And things get heated in the White House Briefing room. The president is right and everybody else out here is faking it. And everybody out here is only trying to do their job. All in starts now. Evening from new york. Im chris hayes. There will be no vote this week on the Senate RepublicanHealth Care Bill. Mitch mccontinentals audacious strategy of ramming it through senate in one week has failed after the bill proved unable to withstand a little more than just five days of public scrutiny. In the wake of the cbo score yesterday, showing the bill would leave 22 million more people uninsured by 2026, the legislation has continued to hemorrhage support. By this morning, at least five republican senators announced they opposed advancing the bill to the floor. More than enough to stop it in its tracks. Despite lastditch efforts by the white house chief of staff to rangel the votes, they pulled the bill this afternoon. Were going to continue the discussions within our conference on differences that we have that were continuing to try to litigate. Subsequently, we will not be on the bill this week. But were still working toward getting at least 50 people in a comfortable place. It was only after the vote was delayed that a handful of other senators including these three announced they opposed the current bill. Now weve been somewhere like this before. After the first house bill fell back in march and the public attention wandered elsewhere, thats when the back room dealing began in earnest. Are they were celebrating in the rose garden. This time democrats are sounding the alarm. This is not over. Do not be misled. The house bill died by a twovote majority or something and it came back to haunt us. Good news is they didnt have the votes to pass it today. But theyll be trying to pass it over the next few weeks. We know that leader mcconnell will try to use a slush fund to buy off republicans, cut back room dealings to try to get this thing done. At the end of the week, lawmakers head home for a weeklong recess. And during that time, all kinds of side deals will be on the table. It contains over 200 billion in extra savings compared to the house version. That means 200 billion at Mitch Mcconnells disposal as he tries to woo the remaining holdouts. The deal making has already begun. He headed over to Talk Health Care policy. This will be great if we get it double. If we dont get it double, it is something we the wont like. Thats okay and i understand that very well. But i think we have a chance to do something very, very important for the public. Very, very important for the people of our country that we love. And joining me now, chris murphy, this process, this attempt to do this unprecedented feat. Craft a bill in senate. It the didnt quite get there. Why not . It didnt get there because this was a Dumpster Fire of a bill. It is amazing after six years of channelli channelling repeal and replace, they didnt have any idea, it would raise rates by 20 , and this is certainly a temporary victory. It is important because this was Mitch Mcconnells nightmare. He didnt want it to go a day beyond friday of this week. It is like a rotting fish. The longer it is out there, the more it is going to stink. I wont be easier when they get back to pass this bill. He has the slush fund. He will try to buy votes. But the American Public will have more time to find out what this is. I thought this was very, very interesting. Lisa murkowski of alaska. Dead silent. Then they were saying, by the way, i was against that bill. What do you make of that . Not exact it will examples of history making courage. I think they knew if it would get pulled, they should at least get credit for being against and it i think they want to be in a position to get something for their yes vote when we come back after the break. The danger here is that the expectations are so low, 22 million people, thats a humanitarian catastrophe. If they come back and have a cbo score that says they only uninsure 15 million people, that those senators you mention condition say theyve gotten a victory. We have to remind people that the republicans, including those senators, promised they would replace obamacare with something better. Not something worse. The expectations game will be really important. I want to get your opinion on this. She seemed to have a willness to work democrats in a genuinely collaborative fashion. You still have folks had your choouks want to repeal obamacare root and branch. You have other folks saying maybe theres a way to work with democrats. Would you be a proponent of trying to work across the aisle to make fixes as opposed to starting over . Absolutely. When did we get to the point we wont talk about a fix. We should be working our colleagues in the other chamber. He said he would get to 50. Is there any constituency . Yeah, he peeked out of the closed door meeting, saw that this bill didnt have support. Shut the doors and theyre back to their secret negotiations. It is a real shame that this cant happen. It is not good for this country to have 1 5 of our economy be a ping pong ball. And maybe republicans look at what they want. Maybe theyll pass a bill that strips away the Affordable Care act. But maybe well be in a single payer system. I would be. Better to sit down and create joint ownership. Talk about kernels and see if we can get something that works for both of us. Right now, i dont think it is a prospect. I think Mitch Mcconnell has decided to go back to the secret negotiations and that means well be on the outside shouting at the door. Thank you. Im joined by the republican from new york who voted against the house version of the Health Care Bill. I wanted to talk to you about this. You voted against house bill. It was even more truncated. Do you think anything good can come of this . I think your previous guests said it all. We can have a Health Care Bill thats republican or democrat. The Affordable Care act was passed without one republican vote. The house bill was passed without one democratic vote. Nothing was done yet in the senate. They know it is being negotiated. But we can have a Health Care Policy for our country that