>>> WELCOME BACK. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BIG STORIES
AND TO BE SURE, TERRIBLE STORIES
IN THESE FINAL DAYS HEADING INTO
THE MIDTERMS.
THE MIDTERMS. AND THOSE ALL MERIT ATTENTION.
WE’VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN COVERING
THEM A LOT.
BUT I WANT TO TURN YOUR
ATTENTION RIGHT NOW BACK TO THE
MIDTERMS AND GROWING SIGNS THAT
VOTERS ARE FOCUSED ON SOMETHING
ELSE FOR THE MOST PART, ON
HEALTH CARE, AND WORRIES ABOUT
WHETHER TRUMP AND THE
REPUBLICANS ARE OUT TO KILL
OBAMACARE, A PERCEPTION THAT
COMES FROM THE WAY PRESIDENT
TRUMP GOVERNS.
TRUMP GOVERNS. IT RAISES A FUNDAMENTAL
QUESTION -- CAN YOU KILL
SOMETHING IF IT’S TOTALLY DEAD?
>> I ALSO WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
THAT OBAMACARE IS DEAD.
IT’S A DEAD HEALTH CARE PLAN.
OBAMACARE IS A DISASTER, IT’S
TOTALLY DEAD.
TOTALLY DEAD. OBAMACARE WAS MURDER FOR THEM TO
GET, AND NOW IT’S FAILED.
IT’S VIRTUALLY OUT OF BUSINESS.
OBAMACARE IS VIRTUALLY DEAD.
AT BEST YOU CAN SAY IT’S IN ITS
FINAL LEGS.
FINAL LEGS. >> PART OF WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAID WAS A LIE.
WE CAN FACT CHECK THAT FOR YOU
BY CITING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION’S OWN LAWYERS WHO
ARE CURRENTLY SUING TO KILL
OBAMACARE, BECAUSE IT IS A LIE.
BECAUSE IT IS STILL A LAW.
SO THE FIRST KEY POINT,
OBAMACARE IS NOT A ZOMBIE.
IT DOESN’T RISE UP FROM
LEGISLATIVE DEATH TO, I DON’T
KNOW, PROVIDE HEALTH CARE.
IT’S NOT MICHAEL JACKSON, ONE OF
THE MOST TALENTED ZOMBIES OUT
THERE.
THERE. OR JASON, OR EVIL ASH OR ANY
OTHER LEGISLATIVE ZOMBIES YOU
MIGHT COME UP WITH.
OBAMACARE IS MOSTLY ALIVE, A AND
THE EFFORTS TO KILL IT WOULD
DEMOLISH SOME OF THE POPULAR
INGREDIENTS, LIKE RULES THAT
PREVENT INSURERS THATFROM
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST SICK
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. OBAMACARE IS NOW MORE POPULAR
THAN EVER, WHICH HAS REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES TRYING TO PRETEND
THEY ARE NOW DOWN WITH OBAMA’S
SIGNATURE HEALTH CARE
ACHIEVEMENT.
ACHIEVEMENT. TAKE JOSH HOLLY IN MISSOURI.
HE’S PART OF THAT CONSERVATIVE
LEGAL EFFORT TO GUT OBAMACARE IN
THE COURTS THAT I JUST
MENTIONED.
MENTIONED. BUT HIS ADS RUNNING THIS CYCLE
TOUT PROTECTIONS FOR PATIENTS, A
FAR CRY HOW HE SOUNDED WHEN
OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT.
>> EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE LEARNED
OUR OLDEST HAS A RARE CHRONIC
DISEASE.
DISEASE. PREEXISTING CONDITION.
PREEXISTING CONDITION. WE KNOW WHAT THAT’S LIKE.
I’M JOSH HOLLY.
I SUPPORT FORCING INSURANCE
COMPANIES TO COVER ALL
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS.
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS. >> IT’S A LITTLE RICH WHEN THE
PRESIDENT SAYS OUR NUMBER ONE
GOAL IS TO COVER MORE AMERICANS
WITH HEALTH INSURANCE.
ACTUALLY NOT.
ACTUALLY NOT. THE NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO FORCE
HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES TO A
SOCIAL AGENDA.
SOCIAL AGENDA. >> HE EVEN DUBBED THE LAW
SOCIALISM.
