and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. republican leaders are preparing to vote on a health care plan that would leave that's of people without coverage and cost the poor and he hadderly even more in the face of the trump budget to slash programs to help middle and class americans. sister simone campbell has been on a mission. she has spent her life fighting for health care and legal aid. i said, you might recall her from that nuns on the bus tour that made a whole lot of news a few years ago. >> an honor to be with you. >> i'm going to put this on tht screen. i want to start by reading this list of ten commandments. for health care, that you and your colleagues at the network have come up with. you can follow along. this is what we suggest we ought to be seeing in whatever herring bi , whatever health care bill comes. thou shall provide insurance to all tunneled affordable care act. commandment number two. thou shall allow parents to cover their children on their insurance. and insurance premiums and cost sharing are truly affordable to all number four. thou shalt expand medicare to better serve people in our nation. thou shalt not undercut the that you recall of medicaid, and medicare funding. create accountability for insurance companies and not allow they will to have annual or lifetime caps on expenditures. number seven. shall not allow insurance companies to discriminate against those with pre existing conditions. and number eight, not allow companies to skril night against women, the elderly and people in poverty. number nine, thou shalt provide insurance for peel enrolling and using insurance. and number ten, to ensure reasonable revenue is in the federal budget to pay for life sustaining health care for all. amen. the ten commandments. how many of these are likely to make it into what is coming in the next few days? >> i have to say the entire list is missing from the health care plan that speaker rhino ovyan - >> all ten. >> the only one is that children under the age of 26 can stay on their parents' plan if their parents can afford it. the challenges, all the cuts mean that most people won't be able to afford their care. >> how tragic then do you think that what we're about to receive will be? >> oh, tavis, i can't tell you the tragedies that are waiting to happen. most people don't know that the elderly nursing home, that is paid for by medicaid. what will happen is the cuts proposed to medicaid, either they'll be out on the street or in untold agony. where will they go? people don't know, the special olympians that we you a love, 98% use medicaid as life support, life sustaining health care. and their families depend on it. so the suffering about to come if this bill passes is historic. >> so donald trump made a campaign promise which doesn't skews it. he made campaign promise that would repeal obamacare. so he is trying honor the campaign promise he made to those who believe in him. that's different than paul ryan. you're a catholic. >> i'm a catholic. >> paul ryan is a catholic. >> last i heard of. >> how do you think that a fellow catholic is leading the xharnlg does not include any of those commands? >> the only way i can explain it is he does not know the lived experience of our people. >> but he traveled the country. he had his own listening tour. he talked about he met people, he saw them where they are. i would never push back on you but i'm having a hard time accepting that. he did a tour of his own. >> he did a tour of his own but he is very socially awkward. and he didn't have anyone with him to buffer that. so some of the stories i heard, he was in one african-american church in cleveland. and what did he do? he sat flonlt rront row as good catholic. he didn't talk to anybody but he says i was there. he doesn't know. we got a call from one of our members. gerald mcgrath. he is a dad. his daughter is a down syndrome kid who depends on medicaid. and joe called in tears saying, what was going to happen to his mora if she gets pushed off medicaid? because she depends on that for a life line for survival. for training and for being able to be a productive member of our society to the extent that she can be. the challenge is, when i have talked on speaker ryan, not recently but before, i would lift these up. he would say they're not the targets my program. but they'll be his victims. >> who is the target. >> money. dollar signs, savings, this idea also that those who use a government sponsored program are lazy. what is not known is that 65% of the peel using medicaid are employed. another 10 to 15% are the elderly. another 10 to 15%. >> i hate to use this analogy, they may not be the targets, but they're often innocent victims who are bystanders. they get hit in a drive-by. you weren't the target but you got killed as an innocent bystander. if he doesn't see them as targets, does he see they will as innocent people who will get killed in this drive-by? >> i think he dismisses them as being small potatoes. doesn't matter. collateral damage. one of those things that's unavoidable. that breaks my heart. it is our people that we're talking about. and the american people need to wake up to the fact that this devastating proposal is going to shift money to the top. 63% of the savings, that's a big amount of savings because of repealing all these taxes, are going to those with .6% of the income. the top of the top. this is not who we are as a nation. the whole genius of our nation is we the peel. we t we the people for the common good. >> the american people to push back on what is in the offing. >> the american people have the power in this moment to call their members of congress and i suggest calling a few other members of congress, line speaker ryan's office to say no, don't do this. we want improvements to the affordable care act, improvement. but we don't want to decimate our people and end up so that we're hurting those who are most vulnerable. that's wrong. in any faith and wrong for the constitution. so call your member of congress now. >> how hopeful are you on what could be the eve of this vote? how are you processing this moment and all you've worked for and seen in your lifetime that we are back at this point? of balancing budgets on the backs of poor people. >> i know. every time we've gained a victory, part of me, i want to weep. i'm what i call a yo-yo of hope. >> i like that. a yo-yo of hopeful. >> yeah. the good thing is, we've got two opportunities to make a difference here. if we can stop it in the house, great. it would be a huge step forward for our nation. if we can't, we'll continue to struggle in the senate. we the people need to be heard and we need on stand up and make our voices heard. >> and let me close on this note. how do you sustain your hope? >> when i their stories of people who struggle. when i have people cry and weep and worry about their relatives, their sisters, their brothers, their parents, what will happen to them. how can i not be a champion for them? how can i not use my voice to extend theirs? it's faith that keeps us going. we are one body. we are connected. >> you are faith in action. >> thank you. >> we'll follow this and see what happens in the days ahead. if it can't be stopped in the house, always the senate. the fight goes on. up next, arturo sandoval. stay with us. so pleased to welcome musician and friend. arturo sandoval, now living in los angeles. the trumpet master and piano player. in the midst of recording two new albums. his first duet album with placido domingo and the late great jerome. