it. unfortunately weve seen this movie before where the president commits to signing something important like immigration reform and then changes his mind. i think we should take this particular deal, get it through the senate, hope the president will sign it before christmas and this will be a heck of a holiday gift for thousands of families who will see family members who have served long, long sentences released early. >> a federal ...

Conditions and things in place now? >> this is the opportunity for republicans to show they mean what they say that, they want to protect pre-existing conditions and work to fix parts of the affordable care act. there hasnt been any move in that direction for this congress. its going to be a tough issue for the republicans facing the electorate in 2020. affordable care act, its protections that allow young people under 26 to stay on their parents health care, the closing of the so-called donut h...

Allows them to buy insurance. i would like to have a mandate with a real penalty, but it turns out the -- we sort of over blew how important it was getting people to purchase insurance, and i think the judge misconstrued the ideas we had in 2010 for the situation of 2018. >> the politics in this are fast kwraeuting a -- fascinating, and it changed so much since obamacare was crafted. republicans, so many of them ran on we are going to protect your pre-existing conditions, and now they are faced ...

They now want judges to do things that politics will not permit. >> we have heard a lot of legal analyst, and the doctor said he does not think it will be upheld on appeal, and supreme court ruled obamacare was constitutional, and it was based on the fact that the individual mandate penalty was a tax. now that the tax is gone do you have 100% confidence that this court as currently constituted with gorsuch and kavanaugh will uphold the legal gity of obamacare? >> this is such a crazy legal theor...

What happens after the appeal? will the affordable act, will obamacare survive? joining us now is one of the architects of affordable care act, dr. ezekiel emanuel. i want to try and explain to people exactly what the judge ruled because i think its important. he said since republicans with the tax bill they passed took away the penalty for not having health care, it means there can be no individual mandate, there can be, he says, no requirement that people buy insurance, the individual mandate ...

Care system in the country. a federal judge in texas struck down obamacare, he struck down all of obamacare. now in the short term the ruling does not immediately change coverage, but if it is upheld, millions will lose their health insurance and millions more with pre-existing conditions could not be covered or face sky high premiums, and the president calls it great for our country. >> and we have political analyst, david gregory, and michael summer c michael smerconish and david gregory. to p...

Constitutional, and perhaps with an eye towards the republican party from which he came he is not interested in creating the political problem for republicans that repealing the affordable care act through republican appointees would generate. that said, there are other legal scholars who are kau cautioning, and they are saying it could take a while through the procedural hoops it has to jump to, and by it gets up to the supreme court, you need four cour votes to hear a case and five votes to de...

At certain provisions or get rid of the whole thing. its republicans who are often the ones talking about how we cant have activist judges and we need to defer to the legislative branches. congress had the opportunity to repeal the obamacare and they didnt precisely because politics have changed and they had the blowback that you saw in house races, right? it pertains for obama not being in office anymore and being scapegoated. what republicans are doing are asking the courts to do the dirty wor...
