THE U.K. ANOTHER EXTENSION.
WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.
BACK TO OUR TOP STORY -- OR ONE
OF OUR TOP STORIES --
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MOVING AWAY
FROM OBAMACARE REPEAL EFFORTS
FOR THE TIME BEING, SAYING
VOTERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
AFTER THE 2020 ELECTIONS TO SEE
HOW THE G.O.P. PLANS TO REPLACE
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
THIS, AFTER SOME CONGRESSIONAL
REPUBLICAN SIGNALS AND
UNWILLINGNESS TO REIGNITE THE
HEALTH CARE DEBATE BEFORE NEXT
NOVEMBER.
TRUE TO ME NOW, CHIP ROY OF
TEXAS, WHO SITS ON THE HOUSE
OVERSIGHT AND BUDGET COMMITTEES.
GOOD TO SEE YOU TODAY.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, HARRIS.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> Harris: FANTASTIC.
IS THIS GOOD NEWS FOR
REPUBLICANS THAT THIS WILL BE A
DELAY UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION
IN 2020?
>> I THINK WHAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS THE STATE
OF TEXAS AND 19 OTHER STATES ARE
CONTINUING TO CHALLENGE
OBAMACARE IN THE COURTS.
I'M PROUD OF MY FORMER
COLLEAGUES IN THE TEXAS
ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE AND THE
PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION FOR
TAKING THIS LITIGATION FORWARD.
OBAMACARE IS PROBLEMATIC, IT'S
DRIVING UP PREMIUMS, INCREASING
COSTS, PUSHING PEOPLE OFF OF
THEIR HEALTH CARE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID HE WOULD BE
ABLE TO KEEP HER DOCTOR, IT WAS
A LIE.
PEOPLE LOST THEIR COVERAGE, THEY
LOST THEIR DOCTORS.
REPUBLICANS OUGHT TO GO ON
OFFENSE AND OWN HEALTH CARE.
WE OUGHT TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND SAY,
"YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST
HEALTH CARE IN THE WORLD IF YOU
GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY."
INSTEAD OF ALLOWING THE
DEMOCRATS DO WHAT THEY ARE GOING
TO DO THIS WEEK, WHICH IS A SHAM
RESOLUTION.
GOING AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT
TO DEFEND THE STATE AND NOT
OBAMACARE.
>> Harris: THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN
URGENT MATTER.
CAN'T IT WAIT UNTIL 2020?
>> NOBODIES HEALTH CARE COULD
WAIT.
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE
HEALTH CARE.
YOU GOT A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
THAT REFUSES TO TAKE ACTION TO
DRIVE DOWN PEOPLE'S PREMIUMS.
WE OUGHT TO BE DOING THAT TO BE
DOING.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT AGREES
WITH THAT.
I THINK WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS
RECOGNIZING THAT THE HOUSE
DEMOCRATS HAVE NO INTEREST IN
ACTUALLY WORKING WITH US TO
SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS, AT THE
BORDER OR IN PEOPLE'S HOMES AND
WITH THEIR DOCTORS.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD
MOVE QUICKLY.
THIS CONGRESS SHOULD TAKE
ACTION.
BUT SPEAKER PELOSI IS THE ONE
WHO NEEDS TO DO THAT.
INSTEAD SHE'S PLAYING GAMES,
PUTTING RESOLUTIONS ON THE FLOOR
OF THE HOUSE WHILE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE FLED ACROSS OUR BORDER
AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DON'T
HAVE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE.
>> Harris: I WANT TO HEAR FROM
SENATOR TIM KAINE, DEMOCRAT, ON
THIS VERY ISSUE.
>> FROM THE FIRST DAY IN OFFICE,
HIS MAIN GOAL HAS BEEN TO GET
RID OF OBAMACARE.
PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF HIS
INSECURITY ABOUT
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
HE JUST WANTS TO GET RID OF IT.
HE'LL GET RID OF IT WITH NO PLAN
IN PLACE.
THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A PLAN,
AFTER SO MANY YEARS THEY STILL
DON'T HAVE A PLAN.
BUT THE ACTIONS THEY ARE TAKING,
WHICH WOULD TAKE HEALTH CARE
AWAY FOR MILLIONS.
>> Harris: IS THAT FAIR?
