Some bracing for changes to a republican Healthcare Bill that is just barely a day old. Its headed to the senate, as you know. The Deputy Press Secretary said the president expects changes, but wants the main pillars to remain the same. Some republican senators have announced theyre not going to support the measure without major adjustments. As we watched on fox news, the white house celebrated with a News Conference at the rose garden. The house passed the measure 217 to 213. Somebody noticed cases of beer being wheeled out through the hall. No some say it could get bumpy. Lamar alexander said well be writing our own bill. The senate could use the house
measure as a resource for ideas. Moderate republican senators have criticized one of the major provisions for rolling back the expansion under obamacare. Conservative senators say it doesnt go far much the to replace obamacare. So it works this way. The house passed it, the senate will do its own dance. If changes are made, it goes back to the house for approval. The president declared victory on twitter today. Big win in the house, very exciting. When everything comes together with phase two, well truly have great healthcare. Last night hours after the vote, he said this is a great plan that is a repeal and replace of obamacare, make no mistake about it. John roberts is live for us outside the white house. Obviously. Good to see you, john. Good to see you, harris. Theres a phase 3 the president didnt talk about in the tweet. Hes trying to take this a bite at a time. He got phase 1 through the house and now looking at phase 2 and needs to get phase 1 through the senate. As you pointed out, yesterday was about the celebration. This is where the process is going next. The president optimistic that he can get this thing through the senate. The big question is, what is it going to look like when it eventually gets through the senate. Theres some people on the republican side saying, you know what . I like what the house did. But were going to do our own bill and start from scratch on all of that. At the briefing a short time ago, i asked the Principal Deputy who made her debut. Lets listen in. On the process of getting the American Healthcare act through the senate, theres some talk they may have to go back to the drawing board. Its a heavy left getting the hda through the house. Does the president expect the process in the senate could be even more difficult . I think that the one thing that you can be sure of is to never underestimate this president. Hes shown time and time again
when hes committed to something, its going to get done. Hes made no secret. Hes committed to reforming the healthcare system. Youll see that process take place. The main pillar that Sarah Huckabee sanders was talking about, quality healthcare, access to healthcare and a lower price and more consistencconsis. People are waiting to see in the next phase, the idea of going across state lines for your healthcare. Well watch for that. What did the white house have to say about how the bill handles people with preexisting conditions . This is a big question that a lot of critics have. The way its crafted, it allows states to seek a waiver from the mandates of essential healthnd conditions. The president has said on repeated occasions that it absolutely has to cover preexisting conditions to people that already have an illness have to have access to healthcare. Thats one of the reasons why
fred upton of michigan and billy long of missouri came to the white house the other day, because they shared the same concerns. They came up with the plan that would designate a pot of money towards premium support for people with preexisting conditions. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on that point. One of the biggest priorities of this bill particularly for the president was ensuring that people with preexisting conditions were protected. The final bill added an additional 8 billion to go a step further. The big question is whether or not 8 billion is enough to cover all the people that had preexisting conditions. The white house suggesting, harris, the number of people that go into premium support could be very small compared to the overall population. You know what . I want you to stay where you are. We want more from john roberts. The Labor Department says the jobless rate hit the lowest point in a decade last month. The feds say unemployment was 4. 4 in april. Im working with john thune on an amendment to address that right now. Medicaid, we have to make sure it works for the states that took the expansion. Ohio senator rob portman not pulling any punches saying he has serious issues with the house bill. He said i already made clear i dont support the bill as constructed because i cant to have concerns that this bill doesnt do enough to protect ohios Medicaid Expansion population and those Receiving Treatment for heroin and Prescription Drug abuse. Theres 52 republicans in the senate. Portman and just about everybody else is really important, harris. The American Public that voted like single issue on this is kind of anticipating that this is how it works, right . They go around around make some changes. People are not talking about are the democrats and all of the bipartisanship that they talked
about was possible in all of this. It will be im curious to see how it works out. What is next in the senate . Bottom line, those that have been talking about healthcare, im told theyve talked for months on the senate side and what theyll do when they get a bill from the house of representatives. Those involved in the talks say theyre looking forward to getting cracking. Well move ahead with deliberate speed. Were doing that because exchanges are collapsing and people could be without insurance, premiums go up if we dont act. But we want to get it right. Theres no artificial deadlines. Well carefully consider the legislation passed by the house. We heard about democrats talking about improving obamacare. Some democrats said theyre willing to talk with republicans about improvement if not quite repeal and replacement of obamacare. Its important to get it into the senate. If we take healthcare seriously, well put the bill in the
fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Numero uno when i went on to ancestry, i just put in the name yes, we are twins. Of my parents and my grandparents.

