Texas and rand paul of kentucky, two of the five republicans who say they oppose the bill in its current form because it doesnt go far enough to repeal obamacare in their view. I want to go straight to cnn white house correspondent, athena jones. Senator mccon cell givinell is m a handful of days and even less time to consider once the report comes out. What is trump now saying about this bill . Reporter this is interesting, ana. As you said, there is enough opposition to effectively kill this bill and thats why its important to take place behind the scenes and see if they can get it past the finish line and more concern that moderate senators have brought up about people being left behind by this bill in particular due to the cuts to medicaid that are proposed in this bill, well, secretary price insists that people arent going to be left behind in the end. Listen. The plan that we have would put in place would not allow individuals to fall through the cracks and we would not pull the rug out from anybody and we would not have individuals lose coverage that they want for themselves and for their family. We want to make certain that healthcare is available to all americans. You heard price echoing this effort. We should be looking at this in a more comprehensive way that the senate bill is one step in a process. Secretary price has argued that the department of health and Human Services can make Administrative Changes that would help bring down costs and premiums and make sure people are covered and the bottom line is that the cbo and the Congressional Budget Office cant score these kind of future hopes that price is talking about and these future steps he plans to make when it comes to administrative steps and so that is why when you saw the cbo score and the house version they found that millions and millions and millions would lose coverage and theyre likely to find something similar with the senate bill. Because the senate bill is similar to the health bill. The president has been personally calling some of those republican senators who have expressed concerns about the bill. What more can you tell us about that. I asked White House Press secretary sean spicer, what is the argument that the president is making to these senators . Is he getting into the nitty gritty and into policy details . We heard when he was trying to woo house members that he wasnt able to talk about individual concerns when it comes to nittygritty policy details. I was told that the president s argument is the argument weve seen on twitter and elsewhere which is that obamacare is dead. There is no other alternative and this is the time and the last best chance to comply with the promise that republicans have been making for years now ever since this bill was signeded into law in 2010 republicans have been vowing to repeal and replace it and that is part of the argument that the president is likely to make to the senators that hes talking to and calling them was a Koch Brothers event and talked to Senate Whip John Cornyn who acknowledged it was going to be close and i talked to a senior white house official who said it was going to be a rocky week and a lot to walk for. Athena jones, on top of it. And lets talk about the race to repeal obamacare. Joining us, senior reporter, and stephen colinson and how many people could lose insurance and highway much this plan could cost americans and are the numbers expected to be better than what he saw with the house bill . We dont expect them to be substantially different because the bill and there are changes to the house bill and it doesnt appear to be substantially different and it was such a big deal when the cbo issued the house bill because it came out and said 23 million few americans over the last decade would have Health Insurance under the replacement for obamacare than under obamacare and not have big reverberations in the National Debate about this bill. We dont know exactly what it will cost and who it will pay with the big differences in cost between the two bills, but a cnn analysis of the senate bill suggests that younger, healthier americans are likely to get the Price Reductions in the Health Policy simply because they could possibly be allowed to buy policies that cover fewer contingencies and older, sicker americans could well have higher deductibles and higher premiums and pay more for out of pocket costs and then there are the wealthiest americans who could pay for extra tax to subsidize obamacare subsidies. Teyll get a tax cut. There are clear winners and losers and the question is how many people lose out because of the end to the medicare expansion and Medicaid Expansion which allowed many lowincome americans to get health care and opponents of the bill say many will fall through the gaps because of the senate bill. The cbo score impacts the bills chances of getting those 52 senators to say yes or at least 50 senators to vote for it. Lets add more voices to the mix and turn to russia now. Cnn National Security analyst sean turner. Hes also the former director of communications for u. S. National intelligence and jack barski, a former kgb agent and author of deep undercover, my secret life and tangled allegiances as a kgb spy in america. Listen to what President Trump has said just this morning with friends over on fox news. I just heard today that obama heard about russia before the election and he did nothing about it, but nobody wants to talk about that. If he had the information why didnt he do something about it . He should have done something about it. 17 intelligence agencies concluded before election day that russia was interfering and thencandidate trump refused to believe them. As someone formerly with national intelligence, sean, does it bother you that the president is now acknowledging russias role and painting it as if he just found out. Ana, thanks for having me. First of all, this response by the president seems disingenuous. 17 agencies concluded prior to the president being elected that russia had interfered in this election. The president had been briefed on this once he became the candidate. So the idea that the president was not aware is something that i think we should all be concerned about, but here ate more important issue, ana. President obama was measured and cautious and deliberative when it came to dealing with National Security issues. Whether you believe he did the right thing and not taking more substantive action and determining that politics were too much of a factor, that could be debated, but this issue with russia today is this president s issue. So the real question isnt why didnt president obama do more . That will be debated and historians will examine that and the real question is what is President Trump going to do today to address the fact that russia, a Foreign Government and an adversary of the United States interfered in one of our most fundamental and foundational processes, the electoral process and thats the real question we should be asking. Jack, you are obviously well versed in russian espionage. Is Vladimir Putin surprised that president obama didnt do more . No, hes not, and by the way, we dont know what president obama did or did not do. Trust me, that american intelligence is