The white house announced it will end government subsidies for health insurers. That follows a move by the president to bypass obamacare rules and help employers buy cheaper insurance. The government has paid billions to reduces costs for low income americans and the president called that a bailout of Insurance Companies through unlawful payment. Democratic congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi responded in a statement saying, quote, millions of hardworking American Families will suffer just because President Trump wants them to. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. The president is following through on a pledge hes made for a few months now. Reporter good morning. This is something the president has threatened to do several times but each time in the past hes been talked out of it by Republican Leaders who fear that it will drive up premiums or prompt insurers to sue the government. But now that theyve failed to pass an obamacare replacement, it appears that the administration is taking things into its own hands. Ive been saying that, mike, i think youll agree for a long time, let obamacare fail. Reporter President Trump often predicts the laws demise but now hes taking a much more active role in nullifying his predecessors signature achievement. Well let obamacare fail and then the democrats are going to come to us and say, how do we fix it . How do we fix it . Or how do we come up with a new plan. Reporter the administration is eliminating 7 billion in subsidy payments to insurers. That money helps bring down premiums for more than 6 million lowincome americans who are enrolled on obamacares individual market. The Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated ending these subsidies will push you will premiums by about 20 in 2018. And actually add 200 billion to the deficit over ten years. We are moving toward lower costs and more options in the health care market. Reporter on thursday the president also signed an executive order to allow employers to buy low cost insurance plans across state lines. The plans likely wont be required to offer certain standard benefits currently mandated by obamacare. Last night in a joint statement, Democratic Leaders nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer called the elimination of subsidies a spiteful act of vast, pointless sabotage. But Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan praised the decision saying under our constitution, the power of the purse belongs to congress, not the executive branch. Republicans actually fought these subsidies in court a couple of years ago and won. They argued democrats messed up when they wrote the Affordable Care act and failed to give congress the power to actually allocate these funds. Thats why the administration has had to do it, at least until now, charlie. Nancy, President Trump tweeted this morning the democrats obamacare is imploding. Massive subsidy payments to their pet Insurance Companies has stopped. Dems should call me to fix. What is happening next . Where is it all going . Reporter now theyll have to decide whether to pass some kind of measure to keep these payments going. Thats going to look to some of their supporters like theyre propping up a law that they dont like. But their alternative is to run the risk of getting blamed if premiums do go up. Now, the good news for low income americans is that if premiums rise on the exchanges, then their tax credits will rise as well. So they shouldnt be hurt. Thanks. In about 2 1 2 hours around 9 30 pacific President Trump will unveil his strategy for dealing with iran in a white house address. He is expected to decertify iran is complying with the landmark Nuclear Agreement but stopped short of tearing it up. Instead hes expected to give congress the power to reimpose sanctions against iran. Well, we have reaction from tehran but first Margaret Brennan at the white house. Good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump will sanction irans revolutionary guard and say that nuclear deal is no longer in americas best interest. His Top National Security advisers have scrambled to stop him from tearing up that deal and today hell ask congress and the secretary of state to fix it. This is a high stakes gamble aimed at unraveling president obamas signature Foreign Policy achievement. Clearly the president has hes deep in thought to say the least about the way ahead in iran.

We have footprints on the ground, naval and air forces there to demonstrate our resolve, our friendship.

The Iranian Regime supports terrorism and exports violence. Reporter but Trump Administration sources tell cbs news that the president will not deliver on his Campaign Promise to tear up the obama era deal to freeze Irans Nuclear program. Why on earth would anybody have signed a deal like that . Reporter u. S. Intelligence confirms that iran has abided by the terms of the agreement. But today the president will refuse to certify its compliance. Instead hell punt to congress and allow it to decide within 60 days whether to reimpose sanctions on iran. That puts a lot of power in the hands of senators tom cotton and bob corker who setting new goalposts for iran proposing a new law that puts indefinite restrictions on Irans Nuclear program, bolsters inspections and snaps back sanctions if iran comes within a oneyear breakout period of making a nuclear weapon. President trump has asked secretary of state Rex Tillerson to negotiate a second addon nuclear deal, but neither iran nor any of the five partner countries of the u. S. Have agreed to it and privately they accuse President Trump of risking National Security for political gain. Yeah, europe, russia and china monitoring things closely, margaret, thank you. Meantime, leaders in iran are promising a tough response if the u. S. Abandons the deal. Elizabeth palmer is in tehran with how one lawmaker said a u. S. Withdrawal could lead to global chaos. Elizabeth, good morning. Reporter good morning. Everybody in iran is waiting anxiously to hear President Trumps remarks. Already the currency has dived in value in anticipation of aggressive moves from the white house. President rehani the moderate president of iran said if america moves to undermine or pull out of the deal its own credibility will suffer worldwide but its the revolutionary guards who have sounded downright threatening. They know theyll be targeted. Their head said that if there are new sanctions against his organization, then the u. S. Had better move its military bases a thousand miles back from irans borders, in other words, out of missile range. But the bottom line is that iran really needs Foreign Investment to create jobs for its young educated workforce and whatever the white house says is bound to drive that Foreign Investment very far away and its really going to hurt.
