Grown to include 40 . That is unsustainable regardless of your politics, that math is not sustainable and that is the reality crunching these senators who dont want to dial it back even though there is no cutting going on is trying to slow this incredible growth rate that you cant stop. Stuart it is not sustainable, not sustainable. Neil i am worried about your grandkids who wont be able to get access to see you when they are visiting from abroad. Stuart that is the judge. Neil i love the judges laugh. Tell me you are not a little worried about this or maybe welcome it, i have no idea. Those are some screwed up rules, i heard part of what the judge is an, i dont understand why they cut it off with grandparents. I hope the kids can still find a way to sneak in. Stuart s they will. Neil thank you, my friend was a lot going on, the dismantling of medicaid, we will throw it out, lock stock and barrel with the republican plan, nothing is being done of the sort. The fact of the matter is medicaid is still going to grow at a pretty good clip. Called a cut. Well get into that, because it says volumes where this debate is boeing. Were essentially lying about facts and figures. You might be a big fan of medicaid, 4 of the population it was originally aimed. Not 40 of population benefits today. Might welcome that, great program. Many governors, republican, democrat agree. The idea of scaling it back. Scaling its growth back is enough to get these guys saying, all right, be no mas well keep it. Well not let it grow, even to the levels that we were planning. So they want to grow it more, so medicaid will get bigger. This will replace one Big GovernmentHealth Program with a slightly less Big GovernmentHealth Program. At rate were going it will be just as big. They didnt repeal anything. There is a lot going on here. We do know Mitch Mcconnell, the Senate Leader he is very confident a deal can be had, a deal can be done. You heard what Speaker Paul Ryan said they expect this to be wrapped up this summer even though theyre not meeting that many days this summer and get tax reform in the fall. Tax reform contingent getting who to assess it, Washington Examiner, sarah westwood. Where does this stand realistically . A lot of republicans, moderate members of senate, group of nine, not keen on this theyre leery looking like theyre heartless. That is what it comes down to, right . Right. In the president s own words the bill is described as mean. Republicans particularly from states where the governor took Medicaid Expansions of obamacare, worried about effects specifically to their constituents. Talking about senators like rob portman in ohio, dean heller in nevada, where Medicaid Expansion would make effects of cuts, growth of medicaid feel more acute than states where expansion did not take place under the Affordable Care act. So those particular republicans are going to be difficult to get back on board without using some of the money the cbo identified as savings to pad the budget a little bit, maybe soften the cuts. That is the problem the republican senators are facing. Neil sarah, will that be enough . I think youre referring to the 200 billion the cbo reduces benefits from the house plan. c im a little appalled to use that as bribe money to get reluctant on board, whether for Opioid Funding or Something Like that. Seems like a twisted way to get something done. I know how washington works but seems weird. The objections on the other side, conservatives like mike lee, rand paul, they opposed bill because it doesnt do enough to stop the obamacare. They think cuts are superficial to medicaid. They dont think the bill does enough to fully keep the promise on repealing obamacare. You obamacare light, obama 2. 0, the same criticisms we saw in the house. The difficulty from President Trump, hard to reconcile those objections. One from moderate republicans like Susan Collins from maine, who think the bill is mean and other conservatives saying it doesnt go far enough. The middle ground is small there. Neil what is your gut, what is your sources tell you right now as far as getting this resolved this summer . Obviously this last, latest effort to get something introduced tomorrow, that can be scored bit by the cbo. Sense getting bill done back to the cbo, second revised version ever the Senate Health care bill by friday is a little bit of a pipedream. That is a quick turnaround for a bill that needs some significant adjustments. There is optimism among republicans this can get done before august recess when law makers leave washington for five weeks at beginning of august. That is the deadline the white house said they would like to see this on the president s desk by. If they dont have it done by then, by the time they come back to washington, they are consumed by the budget fight, trying to avoid a government shut down. It is important to get things done. That is what all sides say is the drop dead point of health care. Neil Washington Examiner correspondent at white house where everything is going down. Negotiations are going full throttle. The question whether democrats get on board. Take a look. It would be great to find a way to Work Together not make this a political football. It is unfortunate that democrats no interest in solving a problem that they created but republicans are committed to it. We recognize the your again he system we recognize people are looking to us to find relief. Neil do you think the president should be ring leading this effort . Does he want to . What are people saying . Yeah, by having senators over at the white house yesterday, that was amazing. Neil what is the follow through. Lets ask george Georgia Republican congressman ted collins. Good to see you. The irony as you and i discussed in terms of the Senate Measure they didnt really quite prepeel obamacare. They changed it, some funding for it, some of the requirements behind it, but you still have the government actively involved in health care. So they could have gone ahead and told democrats, all right well not repeal this well change it, but were not going to repeal it. This whole battle for votes would be a moot point, right . I think it would at a certain point but you have to understand this is a fundamental question, i talked about this before, when you have states like west virginia, joe manchin, i have a question, if the bill is something you dont want to deal with, explain 160 increase in premiums. For miss missouri, miss mccaskill, explain 140 increase in premiums. Look at iowa. The system is failing. Weve got to look at it. You mentioned even before in this segment, we look ahead at medicaid. This is medicaid issue to start with. This is driver for future debt, future deficit. These are things that have to be dealt with. At bottom line we have to bring in the person forgotten here, the mom, dad, person who needs insurance. We deal a lot with health insurance. What republicans, me myself included are saying health care, not justh1q insurance. Neil