They anticipate in washington, theyll go back and forth with
changes. I want your view on what people should be bracing for or ready for. Well, theres going to be winners and losers. Lets make it clear at the start. This is assuming that the house bill becomes the law. It wont become the law as you just reported. There will be changes in the senate. Assuming what was passed by the house yesterday became the law, there would be winners and losers. Young Healthy People would be better off. Their premiums would go down. Older people, their premiums would go up. People with preexisting conditions, its not clear. They would have more to worry about than under obamacare, whether it was a flat regulation, you could not charge people with preexisting conditions any more than people that did have the conditions. Harris i asked our team here to get a list. This will vary by state. Lupus, alcohol abuse, alzheimers, arthritis. The list is long in preexisting conditions and could vary by states for the reasons that you spoke of. A last word on that and then well move on. A lot we dont know in this in the house bill because of the fact that some states would decide to live by the federal mandates that will continue to ban any discrimination against people with preexisting conditions. But theres state waivers. If states can justified to the federal government, they can drop out of a lot of these things, preexisting conditions, essential health benefits. Theres this insurance mandate under obamacare that everything from Mental Health to maternity care, all have to be covered in every insurance policy. If states decide to take the waiver, they can say well take this part of the essential benefits and drop them. And an Insurance Company in oklahoma can say were not going to live by the essential benefits in oklahoma. Were going to take the
essential benefits in arizona. So it really is going to be a very different and much more checkered Playing Field than what you have under obamacare. Harris sure. Then you have the players like rand paul, the senators, ted cruz that said you have to repeal it all and start over. You have mayor key people that we need to watch. You have Lisa Murkowski of alaska that doesnt like the medicaid point. Lets talk about the six or seven senators to keep our eye on and what were watching for. On the one hand, you have the hardliners. Rand paul, ted cruz, mike lee. They were quiet yesterday. They didnt say it doesnt go far enough. In the past they have said they dont want Government Regulation of healthcare. Even with this bill, with all the changes, repeal and replace, a lot of Government Regulation of healthcare. So it will be interesting to see how far theyre willing to go or are they going to push for more. On the other hand, you have more moderate people, like Lisa Murkowski of alaska. Harris susan collins. Shes another one. Yeah. Particularly in states that agreed to the Medicaid Expansion, which meant that people that previously havent been covered by medicaid now were because they were above an income level. Theyre worried Medicaid Expansion will be rolled back if the house bill becomes law and they have hundreds of thousands of constituents in their states that have Healthcare Coverage under obamacare that would lose it with the roll back of Medicaid Expansion. Theyre not going to want to see that happen. That really gets tough. That is one of the things that absolutely had to happen in the house. Remember, whatever the senate comes back with and dramatically different than the house, then they have to find a way to reconcile in a Conference Committee the Senate Version and the house version. As we saw the house version, which is more conservative than
the Senate Version, it passed with one vote. Anything to change the bill changes the Balance Of Power in the house. Harris so those are potentially republicans on the bubble. What about democrats . Anybody that could be pulled over . Theres some that are talking about it. John tesser of montana, some of the conservative democrats, particularly those that are facing reelection in states that donald trump won facing reelection in 2018 in the midterms. I have to tell you, theres not been a democrat so far that has gone with this. Yes, i understand that its hard to oppose President Trump in a state that he carried if youre a democrat. On the other hand, its hard to go something called Obamacare Repeal and replace if youre a democrat. Youll lose a lot of your own voters in your state. Harris while you were talking, President Trump tweeted this out. Of course the australians have better healthcare than we do. Everybody does. Obamacare is date but healthcare will soon be great. This has just gone out. Weve been keeping up with him, as we all do. Especially on a friday afternoon after his Deputy Press Secretary has spoken to the media. We get new information. I want the get your response to that before i let you go. Yeah, well, what this is about is that yesterday in his meeting with the australian prime minister, the president said well, i have to admit you have better Health Insurance now than we do. He went on to say but ours will get better after this repeal and replace. The key there, this is what people like Bernie Sanders noted, the australian plan is single payer like in britain and canada. While the president and his people are saying, he was being polite to the prime minister, theyre saying, well, yeah, Single Player governmentrun healthcare is better than any system than well have under Obamacare Repeal and replace. Harris democrats are saying, wait, did you say single payer . Around and around we go. Chris wallace, i know what im doing. Im watching you. Thank you. Chris will have the latest on the Healthcare Battle OnFox News Sunday with reince priebus. Thats sunday on your local fox broadcast station.
