DONALD
TRUMP HAS SUDDENLY ENDORSED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLAN FOR
THE REPEAL OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
OF COURSE, MEMBERS OF
THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE HAVE TRIED TO COME UP WITH A
REPLACEMENT PLAN TO NO AVAIL.
IT IS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR
THEM TO GET SOME OF THE MORE MODERATE REPUBLICANS ON BOARD.
HOWEVER, NOW TRUMP IS SAYING WHY DON'T WE JUST REPEAL IT AND THEN
MAYBE ON ME LATER ON WILL COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT PLAN.
LET
ME GIVE YOU HIS TWEET.
GO TO GRAPHIC 11.
HE SAYS OF
REPUBLICAN SENATORS ARE UNABLE TO PASS WITH THEIR WORKING ON
NOW, THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REPEAL AND THEN REPLACE AT A
LATER DATE.
OKAY, SO WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?
IT TURNS
OUT THE SENATOR BIG BEN SASS CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA AND GOT
TOGETHER WITH OTHER COLLEAGUES WHO AGREE WITH HIM AND ARE NOW
CONVINCING TRUMP TO PROPOSE THIS IDEA.
SASS READ A LETTER TO
TRUMP FRIDAY MORNING SUGGESTING A PLAN TO REPEAL OBAMA ABOUT THE
CARE NOW WITH A YEAR-LONG DELAY IN IMPLEMENTATION SETTING UP
CONGRESS TO WORK ON A REPLACEMENT PLAN THE SUMMER.
HE
SAYS WE SHOULD INCLUDE A YEAR-LONG IMPLEMENTATION DELAY
TO GIVE COMFORT TO AMERICANS CURRENTLY ON OBAMA CARE THAT A
REPLACEMENT PLAN WILL BE ENACTED BEFORE EXPIRATION.
LET ME GET INTO WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS.
1ST OF ALL IS
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL CHILDREN, NOT JUST DONALD TRUMP.
THERE
LIKE IT IS SO HARD REPLACING IT.
JUST KILL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
IF YOU REPLACE IT WITH ANYTHING, THAT IS MANIACAL.
WHAT ARE
PEOPLE GOING TO DO THAT WERE ON THESE PLANS THAT OBAMA CAN SET
UP IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I GET IT, THEY THINK WE WILL SOLVE
IT LATER.
MAYBE.
THAT IS A MAYBE.
I IMAGINE THEY THINK, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEIR RIGHT,
THAT THE PRESSURE THAN ON DEMOCRATS, TO A FEW DEMOCRATS,
THEN IT WON'T BE A RECONCILIATION, THEN THEY MIGHT
NEED 60 VOTES THE BILL NEED SOME DEMOCRATS BECAUSE AND THERE WILL
BE NO HEALTHCARE PLAN SO YOU WILL BE ESSENTIALLY
STARTING OVER.
A PLAN THAT COVERS SOME PEOPLE, RIGHT IN A TOTALLY NEW WAY
WILL BE DIFFERENT AND THERE WILL BE PRESSURE ON SOMEBODY OR
DEMOCRATS WHO WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO.
OR THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS THAT THEY REPEAL OBAMA CARE SO
THOSE TAX BREAKS AND THEY GET THE TAX BREAK THAT GOES TO THE
WEALTHY AND THEN AS THEY THINK THEY WILL JUST NEVER REPLACE IT
BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE.
THEY DON'T MEAN TO.
THE THING THAT STICKS WITH THEIR CORE VOTERS WASN'T REPEAL
AND REPLACE, IT WAS JUST THE REPEAL PART.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT THEY NEED TO GET POLITICALLY FROM THEIR BASE.
I WON'T TALK ABOUT TAX BECAUSE AS A MAIN POINT HERE,
BUT SHE MADE A GREAT POINT THAT I HADN'T CONSIDERED TYPE THEY
DON'T DO ANYTHING BUT THEY HAVE REPEALED OBAMA CARE IN A YEAR
FROM NOW THAT IS GOING TO TAKE EFFECT UNDER THIS PLAN, THEN A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR INSURANCE AND IT IS GOING
TO BE IN DESPERATE STRAITS AND THAT ALLOWS FOR WHAT THE
REPUBLICANS ALWAYS DO, HOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HOSTAGE AND THEY
KNOW THAT SOME DEMOCRATS HAVE A CONSCIENCE AND SO THEY WILL BE
LIKE WELL, THEY ARE ALL GOING TO LOSE THEIR INSURANCE SEE BETTER
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT, OTHERWISE THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE.