congressman, i think what happens when a program gets relied on, they keep raising the income ceiling which you can benefit from it, medicaid comes to mind, it is hard to reverse that. So as more and more people become eligible for medicaid. And then get used to that funding for medicaid, even though now living in nursing homes, what have you you, assisted Living Centers and like, for republicans to talk about changing qualifications or reducing income levels which you get medicaid, good luck for that. What is our other choice, neil . Neil i absolutely hear you. The math doesnt support this continuing but that will be tough because some moderate senators are the first to say, no, no, leave it alone. I guess they shouldnt also ran on repealing and replacing obamacare too. Be honest about promises we made in the last seven years. It takes leadership. Telling American People, not assuming they will not understand, telling them the room issue were trying to deal with. Expansion put ablebodied adults on medicaid system was supposed to be for the poor, needdy, blind. I have a daughter who is disabled, were putting in certain states, adding medicaid to ablebodied adults. These are things that we have to be honest with. Neil youre very good on this issue. Comfortable explaining the big picture stuff. We touched on beginning this was meant for roughly 4 of the poorest population, not 4 . There is no one with ross perot type charts these days doing that. I understand the conundrum you face explaining that in media environment where your view is not the view that the media will want to hear, who is going to do that . Well, i dont know. Neil i start here with myself. I will encourage all our other members we need to go out and fight upon. I believe this is battle worth fighting for. This is what we talked about. Granted in october 2013 landscape changed. When Obamacare Exchanges were put on with the disasterous role youout, people had something they were promised would solve their problems. Look where were at right now. People lost insurance. They couldnt keep doctor they wanted. Were having people having insurance through exchanges the deductible so high they cant pay them. Better yet having insurance no doctor is willing to take them. You talk about cruel reality democrats wont address. Here are realities in district messed over by obamacare failure, what are you willing to do now . Are you standing behind talking point or are you saying yes, this is problem. We need to look at Overall Health of the country, not our specific viewpoints. Neil youre right about that. Republican or democrat, some within has to explain whether you like what were working on or hate what were working on, the math doesnt sustain what either of us are talking about. You have to get on board and come up with ways to fix that or were all in a big fix. Exactly right this is honest discussion. Coming on, talking with you, encouraging others to be part of this. This is something that matters neil my view is youre already geniuses. Theyre just, theyre all mensa material, you know what i mean . We help any way we can, neil. Neil thank you very much, congressman. Very good having you. To the congressmans point, whether you agree or disagree with him. This is battle of math, my friend. Way existing Affordable Care act is working. It is not affordable, increasing numbers behind it look like an act. You have to do something. You might love medicaid. A lot of republican governors do. Its a source of great funding for a lot of good things. A lot of people depend on it. Grown to depend on it. Income levels risen to many more initially intended to be case rely on that. Yanking that away from them. Coming up with new means you slow down coverage for them is not wellreceived. That is is human nature. To get back to what stuart is saying. Taking something away is a whole lot more difficult than getting something period but it is that math, that reality, that it is haunting democrats and republicans right now. Someone has to show a chart. North fatly we have several fortunately, we have several. More after this.

As i have said many times before dhs does not make the laws, congress does and we will enforce laws that are passed by congress and i am offended from this institution exert pressure and threaten me and my officers to ignore the laws they make and i am sworn to uphold. Neil all right. The director there is referring obviously to a bill that was named after 32yearold kate steinle, shot and killed in california couple years ago while a man was in the country illegally. This would represent a crackdown on illegal sanctuary citiesc. It is on the very same day the president s new travel ban goes into effect. It would be a slightly limited travel ban but starts later today, 8 00 p. M. Eastern time, iran, libya, somalia, syria, yemen, anyone coming in from those countries dont have immediate connection, a relative, mother, father, child, or, or, clear business here, or acceptance at a u. S. Accredited college or university, unless you have any of that with you, you have got to turn around. Well see how that goes. Trace he see carrasco latest on all of that an new restrictions. Tracee. Reporter neil, 8 00 p. M. Tonight, well see if this goes a little further than the last time. The state department sent new guidelines of this fiercely debated travel bans for six majority muslim nations, iran, libya, sew maul you yaw sudden dan, syria, yemen. They have to have a relationship with child, mother, daughterinlaw. Fiance, grandparent, grandchildren, uncles, nieces, nephews, brothers and officers in law and any other extended family members will not be considered close phamly under the executive order. Visa applicants from the six countries who can not prove this bonafide relationship will be banned for 90 days. 120 days if you are a refugee from any country. President trump set a 50,000 cap on number of refugees who could resettle in the u. S. Through the end of fiscal year which is september 30th. State department advised the cap could be hit as early as this week. Exceptions to the new restrictions include individuals already secured visas prior to the new guidelines as well as business student, journalist applicants with proper documentation. Or the exceptions could be granted to people with previously established u. S. Contacts n january we saw protests and chaos at airports around the country when the president enacted the travel order the first time around. Once again advocacy groups Like Amnesty International plan to send representatives to u. S. Airports to monitor developments and observe implementation of a ban in case any disputes arise. The Trump Administration has not yet laid out a plan for implementing the order but the department of Homeland Security has said it will provide details very soon. Neil . Neil tracee, thank you, very, very much. One quick look at the market before we head to a break. Gerri willis is coming around on the whole battle for health care packages.
