Next step? it s going to be a government takeover. we saw this with the banks and see this over and over again. failure is the democrat s friends. nicole? one thing to adhere, we have a solution to this branding program. we should take obama and trump out of it and call it with romney care. it s what was successfully done in massachusetts but it s exemplifies how much we re unable to talk to each other. eli, i want you on this idea. we heard john kasich out with his democratic governor, the kbofers are sounding off about the cuts to medicaid. republicans weren t just looking at republican opposition on the hill. there was republican opposition out in the land too. yeah, i was at the national press club and kasich was standing up there with john hickenlooper of colorado and say what you will about their national ambitions and political ....
Not accepting any bill that doesn t cut medicaid and doesn t defund planned parenthood. those two elements can t get through the senate. this is going nowhere in the end. didn t make the insurance cheap. that s right. one of the thins so ironic about this, we know this at the heart of it, obamacare was simply romney care, that it was a republican plan. what they re trying to come up with is something to the right of what republicans had already in some ways embraced. all right. if you re mentioning heart, do not remember last week all of the lawmakers talking about a call for unity? was that just talk or do we have a chance to see it? unity exists on a personal level within the halls of congress. it truly does. but on a political level, absolutely not. listen, i tried to lead compromise on heartiard issues guns to marriage equality. i couldn t get my party there but i couldn t get democratic leadership with me. they didn t want to work in a bipartisan way. the challenge is ....

Rein in those profits the way other countries have done, we could give everyone good quality coverage that would not have to break the bank and would be affordable. theresa, i want to play for you a republican congressman, mike burgess, what he told my colleague, chris hayes last night. there will be access for everyone. but not insurance. actual care and coverage are different so i can tell you that as a physician. there are plenty of times that i saw people who had coverage and weren t getting care. he is a doctor, i should say. do you get the sense that some of the messengers are unsure of the impact this will have or maybe they are sure and they re standing by the bill? that s a great question. i think they are unsure and i think the language is very weasely to use maybe an unki word because there s paying for insurance. then there s the actual cost of your medical care, which can be thousands and thousands of dollars if you re very sick. and then there s the question o ....
Do you have access to care. so because the emergency medical treatment and labor act mandates that hospitals have to provide emergency care, everyone in america has access to an emergency room, right. but once you re in that emergency room and it turns out you have leukemia or you have a serious heart condition, what s going to happen to you after that if you don t have insurance? so, yes, anyone can walk in the door to a hospital and say there s something going on with me, i need care. and if that s what you mean by access, that you can walk in the door, yeah, then they ll have access. but will they really get care? it s like going into a fancy restaurant. sure, you can maybe get up to the maitre d , but are you going to get to eat dinner? probably not. you ve given us several minutes of a compelling case. if i were to give you 20, 30 seconds to sum up what you would like to see going forward if you have someone s ear, what would ....