THE PRESIDENT, JUST AS RECENTLY
AS LAST WEEK, WAS FINDING WAYS
TO KEEP EXISTING CONDITIONS.
HE IS PRESSURING REPUBLICANS TO
COME UP WITH THE PLAN.
>> YOU NOTICE WHAT SENATOR KAINE
DIDN'T DO, HE DIDN'T OFFER
DEMOCRAT PROPOSAL.
WHAT THEY WILL PUT FORWARD IS
MEDICARE FOR ALL.
THEY PUT FORWARD A BILL THAT
WILL COST US $34 TRILLION AND
TAKE AWAY HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.
I THINK WE GOT PLANS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN
ACCESS THEIR DOCTORS.
DIRECT PRIMARY CARE.
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, HEALTH
SHARING ORGANIZATIONS, PORTABLE
INSURANCE.
WE CAN MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN KEEP
THEIR INSURANCE FROM ONE JOB TO
THE NEXT.
ALL OF THAT IS POSSIBLE IF WE
JUST GET BUSY DOING THE WORK OF
GOVERNING.
MAKING SURE WE DO OUR JOB.
THE DEMOCRATS ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE AISLE DON'T WANT TO DO
THAT.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THAT HAS AN
ISSUE AND SCARE AMERICANS INTO
BELIEVING THAT THEY WILL LOSE
THEIR INSURANCE, WHICH IS NOT
TRUE.
IT'S A LIE.
>> Harris: OF COURSE THEY WANT
TO KEEP THE ISSUE, BECAUSE BY
THEIR ESTIMATIONS THAT HELP THEM
WIN IN THE MIDTERMS LAST
NOVEMBER.
SO I GET TO THE POLITICS AT PLAY
HERE.
WHEN I THINK I HEAR YOU SAYING
IS THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK
WITH WHAT IS THERE RIGHT NOW TO
FIX IT.
MY UNDERSTANDING, IS THAT
CORRECT?
>> OBAMACARE SHOULD BE SCRAPPED
AT ITS ENTIRETY.
WE SHOULD GO BACK AND GRADE
SYSTEM THAT SPELLS ON MARKET
PRINCIPLES SO PEOPLE CAN GO BACK
TO THE DOCTOR THE CHOICE COME
OUT OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE
BEFORE THEY USE IT.
SAYING THAT THEY WANT TO CREATE
A SYSTEM WHERE WE LOSE THE
INSURANCE COME TAKE WHAT WE HAD,
AND THEN CREATE A SYSTEM THAT'S
BROKEN.
NOBODY EVER LOSES THEIR
INSURANCE.
THAT'S ALL BUILT ON A
FABRICATION TO SCARE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
191% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE
INSURANCE THROUGH MEDICARE,
MEDICAID, OR THEIR EMPLOYER HAVE
BEEN HEALTH CARE, OR THE
INDIVIDUAL MARKET -- WE'VE GOT
OBAMACARE OUT OF THE WAY, THE
MAKE UP HE WOULD NEATLY HAVE
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE
IN A THEY DEALT WITH OBAMACARE
THE
ONE THE PRESIDENT AS A WAY OF
GETTING PEOPLE TO COME
TOGETHER ON THESE BIG ISSUES.
YOU THINK HE'S DONE THAT WITH
HEALTH CARE?
HE'S LOOKING TO CONGRESS.
WHICH I OFTEN SAY -- IT SEEMS
LIKE CONGRESS HAS A REALLY HARD
TIME GETTING THINGS DONE.
SPEAK OF THE FRAMERS ALSO GAVE
US A SYSTEM WHERE WE ARE NOT
SUPPOSED TO MOVE THINGS QUICKLY.
THAT'S OKAY.
WE NEED'S
WHAT WE NEED IS A CONVERSATION
INSTEAD OF WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
WANT TO DO.
THE PRESIDENT'S RIGHT TO STAND
WITH THE STATE'S COURT
CHALLENGING DISLOCATION, WHICH
IS
FLOOD.
IT'S A FLAT PIECE OF
POLICY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE STAND UP
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S THEY
CAN AFFORD HEALTH CARE INSTEAD
OF PULLING POLITICS AND SCARING
THEM ABOUT LOSING COVERAGE WHEN