well ahead of the game here. We dont talk about this stuff. We have Cyber Capabilities that i guarantee you outpace what the russians have and the thing about doing something about a particular hack, you cant put up a wall and say dont hack anymore and youll have to launch a counterattack and obama determined that wasnt the right thing to do. Its not the time. He did respond and we know what he did as far as the retaliation and it came in december. He had the sanctions and got rid of people from the compounds that were here, but jack, the report in the Washington Post, for russias election meddling, would americans be surprised to see just how many russian spies are actually in the u. S. . Yes and no. You have to assume that fundamentally almost every diplomat has some kind of connection to russian intelligence. So that would be a big surprise to Many Americans who still think the game is played by certain rules and the russians dont play by the rules and never have. I dont think there are that many illegals and you have a spy next door and it was probably more the exception than the rule and not quite as dramatic as we envisioned and stephen, bee accusi accusing president obama not doing nufr, is President Trump inviting or exposing himself to criticism of how little he has done to respond to russias election meddling himself. Think you can argue that this is a strategy to deflect away from questions of what the president himself plans to do about this. He has said back in january that he believes the russians were responsible for this, a fact that sean spicer, the white house spokesman referred to last week and he has tried to blur the issue, and i think thats one of the things that the president was doing over the last few days. Its interesting that whenever this issue is brought up, the white house sees this in a very political way. They equate the whole idea that the election was meddled in by the russians with some attempt to delegitimize President Trumps victory and theyre exceedingly sensitive about that and weve seen that from the president himself. So i think thats one of the reasons why they are less willing to talk about what they might do about it in many ways the vacuum has been filled with key figures on capitol hill. Theyre still pending in the house and it will be interesting to see what the White House Position is on those, but its clearly the president s clearly trying to deflect with his tweets and what he said on fox today from his own sort of responsibility to do more to defend the u. S. Elections. Weve heard of a number of meetings and talks between Trump Campaign and russian officials over the last few months. Are those meetings more concerning now that the president acknowledges russia interfered in the election . I think when you look at those meetings in the aggregate and the fact that all of the other facts that have come out with russia and interactions between Campaign Officials and russian officials, whether or not they are more concerned or should be more concerning is, to be quite honest, its still to be determined. I mean, we said prior to the election that it was want unusual for Campaign Officials to occasionally meet with counterparts from other countries to establish relationships and to begin a dialogue, but in this case, the question that were all wondering is whether or not those interactions went too far. Whether or not there were deals made and whether or not there was some element of governing or attempting to govern prior to the administration coming back in. Its a question that the special investigator will get to the bottom of and its one we all need to have an answer to. U. S. Intelligence agencies had sourcing deep inside the russian government capturing putins direct instructions and the operation to damage clintons chances of winning and to help elect trump. The report called the intelligence on putin extraordinary. What is putins reaction to be knowing how much was exposed about his direct role . First, you have to question the Washington Post sources, and we have a source deep in the kremlin and that source will be so well protected that no journalist has access to it. I would be cautious with the credibility of that article and im not going to go any further than that. Do you think its possible that somebody inside and close to the kremlin would be sharing information or that it could get out or do you think it would be captured through some kind of surveillance . Nothing is impossible, but i believe its very unlikely. The russian government is extremely well protective and so has been the soviet union and this is a closs society compared to hours and its a source somewhere in the white house than in the kremlin.

They want to get a healthcare bill through the senate before the fourth of july vacation and with the number of senators still firmly against them that time line might not cut it. A governor who ran for president last year, he hates the new bill. He says both parties are missing the point. Both parties ought to be worrieded about poor people because i dont think either party particularly cares about helping poor people. You look at the rates of poverty and look at the problems in this country, and we have not designed the system to get people work. Everything were talking about now, getting people healthy and getting them health care is designed to get them to work. I want to bring in cnn contributor and author j. D. Vance. You just heard Governor John Kasich there say that Neither Party particularly cares about poor people. His words, is he right . Unfortunately, i think that he is right. At least hes right in this way. I think a lot of people are well intentioned on both the left and the right and unfortunately, there arent a lot of people willing to do the hard thinking necessary to figure out what it is to do to help poor people and thats one of the reasons that poverty rates and the indicators that we see among the poor and like addiction death rights and Life Expectancy are going in the wrong direction not just over the past eight years and the past 16 years and some of these trends have been going in the wrong direction for 30 or 40 years. Under the health care plan, we could see the entire Medicaid Program as we know it change drastically. Bottom line, states are going to be getting a small share of money from the government and a lot say they dont have the funds to make up the difference. John kasich some of them. 70 million americans depend on medicaid and low income, children, the disabled and elderly, how might this one part of the senate plan impact trumps base . Well, the most obvious way that it will impact trumps base and a lot of other folks, quite frankly is when you dont have enough money to support the Medicaid Program, and eventually you have to cut reimbursement rates which means that a lot of people will have less access to their doctors and less access to the care they depend on. Its important to note that i think there are very real criticisms to be levied against the program and as it exists, but to fix that problem, you have to fundamentally spend money and you can spend money in the marketplace and spend it on medicaid, but unfortunately, the choices that this Republican Health
