Texas and rand paul of kentucky, two of the five republicans who say they oppose the bill in its current form because it doesnt go far enough to repeal obamacare in their view. I want to go straight to cnn white house correspondent, athena jones. Senator mccon cell givinell is m a handful of days and even less time to consider once the report comes out. What is trump now saying about this bill . Reporter this is interesting, ana. As you said, there is enough opposition to effectively kill this bill and thats why its important to take place behind the scenes and see if they can get it past the finish line and more concern that moderate senators have brought up about people being left behind by this bill in particular due to the cuts to medicaid that are proposed in this bill, well, secretary price insists that people arent going to be left behind in the end. Listen. The plan that we have would put in place would not allow individuals to fall through the cracks and we would not pull the rug out from anybody and we would not have individuals lose coverage that they want for themselves and for their family. We want to make certain that healthcare is available to all americans. You heard price echoing this effort. We should be looking at this in a more comprehensive way that the senate bill is one step in a process. Secretary price has argued that the department of health and Human Services can make Administrative Changes that would help bring down costs and premiums and make sure people are covered and the bottom line is that the cbo and the Congressional Budget Office cant score these kind of future hopes that price is talking about and these future steps he plans to make when it comes to administrative steps and so that is why when you saw the cbo score and the house version they found that millions and millions and millions would lose coverage and theyre likely to find something similar with the senate bill. Because the senate bill is similar to the health bill. The president has been personally calling some of those republican senators who have expressed concerns about the bill. What more can you tell us about that. I asked White House Press secretary sean spicer, what is the argument that the president is making to these senators . Is he getting into the nitty gritty and into policy details . We heard when he was trying to woo house members that he wasnt able to talk about individual concerns when it comes to nittygritty policy details. I was told that the president s argument is the argument weve seen on twitter and elsewhere which is that obamacare is dead. There is no other alternative and this is the time and the last best chance to comply with the promise that republicans have been making for years now ever since this bill was signeded into law in 2010 republicans have been vowing to repeal and replace it and that is part of the argument that the president is likely to make to the senators that hes talking to and calling them was a Koch Brothers event and talked to Senate Whip John Cornyn who acknowledged it was going to be close and i talked to a senior white house official who said it was going to be a rocky week and a lot to walk for. Athena jones, on top of it. And lets talk about the race to repeal obamacare. Joining us, senior reporter, and stephen colinson and how many people could lose insurance and highway much this plan could cost americans and are the numbers expected to be better than what he saw with the house bill . We dont expect them to be substantially different because the bill and there are changes to the house bill and it doesnt appear to be substantially different and it was such a big deal when the cbo issued the house bill because it came out and said 23 million few americans over the last decade would have Health Insurance under the replacement for obamacare than under obamacare and not have big reverberations in the National Debate about this bill. We dont know exactly what it will cost and who it will pay with the big differences in cost between the two bills, but a cnn analysis of the senate bill suggests that younger, healthier americans are likely to get the Price Reductions in the Health Policy simply because they could possibly be allowed to buy policies that cover fewer contingencies and older, sicker americans could well have higher deductibles and higher premiums and pay more for out of pocket costs and then there are the wealthiest americans who could pay for extra tax to subsidize obamacare subsidies. Teyll get a tax cut. There are clear winners and losers and the question is how many people lose out because of the end to the medicare expansion and Medicaid Expansion which allowed many lowincome americans to get health care and opponents of the bill say many will fall through the gaps because of the senate bill. The cbo score impacts the bills chances of getting those 52 senators to say yes or at least 50 senators to vote for it. Lets add more voices to the mix and turn to russia now. Cnn National Security analyst sean turner. Hes also the former director of communications for u. S. National intelligence and jack barski, a former kgb agent and author of deep undercover, my secret life and tangled allegiances as a kgb spy in america. Listen to what President Trump has said just this morning with friends over on fox news. I just heard today that obama heard about russia before the election and he did nothing about it, but nobody wants to talk about that. If he had the information why didnt he do something about it . He should have done something about it. 17 intelligence agencies concluded before election day that russia was interfering and thencandidate trump refused to believe them. As someone formerly with national intelligence, sean, does it bother you that the president is now acknowledging russias role and painting it as if he just found out. Ana, thanks for having me. First of all, this response by the president seems disingenuous. 