This is something that is workable. Reporter the amendment would allow states to opt out of obamacares minimum coverage requirements, which could lead to cheaper premiums for the healthy but would let insurers raise rates on those with with preexisting conditions. States that opt out would have to establish special highrisk pools for people who get priced out of the market. They work. And now that were going to be adding federal funding to it theyll work even better and youll be able to lower prices even more. Reporter so can you reassure people with preexisting conditions that they wont be worse off under your plan . People will be better off with preexisting conditions under our plan. Reporter democratic leader Chuck Schumer. Go look at these highrisk pools. Theyve closed down in state after state. They are usually so, so expensive that no one can afford health care. Its a fig leaf. Reporter Republican Leaders have not given up hope entirely that they might be able to pass this new Health Care Bill by the weekend, but at this point, scott, there are still too many members of their own party who are either undecided or oppose it.

Today United Airlines reached a settlement with dr. David dao, who was violently dragged off a plane in chicago. The amount is confidential. Daos lawyer wrote, dr. Dao has become the unintended champion for the adoption of changes which will certainly help improve the lives of literally millions of travelers. Don dahler reports changes are coming. Oh, my god. [ screaming ] reporter the video of dr. David dao being forcibly removed from united flight 3411 outraged millions and sent the nations fourth Largest Airline into a popularity plummet. United Ceo Oscar Munoz acknowledged the Public Relations crisis today and promised changes. It happened because policies were placed ahead of our shared values and procedures got in the way of what we know is right. Reporter the airline announced ten new Customer Service policies, including compensating passengers up to 10,000 for taking a later flight, using Law Enforcement officers only for safety or security issues, and additional employee training. That issue came again under the microscope with two other recent incidents. You stay out of this Reporter Video of a Heated Exchange with an american Flight Attendant went viral. And just wednesday delta kicked a man off a flight when he used the restroom when the plane was delayed on the runway. Sarah nelson is president of the association of Flight Attendants. Flight attendants are trained to deescalate conflict every single day, and actually that has become a big part of our job, now that planes are packed. Oh, my god reporter airlines involuntarily bumping seated passengers like dr. Dao is rare but not illegal. However, Congress Might change that, with not one but two bills being proposed to outlaw the practice. Some airlines arent waiting. Southwest announced today it will no longer overbook flights. United and american will also cease involuntary bumping seated passengers unless safety or security is at risk. United will now also require employees who are traveling to check in at least an hour ahead of their flights. That could lessen the need for passengers to give up their seats. Scott, the officers involved in the dr. Dao incident have been placed on leave. Don dahler, thanks. Coming up next, fatter dummies to protect fatter americans.

And more than 1 in 3 is obese. Well, that means crash test dummies need some serious body work. And heres kris van cleave. Reporter the test dummy has been used in crash after crash. For nearly 50 years this 59, 170pound dummy has been the standard. Safety features, the airbags, and most importantly the seat belts are designed around those dummies. Reporter but with americans getting taller, fatter, and older, changes are needed according to dr. Stewart wang from the university of michigans International Center for automotive medicine. Heavier people seem to get much more severe lower extremity injuries. Its pretty easy to tell which is the new big dummy. Yes, our obese dummy. Reporter Christopher Oconnor runes humeetics, the leading maker of crash test dummies. He says this new dummy, about 100 pounds heavier and four inches taller, is more like a real modernday driver. We have found that obese people, elderly people, people who dont fit that exact size and shape are more at risk in a vehicle now. Reporter do they need to switch to a larger dummy as the standard . So i dont think one replaces the other. Auto safety is based on what we measure. We need to have a test device that reflects that growing population change. Reporter with nearly 20 of drivers over 65, oconnor and dr. Wang are also developing a crash dummy to replicate an elderly, more fragile body. Unfortunately, the older population is four to eight times more likely to sustain chest injuries than a younger individual. Reporter while it will take years to get regulatory approval, car makers are already giving this big guy a test run to see if a bigger dummy means better safety.

