Bill and im convinced that were going take the time to do it right. Health care uncertainty republicans on capitol hill pump the brakes about what comes next for obamacare. Political newcomer blows out far right marine la pen in a landslide. Sally yates set to testify. Who knew what about russia and the president ial election good morning, everyone. Mondays, may 8. Emmanuel macron has been elected the next president of the france. Landslide victory. Comes after a run off election. Won nearly 66 of the vote. Compared to le pens 35 . Youngest leader of france since napoleon bone apart. Big win adding i look very much forward to working with him. In addition to fighting off le pen. Subject of last minute hack and release of campaign documents. Some real and some said to be fabricated. Reportedly at the hands of russian hackers. In a tweet, Hillary Clinton also the subject of alleged Russian Campaign hack. Victory for macron, france, eu and the world defeated those interfering with democracy. She add ed parenthetically. I cant talk about that. Macron takes over a very divided france. This election had the worst turn out in nearly 50 years. Whats his mandate to governor here. Thats right. Eamon, its all going to hinge on the parliamentary elections coming up. Leading the party. This is a very young party. He only formed it within the last couple of months. Parliamentary elections next month. Polls saying he could get as many as 286 seats out of 577 seat parliament. He only needs about 289 to kovrnkovr governor. He could really avoid having to share power. At this point, i was in marseilles a week ago. A city on the southern coast. Bitter terrorist attacks right around there. A lot of immigrants and a lot of mutuals in marseilles. Also at the same time, a lot of support for Marine Le Pen and far right agenda. Very deep division. Folks were saying even with le pen having lost, these divisions and these anxieties, this racism, a lot of people feel here in france going to persist. Right now, eamon, theres a lot of celebration in the media. I want to show you newspapers. Center right paper. This is just saying, you know, that this is a play on his political party. Saying that the victory is continuing. And then here, this is the left wing paper. Well played with very youthful face as you mentioned. Then the back of marine la pen, well done. Over to Health Care Overall met to go through a serious makeover in the senate. Some republicans saying they will retool rather than try to pass the house aversion of the republican. Insisting that nobody will lose coverage. We have all these multiple layers of protection to make sure these families, look, these are friends and constituents. We want to make sure that people who have bad health care stuatu, who have preexisting condition, get affordable coverage. This is app different and better way to cover individuals with preexisting conditions. Nobody wants folks who have a preexisting illness or injury not to be covered. Can you really standby the president s pledge that everybody will be taken care of. Absolutely. Even if a governor, which im not sure thats ever going to happen takes waiver option, it wouldnt affect anyone with continuous coverage. So despite all those assurances, it will reduce for those just over the poverty line. They could weigh rules against charging higher prices to those with preexisting conditions while setting up socalled high risk pools. Speaking to reporters in milwaukee, wisconsin governor floated the idea of seeking a waiver saying, quotes, thats something we certainly would consider. Later walked back comment. Sayi joining us from capitol hill. Jonathan swan. Thanks for joining us. Saw discore in the republicans message. Do you think that means a rocky start to all of this. The package you played even before this one was pretty amazing. The shows yesterday the official line from the white house and paul ryan from House Republican leadership saying this bill is a really great start. It protects people with preexisting conditions. Potentially better or the same as obamacare. Then you had Susan Collins the senator from maine saying no, we need to start from scratch. Whole new fresh approach. A lot of problems with the bills coverage and also the fact it defunds planned parenthood. About ten senators that you put. Risk pools created in maine. You mentioned republican senator susan clinics had her own response. Listen to this. Ive heard a lot of talk about the maine hi risk. Indeed it was a success in maine for the 18 months or so in which it operated, but for the package of the aca and it can be part of the solution, but it maine we had definite Revenue Streams supporting the high risk poll. That is why it worked. Reporter as the Health Care Issues moves to the senate, are the republicans prepared to take it on the same way it came out of the house. I know youve been reporting that speaker ryan is looking to pi pivot from health care to tax reform. What does he have in store. To answer your question, the first part is yes, the senate is running this working group of 12 folks, but Susan Collins is not in the working group. There are a lot of other senators that arent in the working group that will probably cause a lot of trouble for them. Yes, its a long way to go on health care. Paul ryan. We reported instead axios last night that he this week will be going to ohio on wednesday. To start his big sales pitch for tax reform. Now, we know that there are some disagreements between paul ryans house plan and what the white house is thinking of, but the white house quite smartly has putut something pretty light on detail and doesnt get much into that. We can expect very big picture from paul ryan. He wants to build a long runway for tax reform. With the house in recess this week. Some republicans facing blow back from constituents. In idaho, town hall event friday he sparked outrage for this comment. No one wants anyone to die. That line is so indefensible. Nobody dies because they dont have access to health care. Later admit instead a Facebook Post that his answer that you heard there wasnt very elega elegant. Responding to a false notion the Republican Health care plan will cause people to die in the streets. I completely reject. I was trying to explain that all hospitals are required to treat patients in need of Emergency Care regardless of ability to pay. Does not change that. On saturday, congressman tom reid faced criticism for his vote in favor of the health care bill. You cannot do this to us and our children. Youre kill can go us. Youre killing us. Shame on you. Mental health services, i really question if you read this book, when you come out and say that opium economic is the number one priority yet you vote for a law that takes that out of the mandate. They dont have to provide it. Explain that. Thats not true. Oh, it isnt. Show me in the legislation where it is. Show us the legislation. Right here. Can i have your copy . Former president obama is publicly defending his Signature Health care law the Affordable Care act. Last night at the president ial library in boston, he accepted the profile encourage award. His speech, he highlighted the democrats who voted in favor of obamacare back in 2010 knowing it could cost congressional seats. There was a reason why Health Care Reform had not been accomplished before. It was hard. By time the vote came up to pass the Affordable Care act, these these freshman congressmen and women knew they had to make a choice. Had a chance to ensure millions and prevent untold worry and suffering and bankruptcy and even death, but the same vote would likely coast them their new seats. These men and women did the right thing. They did the hard thing. Because of that vote, 20 Million People got Health Insurance who didnt have it. Most of them did lose their seats. It was a personal sacrifice, but i know because identify spoken to many of them that they thought and still think it was worth it. This great debate is not settled, but continues. It actually doesnt take a lot of courage to aide those who were already powerful. Already comfortable. Already influential. Does require to champion the vulnerable and the sick a. I hope they understand that courage means not simply doing what is politically expedient, but doing what they believe deep in their hearts is right. Coming up.