17 agencies concluded prior to the president being elected that russia had interfered in this election. The president had been briefed on this once he became the candidate. So the idea that the president was not aware is something that i think we should all be concerned about, but here ate more important issue, ana. President obama was measured and cautious and deliberative when it came to dealing with National Security issues. Whether you believe he did the right thing and not taking more substantive action and determining that politics were too much of a factor, that could be debated, but this issue with russia today is this president s issue. So the real question isnt why didnt president obama do more . That will be debated and historians will examine that and the real question is what is President Trump going to do today to address the fact that russia, a Foreign Government and an adversary of the United States interfered in one of our most fundamental and foundational processes, the electoral process and thats the real question we should be asking. Jack, you are obviously well versed in russian espionage. Is Vladimir Putin surprised that president obama didnt do more . No, hes not, and by the way, we dont know what president obama did or did not do. Trust me, that american intelligence is well ahead of the game here. We dont talk about this stuff. We have Cyber Capabilities that i guarantee you outpace what the russians have and the thing about doing something about a particular hack, you cant put up a wall and say dont hack anymore and youll have to launch a counterattack and obama determined that wasnt the right thing to do. Its not the time. He did respond and we know what he did as far as the retaliation and it came in december. He had the sanctions and got rid of people from the compounds that were here, but jack, the report in the Washington Post, for russias election meddling, would americans be surprised to see just how many russian spies are actually in the u. S. . Yes and no. You have to assume that fundamentally almost every diplomat has some kind of connection to russian intelligence. So that would be a big surprise to Many Americans who still think the game is played by certain rules and the russians dont play by the rules and never have. I dont think there are that many illegals and you have a spy next door and it was probably more the exception than the rule and not quite as dramatic as we envisioned and stephen, bee accusi accusing president obama not doing nufr, is President Trump inviting or exposing himself to criticism of how little he has done to respond to russias election meddling himself. Think you can argue that this is a strategy to deflect away from questions of what the president himself plans to do about this. He has said back in january that he believes the russians were responsible for this, a fact that sean spicer, the white house spokesman referred to last week and he has tried to blur the issue, and i think thats one of the things that the president was doing over the last few days. Its interesting that whenever this issue is brought up, the white house sees this in a very political way. They equate the whole idea that the election was meddled in by the russians with some attempt to delegitimize President Trumps victory and theyre exceedingly sensitive about that and weve seen that from the president himself. So i think thats one of the reasons why they are less willing to talk about what they might do about it in many ways the vacuum has been filled with key figures on capitol hill. Theyre still pending in the house and it will be interesting to see what the White House Position is on those, but its clearly the president s clearly trying to deflect with his tweets and what he said on fox today from his own sort of responsibility to do more to defend the u. S. Elections. Weve heard of a number of meetings and talks between Trump Campaign and russian officials over the last few months. Are those meetings more concerning now that the president acknowledges russia interfered in the election . I think when you look at those meetings in the aggregate and the fact that all of the other facts that have come out with russia and interactions between Campaign Officials and russian officials, whether or not they are more concerned or should be more concerning is, to be quite honest, its still to be determined. I mean, we said prior to the election that it was want unusual for Campaign Officials to occasionally meet with counterparts from other countries to establish relationships and to begin a dialogue, but in this case, the question that were all wondering is whether or not those interactions went too far. Whether or not there were deals made and whether or not there was some element of governing or attempting to govern prior to the administration coming back in. Its a question that the special investigator will get to the bottom of and its one we all need to have an answer to. U. S. Intelligence agencies had sourcing deep inside the russian government capturing putins direct instructions and the operation to damage clintons chances of winning and to help elect trump. The report called the intelligence on putin extraordinary. What is putins reaction to be knowing how much was exposed about his direct role . First, you have to question the Washington Post sources, and we have a source deep in the kremlin and that source will be so well protected that no journalist has access to it. I would be cautious with the credibility of that article and im not going to go any further than that. Do you think its possible that somebody inside and close to the kremlin would be sharing information or that it could get out or do you think it would be captured through some kind of surveillance . Nothing is impossible, but i believe its very unlikely. The russian government is extremely well protective and so has been the soviet union and this is a closs society compared to hours and its a source somewhere in the white house than in the kremlin. All right. Well leave it there. Jack barski and schaean turner. Ahead, hot under the collar. The Russian Investigation is dominating the conversation.

