one senator urged his colleagues to get on board. >> there is no free lunch and you are not going to get one with this bill. there are trade-offs. is it better than the affordable care act? clearly the answer is yes. >> president trump is defending bill cassidy writing: "senator bill cassidy is a class act who really cares about people and their health care, he doesn't lie. just wants to help people!" cassidy defended the bill today. >> president trump tweeted last night he will not sign legislation unless it protects those with pre-existing conditions. >> there is also the ongoing war of words between cassidy and jimmy kimmel. >> i get it. i don't understand because i am a talk show host. help me out. which part? cutting $243 billion from federal health care assistance. >> jimmy doesn't understand not because he's a talk show host but because we've never spoken.