SOCIALISM. >> POLITICIANS ARGUE A LOT ABOUT
HEALTH CARE, BUT FOR ME, IT’S
PERSONAL.
PERSONAL. WE MUST PROTECT AMERICA’S HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
CARE SYSTEM. THAT’S WHY I’M TAKING ON BOTH
PARTIES AND FIGHTING FOR THOSE
WITH PREEXISTING CONDITIONS.
>> WE’RE SEE THING TREND ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY.
LOOK AT THE REPUBLICAN DEAN
HELLER IN NEVADA.
HE SAID HE WAS FOR REPEALING
OBAMACARE, BUT THAT CHANGED.
>> THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
CAN AGREE THAT THE ACA DOES NEED
FIXES.
FIXES. THIS BILL THAT’S CURRENTLY IN
FRONT OF THE UNITED STATES
SENATE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
KY NOT SUPPORT A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT TAKES INSURANCE
AWAY FROM TENS OF MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS AND HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN NEVADA.
>> THIS IS THE ONE WE WERE
WORRIED ABOUT.
WORRIED ABOUT. HE WANTS TO REMAIN A SENATOR,
DOESN’T HE?
DOESN’T HE? >> HA, HA, HA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT.
NOW HE’S BACK TO TOUTING PARTS
OF OBAMACARE IN NEW CAMPAIGN
ADS.
ADS. >> I’M FIGHTING TO PROTECT
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS AND
INCREASE FUNDING FOR PEOPLE WHO
NEED IT MOST.
JACKIE, I’LL STACK MY RECORD UP
AGAINST YOURS ANY DAY.
>> THOSE ARE THREE CANDIDATES IN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TRYING TO
CHANGE THE OBAMACARE POSITION.
TAKE CONGRESSWOMAN MARTHA
McSALLY, RUNNING FOR SENATE.
SHE SAID CONGRESS HAS TO MOVE
AWAY FROM OBAMACARE.
NOW AS ELECTION DAY GETS CLOSER,
AS SHE SPENDS TIME WITH VOTERS,
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
MOVE FORWARD, TO MOVE AWAY FROM
THE DISASTROUS OBAMACARE.
WHETHER THAT FITS ON THE
CALENDAR IN THE SHORT TERM OR
AFTER THE ELECTION, I’M NOT
SURE.
SURE. CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE
THINGS THAT MATTER, INSTEAD OF
REPEATING EVERYTHING.
REPEATING EVERYTHING. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TALK
ABOUT LIKE THE CARAVAN?
>> CARAVAN?
>> CARAVAN? MEANWHILE, DEMOCRATS ARE IN A
NEW POLITICAL WORLD.
THEY DID LOSE 63 HOUSE SEATS IN
2010 AFTER OBAMACARE WAS
ENACTED.
ENACTED. THIS CYCLE, HALF OF ALL
DEMOCRATIC ADS ARE ABOUT THE
THING THAT PLAGUED THEM THAT
CYCLE, ABOUT HEALTH CARE.
>> WE NEED TO EXPAND HEALTH
CARE, NOT TAKE IT AWAY.
AS AN ARMY DOCTOR AND
PEDIATRICIAN, I KNOW WE
ACCOMPLISH THE MOST BY WORKING
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. >> OUR HUMANITY AT LARGE, WHAT
IT IS TO SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE
CITIZEN IN IDAHO HAS THE RIGHT
TO HEALTH CARE.
>> IT’S WRONG THAT FAMILIES HAVE
TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING FOR
LIFE-SAVING MEDICINE AND PAYING
THEIR BILLS.
THEIR BILLS. THAT’S WHY I WON’T TAKE A PENNY
FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES AND
I’LL SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HEALTH
CARE FOR ALL.
>> YOU’RE LOOKING AT DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES WHO WON THEIR
PRIMARIES AND ARE NOW STAKING
THEIR HOMESTRETCH MESSAGE ON
HEALTH CARE.
HEALTH CARE. THE ISSUE IS COMPLICATED, BUT
VOTERS APPEAR TO BE FINDING OUT
THERE’S A LOT THEY ARE IN FAVOR
OF FOR OBAMACARE.
THAT’S AN AREA WHERE WE’RE OFTEN
TOLD EVERYTHING IS FAKE NEWS AND
FACTS DON’T MATTER.