They want to get a healthcare bill through the senate before the fourth of july vacation and with the number of senators still firmly against them that time line might not cut it. A governor who ran for president last year, he hates the new bill. He says both parties are missing the point. Both parties ought to be worrieded about poor people because i dont think either party particularly cares about helping poor people. You look at the rates of poverty and look at the problems in this country, and we have not designed the system to get people work. Everything were talking about now, getting people healthy and getting them health care is designed to get them to work. I want to bring in cnn contributor and author j. D. Vance. You just heard Governor John Kasich there say that Neither Party particularly cares about poor people. His words, is he right . Unfortunately, i think that he is right. At least hes right in this way. I think a lot of people are well intentioned on both the left and the right and unfortunately, there arent a lot of people willing to do the hard thinking necessary to figure out what it is to do to help poor people and thats one of the reasons that poverty rates and the indicators that we see among the poor and like addiction death rights and Life Expectancy are going in the wrong direction not just over the past eight years and the past 16 years and some of these trends have been going in the wrong direction for 30 or 40 years. Under the health care plan, we could see the entire Medicaid Program as we know it change drastically. Bottom line, states are going to be getting a small share of money from the government and a lot say they dont have the funds to make up the difference. John kasich some of them. 70 million americans depend on medicaid and low income, children, the disabled and elderly, how might this one part of the senate plan impact trumps base . Well, the most obvious way that it will impact trumps base and a lot of other folks, quite frankly is when you dont have enough money to support the Medicaid Program, and eventually you have to cut reimbursement rates which means that a lot of people will have less access to their doctors and less access to the care they depend on. Its important to note that i think there are very real criticisms to be levied against the program and as it exists, but to fix that problem, you have to fundamentally spend money and you can spend money in the marketplace and spend it on medicaid, but unfortunately, the choices that this Republican Health care bill makes both the house version and the Senate Version is to cut taxes, primarily for wealthy americans instead of helping some of the lower income and workingclass americans afford their Health Insurance, and i think thats the fundamental flaw. Do you think that the fact that the gop healthcare bill, at least the house bill is more unpopular than obamacare will have an impact on how the gop senators and eventually house members vote on this . Its a really tough question. You would think that it would have a significant impact, but my worry with this particular piece of legislation is that a lot of senators and house members have decided that the costs of doing nothing outweigh the costs of doing something really unpopular. Though i think a lot of folks recognize that this particular piece of legislation is very unpopular, and what they dont want to do is go back to the constituents and the great irony, of course, is this whole thing is as some of the architects of obamacare has said, the bill doesnt actually repeal or replace obamacare. In some places it keeps in place some of the worst parts of obamacare. It just doesnt spend any money on some of the folks who need help getting access to care. So you keep the core architecture in place and in some ways its the worst of both possible worlds and i think to call it even a repeal of obamacare is inaccurate at this stage. An issue that youre passionate about. We talked about here, combatting opioid addiction and there is funding for the bill in the fight and some doctors on the front line say it could make the Opioid Crisis worse. How do you see it . Thats absolutely right. The big concern here, if you think about this from the perspective of states like ohio, kentucky and West Virginia is theyre facing this incredibly terrible Public Health crisis and something they havent seen the likes of in 20, 30, 40 years and consequently, the folks suffering from the Opioid Epidemic are the addicts themselves or their children, they rely on this government assistance to access treatment which is a very effective treatment and it gives people a way of relapsing back into their addiction and if you pull the rug from under those people, youre not just going to make the addiction crisis worse. In other words, youre not going to make more people addicted to heroin and prescription pain pills. You may force their parents to take care of kids that theyre not able to take care of. You may force children to watch their parents suffer through addiction in the home as opposed to accessing a Treatment Center and i think thats the real big problem with this particular piece of legislation is it will pull the rug out from under a lot of people at the very moment when states like ohio are suffering from a terrible, Public Health crisis. One more thing. Change of subject. Theyre keeping the cameras out of the press briefings and theyve had oncamera briefings and do you think this is a stunt, and there is a good argument to be made for not doing press briefings on camera. In some cases its a stunt and the big thing that worries me is not this particular action by the white house and its the fact that if you look at the decades and the credibility of the press has gone down and down and down and thats something you see in the political spectrum and as we talked about before, you need to have a neutral arbiter of facts. When someone says something you need to have confidence whether what theyre telling you is true or whether its a lie and to have that foundational element in the public discourse, you need a press thats trusted by most people, and i think what the white house is doing is in some ways the end result that a lot of people dont trust the press because a lot of people look at what the white house is doing and theyre upset by it, but a lot of people look at that and say why would they let the press in the Briefing Room anyway . The press is full of fake news and theyre telling lies about the white house anyway. I think this is a bad symptom of something that should worry all of us in american political life which is the fact that a lot of people just dont trust the news media across the political spectrum anymore.