AND SO SOME DEMOCRATS WILL BE LIKE DAMMIT, NOW WE HAVE TO WORK
WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY, SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT
PEOPLE.
IS SUCH A DIRTY, THAT YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT DIRTY
TACTIC IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AT ALL.
I THINK IT HAS BEEN OBVIOUS THAT SOME PORTION OF CONGRESS
DOESN'T GENUINELY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AT ALL CONSIDERING THE
TYPES OF PROPOSALS THAT THEY'VE COME UP WITH ONE THING TO ALSO
KEEP IN MIND IS A GOES FURTHER THAN LOSING SUBSIDIES THAT HELP
YOU PAY FOR YOUR INSURANCE.
THINK ABOUT ALL THE POSITIVE
THINGS THEY CAME OUT OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT LIKE THE
FACT THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN'T DENY YOU FOR PRE-EXISTING
CONDITION.
YOU CAN SEND YOUR PARENTS INSURANCE PLAN IS OF AGE
OF 26.
THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HARMED BY
JUST SIMPLY REPEALING IT AND THEN MAYBE THEY'LL COME UP WITH
A REPLACEMENT PLAN LATER.
UNKNOWN GUYS, THE WAY THAT YOUTUBE EXPLAINED IT, I'M PRETTY
SURE THIS IS THE ROUTE THEY'RE GOING TO GO.
I HOPE NOT, BUT
BECAUSE AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SAY HEY, PRESS, IT'S YOUR JOB TO
CALL 50-50.
OBAMA CARE IS GOING AWAY IN TWO WEEKS AND WHEN THE
TIME COMES A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE DEMOCRATS DON'T WORK WITH
US, IT IS EQUALLY THEIR FAULT.
OR MOSTLY THEIR FAULT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN, HERE'S OUR PLAN.
THEY WILL HAVE A PLAN, DEMOCRATS WILL EITHER JOIN OR NOT AND IT
WILL BE ON THE DEMOCRATS.
BEEN MIND THAT A PLAN AGAIN THAT
MAKES YOU BE COVERED WITH A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION, THAT
MAKES YOU EXPENSIVE TO COVER, THE WAY INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE
ABLE TO DO THAT IS BY FORCING PEOPLE WHO WERE EXTREMELY
HEALTHY TO PAY FOR THEIR INSURANCE.
IT TOOK ME A LONG
TIME TO FIGURE THAT OUT BUT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WAS IT.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE THE ENORMOUS SUBSIDIES THAT
WOULD ENABLE PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T POSSIBLY PAY WHEN THEY ARE
MAKING $21,000 A YEAR.
GOOD BOOK FINDING COVERAGE THAT WILL COVER PRE-EXISTING
CONDITION BECAUSE INSURANCE COMPANIES DON'T WANT TO
COVER THAT WE ONLY HAVE IS EVIDENCE OF THAT THE ENTIRE
HISTORY OF THE INTER-INSURANCE INDUSTRY.
IF THEY GO WITH THE PLAN, THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD SCREAM LETTING
MURDER ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE JUST TAKEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
HOSTAGE AND THEY ARE WILLING TO KILL THE HOSTAGES.
IN THIS CASE SOMEONE LITERALLY.
BUT THEY WON'T, YOU KNOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THE MESSAGING IS ALWAYS WEEK.
SOME OF MY BACK REALLY AGGRESSIVELY.
NOW ELIZABETH
WARREN, BERNIE SANDERS AND OTHERS BUT IF WE LET TO THE
DEMOCRATS SAVING THE DAY ON MESSAGING, WE WERE IN A WORLD OF
TROUBLE.
FINALLY, THE SECOND POINT THAT BEN WAS MAKING, LOOK,
THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY OF THESE REPUBLICANS IS REPEALING THOSE
TAX INCREASES ON THE RICH THAT CAME WITH OBAMA CARE SO THAT IS
WHY THEY ARE LIKE REPLACE, WHATEVER DO.