changes every time residents of 1600 avenue changes. It is not fair to consumers and patients and families. It is not fair to Health Care Providers or insurance companies. It should be an american issue. So here is what Susan Collins said. She wants to work with the democrats. It is not the rhetoric of repeal he. It does seem to me, when i look at it, there is some stuff that targets stabilizing the individual markets and the exchanges that i think you can get 75 of votes in both houses for. That seems to me a big problem. People are really concerned about it. It does seem like there are things in the republican bills, if you focused on that, you can pass. I think there are things in the bill that both sides can agree on. And the solution may be, that you have to break it apart so the American Public sees me progress. Some movements toward a Better Health care system than we have now. My position has been that we have to help the people at the Affordable Care act harmed. There are people paying astronomical premiums, copays, and they can afford health care. At the same time, the Affordable Care act help people who didnt have Health Care Coverage before west should help the people harmed by the Affordable Care act and at the same time not harm the people who were helped. Thats a good standard. I should note the cbo said people paying out of pocket costs will pay more. I want to ask but one particular part of this bill that im fascinated with. It is the buffalo buyout. It is essentially a deal to change the calculation of medicaid funding. Visavis property faxes would cut taxes for four or five members of congress but then push that burden to every one else including People Living in new york city and staten island. The people you represent. Your colleagues in your state caucus give them the shaft. Here is the thing, it is in the senate bill. I dont know how it survived. They were looking at it to see if it was germane. Listen, i dont begrudge my colleagues for representing people that sent them to washington. This is good for their constituents. It is bad for mine. It is one of the reasons i voted no. And i predicted our governor has to make up the 2. 3 billion deficit that the state would have a short fall in medicaid payments. Today he announce that had he would go to albany and ask for a tax that would increase taxes on people who make up the difference. And i have asked the governor to except the people of new york city from increase. Were already paying our share. Thats probably good politics for your constituents. What it says to me, that deal got into the senate bill. All the talk about the plans for the senate and force you to pass countial down to every letter without conference committee. The only reason for that, your deal, the house deal to be in that senate deal, is because thats what theyre planning on doing. It may well be. Everything that they do over in the senate bill. When that comes back here, we had 217 member thats voted for the house version. We cant afford to lose anyone. So any changes are made, youre taking a chance that you might get on to 217 of the capital. Thank you for your time. Joining me now, haley bird and matt fuller, congressional reporter for the Washington Post. Youve been doing fantastic work. So you are really on the pulse of the house bill. What is your current determination . Well, it is obvious. He doesnt have the votes. I think you laid it out pretty well. You look at who you have. You can only lose two votes. You have decent heller off the top saying he is against the bill. You have Susan Collins who says it is unlikely, as if she really cant support this or really just wont. Then from there you have a bunch of conservatives who have their own set of issues. Mitch mcconnell, john cornyn. They ran them off and said dhoek this. Losing rand paul and Susan Collins. Well, he really threw it into chaos. Now you have these other senators. The medicaid expansion, there is really no impetus to support the bill. So the, mike lee, rand paul objections, how overcomable do you see those . And how rigid are they . Mike lee put down a marker and said there has to be a state option the entireliment on out. If guaranteed issues. All these popular protections. Do you think he will stick to it . Thats a good question. I think as we saw in the house, the House Freedom caucus and conservatives started out from that far right position of wanting all 12 aca mandates repealed, or at least for the states to do so. As negotiations went on, meadows and the Freedom Caucus ended up settling for Community Rating sand essential health benefits. Rand paul and mike lee have both indicated in some form or fashion that the house bill, if it was put on the senate floor, might not have been conservative enough for them. So thats a concern. Like lees marker is even more radical than what the meadows over whee the mcarthur amendment in the house. States can get out of these he benefits which are also pretty popular. So youre saying, they already were saying thats not enough. What were you saying . Thats really, if thats the case, thats kind of the ball game here. If you take collins and heller at their word. Lisa murkowski has made the preexisting conditions part of her problems, as well as the alaska specific issues. Then others who have the same issues. A lot of republicans campaigned on the fact we want to repeal obamacare but keep the preexisting conditions. Including the president himself. This is why i thought ron johnsons ad was interesting. He called for revoking the preexisting conditions provisions. His position is the pre 2009 system. The only problem with that position is he made it clear that hell vote, if it is incrementally better. He is one of those, extremely gettable. Not someone that i would count on at the end of the day. Is ron johnson going to hold this off . He wont be the one that sinks it. All right. Thank you both. Coming up with the health care vote, postponed until after recess. Republicans head home to their home states to face their voters. How if guests book direct ater, choicehotels. Com and stay twice theyll get a 50 gift card . Summertime. Badda book. Badda boom.