Welcome to the overnight news. Im tony dokoupil. More trouble for disgraced former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. He was already under investigation by congress and the Justice Department over his financial dealings with Foreign Governments. Now the pentagon has launched a probe of its own. Jeff pegues reports. We have no evidence, not a sled, that he disclosed his payments. Reporter elijah cummings, the top democrat on the House Oversight committee, said the documents released today showed retired Lieutenant GeneralMichael Flynn may have broken the law by making a 2015 trip to moscow where he was paid nearly 34,000 to speak and was photographed at a dinner with russian president vladimir putin. The first document, a letter from october 2014, was sent from the Defense Intelligence agency, or d. I. A. , to flynn shortly before his military retirement. It informed flynn, who once ran the d. I. A. , that the receipt of consulting fees from a Foreign Government was prohibited without advance approval. The pentagons warning to general flynn was bold, italicized, and could not have been clearer. Reporter but the second letter from the d. I. A. To the House Committee said it found no record of flynn seeking permission. In a Statement Today flynns attorney insisted flynn gave documents to the d. I. A. And briefed the agency both before and after the trip. Flynn is also offering to testify in exchange for immunity. But so far congress has not called him. Flynn was fired as President Trumps National Security adviser after just 24 days for lying to the Vice President about his contacts with Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. The Vice President was also in charge of the trump transition and would have overseen the vetting of general flynn. Today White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer brushed off questions about the thoroughness of that process. But all of that clearance was made by the obama during the Obama Administration and apparently with knowledge of the trip that he took. Reporter as National Security adviser flynn had access to the countrys most sensitive secrets, which is one reason why congress is so concerned. The failure to disclose the foreign payments could result in up to five years in prison. Midnight tonight marks the start of President Trumps 100th day in office. Its also the deadline for him to sign a stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government open. But that bill may never reach the president s desk. Dpmz are threatening to skutdll the measure if Republicans Press ahead with their plan for another vote to repeal the Affordable Care act. Nancy cordes has the latest on the health care debate. Reporter conservative members always felt that the gop plan left too many of obamacares minimum coverage requirements in place, requirements they believe drive up premiums. Well, theres a new compromise that they support, and that is a big breakthrough, except that some moderates think it makes the bill worse. Certainly now were down to days, not weeks. Reporter after weeks of negotiations, members of the conservative Freedom Caucus say they are finally ready to vote yes. Were supportive of the macarthur amendment in the underlying bill as its coming forth. Reporter virginias dave brat is one member who came around. None of us are going to be totally happy. Im a free market guy. Theres better ways to move on some of this stuff, but we want the momentum to go forward, tax reform, getting the budget through and all that. Reporter this is what got him there. A new amendment allowing states to eliminate some of obamacares patient protections, including one that prevents insurers from jacking up rates for people with preexisting conditions. Those states would be given some funds to set up highrisk pools, to help cover those who would no longer be able to afford insurance. This is a different twist and ive got to reexamine it. Reporter the twist meant to appease conservatives is turning off some moderates. You have to help those people that were harmed by the Affordable Care act but at the sam time not harm the people that were helped by it. We need to take a step back. Reporter Pennsylvania Republican charlie dent has always been a no and believes this amendment violates one of the partys promises. Well, it could affect people with preexisting conditions. And itll make insurance probably much more expensive for them and in some cases perhaps inaccessible. Reporter the question is how many members will it affect . Gop leaders still arent sure. Could we see a vote on health care this week or next . Well see. Well vote on it when we get the votes. Another Sticking Point for several republicans i spoke to is a provision in this new plan that keeps those obamacare protections in place for members of congress and their aides. The authors say its in there for technical reasons but they know how it looks and theyre going to try to figure out a way to work around it. President trumps plan to overhaul the u. S. Tax code continues to leave members of congress guessing, guessing how its going to be paid for. One estimate has the price tag at 7 trillion. And thats got some deficit hawks in the gop sounding the alarm. Margaret brennan crunches the numbers. Reporter while the u. S. Has the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world and the biggest cuts in the president s plan go to Large Companies and businesses like his own, but it remains unclear how the administration will pay for a plan estimated to reduce tax revenue by 7 trillion over a decade. Going to put people back to work. Reporter President Trump said his Tax Blueprint will unleash economic growth. We will have a massive tax cut for businesses. Reporter treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin argued that slashing the Corporate Tax rate from 35 down to 15 will give businesses extra cash to hire and spend. This is not just about large corporations. Small and mediumsized businesses will be eligible for the business rate as well. Reporter that may help bring investment back to the u. S. , according to Maya Mcguinness of the Nonpartisan Committee for a responsible federal budget. This is a very aggressive, very significant Corporate Tax rate cut. And i think it would have huge effects on our competitiveness. Reporter Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer dismissed it as a giveaway to the wealthy. They dont need another huge tax break while middleclass americans and those struggling to get there need help just staying afloat. Reporter details are expected by august. And white house economic adviser gary cohn could not yet say how much of a tax break lower and middleclass