AS LONG AS WE TAKE
AWAY THOSE TAX INCREASES AND HENCE, NOW THAT THEY ARE INTO
LAW, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO $800 BILLION IN TAX CUTS THEY ARE
LIKE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
WHO CARES?
THERE IS CONSTANT
TALK OF.
MEDICAID EXPANSION GOES AWAY IF YOU REPEAL OBAMA CARE.
IF YOU REPEAL IT THEN THERE'S NO EXPANSION.
IS CONSTANT TALK BY THE REPUBLICANS HOW ABOUT HOW THIS
IS URGENT WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.
WHAT IS WE?
WHAT CHANGE
QUESTO KNOW, IT'S OF THE DONORS, AND WE COVERED A STORY, THE
DONORS BRAG ABOUT IT.
HOW THEY ARE PUTTING ALL THE PRESSURE ON
THEM AND ONE OF THEM FROM DALLAS SAID WE'RE GOING TO STOP THE
PIGGY BANK FOR THE REPUBLICANS UNLESS THEY GET US THOSE TAX
CUTS BY REPEALING THE HEALTHCARE BILL.
WE KNOW WHAT THEIR
OBJECTIVE IS.
THIS IS WHY I GET SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE
MAINSTREAM PRESS THEY COVER FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THEY HAVE
ONLY ONE OBJECTIVE.
THERE IS NO INTERPRETATION OF THE HEALTHCARE
BILL WHERE IT IS BETTER FOR MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS.
YOU CAN SAY HEY, IT'S BETTER FOR YOUNG GUYS WHO ARE NOT
SECOND ARE NEVER GOING TO GET SICK.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT STRATEGY, BY THE WAY, BUT YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT IT'S BETTER FOR MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS AND
YOU CAN'T SAY THEY CARE.
IT'S OBVIOUS IN THEIR POLICY PROPOSALS THAT THEY DON'T.
I HAVE TO JUMP IN AND COMMENT ON WHAT YOU JUST SAID REAL QUICK
BECAUSE IT IS TRUE THAT THEY ARE NOT SAYING THAT THIS HEALTH CARE
PLAN WOULD ACTUALLY BE WORSE THAN AMERICANS AND BY THE WAY, I
AM BASING THIS OFF OF MY OWN CONSUMPTION OF CABLE NEWS.
I
BEEN WATCHING AND LISTENING TO IT QUITE A BIT LATELY.
THEY DO
ATTACK THE RIGHT.
THEY ATTACKED THE RIGHT A LOT LATELY BUT THEY
SPECIFICALLY ATTACK THE RIGHT ON RUSSIA AND RUSSIA ALONE.
I THINK THAT IS A MISCALCULATION BY THE MAINSTREAM PRESS.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO COVER THE STORY DONE FACT, WE
HAVE A RUSSIA RELATED STORY IN THE RUNDOWN TODAY.
HOWEVER, THE THING THAT AMERICANS CARE ABOUT MOST
IS THE POLICIES AND THEY NEED TO GET ACTUAL DETAILED
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW HIS POLICIES AND HOW THE
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS ARE WORKING TO THE NAIL, REALLY
HARD IN ORDER TO BASICALLY DO AWAY WITH ANY TYPE OF
POSITIVE THING THAT HAPPENS DURING THE OBAMA MINISTRATION.
I CAN'T STAND THE CORPORATE DEMOCRATS A MAINSTREAM PRESS
THAT THE REASON THEY ONLY FOCUS ON RUSSIA'S BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
HURT THE DONORS AT ALL TALK ABOUT RUSSIA BUT IF YOU TALK
ABOUT TAKING THE SIX-DAY HUNDRED DOLLARS BILLION DOLLAR TAX CUT
SOME PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT THAT, SO SHE.
THERE SOME PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE NAMED AS CORPORATE DEMOCRATS
THAT ARE TALKING ABOUT IT EVERY DAY.
CORY BOOKER.
HE WOULD CERTAINLY MEET THE STANDARD OF A CORPORATE
DEMOCRAT.