Xfinity gives you more to stream to more screens. Now that the republican controlled senate, they will to have return to their constituents and defend a massively unpopular bill that threatens to take Health Care Away for millions of americans. This was the scene in front of marco rubios office in orlando yesterday. One of many similar sights yesterday. Democrats are warning that they are preparing for round two. Senate republicans have been tasked with reaching a new Health Care Agreement by friday so a new bill can be sent to the office over the recess. Were going to use the rest of this week to work on what it takes on come to consensus. It will make it better than it is today and then have it scored so when we do come back from the break, we can proceed. He joining me now, everyone is watching this with baited breath. What comes next . To be honest, this is just the beginning. While senator mcconnell doesnt believe he has the votes today, it doesnt mean he wont have the votes two weeks from now. So people have to keep speaking out. Telling their stories. Being heard and fighting for whats best for their families. The infamous town halls in 2009 around the Affordable Care act, how much does that pressure matter . Does it make a difference in your calculation . It really matters. When youre hearing constantly from your could not is it the bentz something is good or bad, your job is to represent them. Showing up at town halls, showing up outside members of congresss offices, making the phone calls, i read those letters from the senate floor when i was talking about different nominees i was voting against and sharing what my constituents felt about these nominees. It informs our judgment. When something is as important as health care, that has such a Significant Impact on families lives, on the ability to survive. These the moments when you cannot stay silent. You do need to speak out. It is why the republicans did not have the votes they needed to pass this bill. What do you say to people who say, weve been here before. They did this in the house and went behind closed doors and they made the bill from points perspectives worse. Theyre going to come back and do this again. To people had think it is a fait acompli, what do you say . We are as vulnerable to that as they were. So please continue over advocate for what you believe in. And whats necessary. I mean, just to be clear. People who are defeated, people that think, theyre going on get the votes. Mcconnell knows what theyre doing and theyre going to knuckle sxunld theres nothing we can do. Nothing is ever over until its over. So honestly, the only time democracy ever works is when regular people stand up and demand action. Thats something the American People have been doing since the inauguration. Since the womens march. Men and women have been standing up, fighting hard and pushing back on policy thats are harmful to our country, to our values. So people to have keep speaking out. And not grow tired and not grow weary and not give up. If they do, they will lose. It is up to the American People to fight back. Do you think, there is a timing issue here. It is always unclear to me. This process breaks my brain when i try to figure out where we are. They have a limited runway. At some point, they ram it through with 50 plus one. They will run out of time at some point. What they need for their states. I think we are as vulnerable as we were last week. So we have to keep fighting and keep pushing back. If you notice the members who have said no, teeth ultra conservative members. People like rand paul, ted cruz, mike lee, or the moderate members like Susan Collins or lisa murkowski. Those members really do listen to their constituents. And they know their states very, very well. So when people are protesting, showing up at town halls, speaking up about how this will harm their families. If you listen to what theyve said, theyre worried about rolling back medicare. How many seniors, howl individuals who wont be able to afford insurance because they have preexisting conditions. These are real families. Real lives. So speaking out to them makes a difference the medicaid cuts are big. Thanks for joining us. Joining me now, senior adviser, national spokesperson. What have you lesharned . What weve learned is that we cannot be complacent. We have to keep our foot on the gas. We saw what happened in the house. The public scrutiny went away. And then we didnt hear anything for a while. We thought it was over. And then the thing, what you saw was, they were breaking, making deals behind the scenes and they rammed it through. So we have to be really, really vigilant here. Its not over. We need folks to go to events. Some of them will be too chicken. Go to to their office. Make sure your voice is heard. Tell your story. There will be fourth of july parades that theyll go to. Make sure you show up with your do not ta