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> i know you record for your album. i just spoke at his funeral. >> i'm so sorry. i wasn't here. i he was such a sweet guy. and extremely talented. of course. he was music. >> i'm so curious, what did he do on the album? >> oh, my lord. >> it was great. >> you know the best thing is, we were neighbors. he came to my house. we spent the whole day and now we have lunch together. we took pictures with my family. he was such a beautiful person and an incredible talent. incredible. >> while we're talking about it, you have some big names. i didn't mention stevie wonder and others. >> josh groban, alexander, prince roy. anthony, a bunch of people. the dominican, which is amazing. a bunch of great people, man. i hope i didn't forget -- oh, frieda from abba. >> how did you choose the music for this new album? >> i start to call friends. people who i admire and respectful some of them applied. some of them no. some say right away. and that was my first choice. the people who say yes, absolutely. >> makes it easy. >> but it's very ambitious project. all those people having a lot of, you know, of schedules. and i was still, the rest we recorded all of them already. placido, josh groban, alexandero sands, frieda. >> when do you expect that will come out? >> as soon as we finish. >> famous last words of an art i have. as soon as i'm done. >> and every thing you mentioned about notre dame university. a year ago. >> congratulations. >> an honor and a privilege. and then i mention that had to the president of the school. i said i would love to do something with the different format that they have there. they have a big choir, big bands. i would love to do a christmas album. they embraced that idea from the top. they loved it and they said we're going to do it 100%. we're going to back it 100%. >> notre dame, some smart cookies there. if arturo sandoval offers to do something with your music program and you pass it up. i'm from indiana. i grew up just down the street from that school. >> no kidding. great, man. i'm going to share with you something, i just come back from jakarta, indonesia. that was a great chance for us to go there. then we were in europe before. but next week i'm going to china for the first time. i've never been on the mainland. >> where are you going? beijing? shanghai? >> going to be 18 gigs in 21 days. going to be three weeks, one nighter. >> you're going to love it. >> i'll let you know when i come pack. then from there, it is straight to new york to do a week. for a week. >> when you get a chance, you were tutored by, you hung out and drove dizzy gillespie around. when you get a chance to play in these iconic and historic venues like that, do you feel presence of all the other great artists that played there? >> absolutely. i always said, it is an honor and a privilege to be here in the same stage where so many incredible musicians have been playing over the years. and something stayed there. the presence, you can smell it. man, how many good notes have been played here in this place? and how many great artists played there. and i enjoy it always. the people, for me the big difference. the people made a big difference. >> it doesn't matter where. i don't care about the name of the city or what continent. i'm in heaven. dit matter where. >> they're going to love you in china. >> i don't even know if there is a trumpet player there. >> quickly, this is the first time i've seen out stage since he passed away. i saw your comments about him. can i read this? you did not hold your tongue. no no. >> hold on. i will quoting from facebook after castro passed away. quote, the dictator has died, finally. he was the worst kind of evil. the kind of person that hell even turns away. closed quote. you have to stop being so shy. what were you really trying to say? >> i'm trying to say, everybody was waiting for that day. because no human, we shouldn't be happy when somebody dies. of course. but it is what he represented, all the damage that he did. and unfortunately, at that moment when i find out the news, you know, i said i thought it would be a happy day to make a big party. no. he is gone without pain for all the horrible things that he did. and all the crime he did. and he died in peace on the bed, you know. without being in the courtroom and the people prosecuting for all the harm that he did. and then that moment, i stopped being happy. i never thought my parents would go before him. >> they died before he did. >> absolutely. and they died without being able to go back ask see their relatives. i can't believe it. the worst thing is not even that. his brother is the same thing but worse. because he is more stupid than the other one. and nobody respects the brother there. the people feel no respect. the other one, a good speech maker. he could sell ice to the eskimo. >> what do you expect will happen in your native land in the coming years? >> i'm going to apply that with a little joke. a couple cubans find each other in the street. hey, pedro, how are you doing? man, last night i got a conversation with god. what? yeah. we talked on the phone. what you talking about? man, a lot of different things. i asked a bubunch of questions. what's the question you just asked. of course, i save that for the last one. what did he say? he hung up. unpredictable. what i have to tell you is the situation there is worse than ever. some people are confuse and believe, that it is open. we appreciate the and respect the decision of president obama to do what he did. but the result doesn't happen. it is worse. the depression is worse. the people are more frustrated, more hopeless than before. we couldn't see the horizon. >> you are kind to answer my questions about that. let me shift to something more happy in the three minutes i have. this horn looks sort of brand new. is it relatively new? >> i was saving a little money to make it. of course, i put here the ring of my best friend, my brother. >> i see that. >> but it is special. a prototype. it is made in switzerland. and it is designed to play soft, pretty, mellow, and romantic. >> hold on, stop, stop, stop. soft, pretty, romantic. which you are capable of doing which you'll prove in a second. you are known for such a big sound. >> yeah. but big? i don't know if that's a compliment of. >> it's a compliment. compliment. you get more out of a horn than anybody i know. >> but my concern, or my goal always has been, since the very beginning. the quality of the tone. when you play a couple notes with the right sound, everybody loves it. you can may a couple with the wrong sound and nobody cares. that's the importance of the quality. >> i want to you play the prototype that you have in your hand. i'll say good night to the audience. what are you going to play? >> here's a rainy day. >> arturo sandoval, after i say good night and thanks for watching in los angeles. always, keep the faith. a little love on the way out. here's our friend, arturo sandoval. >> thank you, thank you. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> thank you, thank you.