Rosa flores has their message for President Trump. I met with the mayors every single year i was president , and i always looked forward to it. While the 42nd president spoke to 250 mayors at the u. S. Mayors conference in miami beach. It was the 45th president who was on some of the mayors minds especially on issues such as climate change, immigration and health care. What they promised was more and better healthcare and lower cost. So thats really what america is looking for right now when you take a city like louisville and 100,000 people can lose healthcare. Theyre in the ballpark of 200,000 and massachusetts folks. This is, unfortunately, a political solution and theyre looking for a political win. And it wasnt just democrats. Here is the republican mayor of mesa, arizona, john giles. If we fumble this it could be the end of the Republican Party if people see us take Something Like obamacare and think the way to fix that is to make it worse, and im not sure what we have to offer as a party and the Republican Party and on sanctuary cities, a different story. We cooperate with ice. Mayor marty walsh who offered to turn bostons city hall into a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants say that theyve only created fear and mistrust. And with people who are undocumented in the city. On climate change, when President Trump exited the paris climate clima climate accord more than 300 mayors pledged to the agreement. We see no difference as a business, as well. So were moving full speed ahead with the environmental programs. Knowing that the president often turns to twitter and we asked these mayors what their message to President Trump would be in 140 characters or less. Be careful what you say, it may come back to bite you and once its out there, you cant take it back. Act responsible. Youre the president of the United States of america. People are watching you. Rosa flores, cnn, miami. A Homeland Security official warned congress that russian governmentlinked hackers potentially targeted as many as 21 States Election systems last year. This assessment was made with dhs and fbi cybersecurity officials. None of the targeted systems were involved in vote counting and an important thing to point out. Agency officials did not specify which states were affected and they likened the hacking attempt to someone rattling the doorknob and then not being able to get in.

Americans were angry and ashamed when the scandal first broke four years ago and cnn helped expose how veterans were being badly mistreated by the va medical system responsible for their care. President trump tried to address the problem, but many issues remain unsolved even today, and on friday, President Trump signed a new law that should give the va more power to fire bad employees, veterans and advocates say its past time the system gets fixed. Cnns drew griffin has more. First of all, the scandal erupted when whistle blowers bravely came forward and proved the va was lying about how long patients were waiting and in some cases dying while waiting for care. There were major shakeups. Can you please talk us to, director . Billions spent. And now muchimproved wait times reported by the va. That sounds good, but Deborah Draper with the u. S. Governments own Accountability Office has heard it all before. The numbers that theyre reporting based on their work, theyre not reliable numbers. Period. Period. Draper is the director for Health Care Investigations for the gao which has labeled Va Health Care high risk in terms of government management and has done so since 2015. Draper says even today the vas wait time data is simply not to be believed. Theyre longer. Oh, yes. In almost every case we find the actual wait times are longer than what the va is reporting. It has been nearly four years since cnn began exposing the secret wait lists and fabricated wait times and delays in care and the patients who died waiting for that care. Its been three years since Congress Approved 16 billion in additional funding so the va could fix those problems. In fact, since 2009, the vas budget has nearly doubled, and yet, the problems and some would say the lies at the va persist. Still not resolved and still happening. Eric handle is the former lead investigator, for the Congressional Committee that led a yearslong investigation into veterans dying while waiting for care. Yes, he says, then as now, the va is not telling the truth about wait times. None of it. The office of the Inspector General says the same thing and it was that way in 2014 when he reported on the wait time scandal. It is that way in 2017. You still cannot trust vas information. In fact, just this march, a damning va Inspector General on seven medical centers in the southeast found patients waited an average of 61 days for Specialty Care. Two months and the report found many patients and Specialty Care services ng experienced long wait times which were not accurately reflected in vas calculated wait times, in other words, the wait times were being manipulated. Just one of multiple examples a Mental Health patient seeking care the vas electronic scheduling system showed a zeroday wait time when the veteran actually waited 120 days. The va Inspector General discontinued or canceled an estimated 4,600 appointments. What is it like to make a medical appointment at the va . Hi, joe. I need to make appointments. Tracy rodriguez invited us to find out. Her husband served three tours in iraq and afghanistan. He relies on the va for health care. April 24th, she sat down at a Kitchen Table and let us listen while she tried to make three medical appointments. I think they have one person answering the phone over there or something. The phone call itself took more than half an hour. He needs to see urology. As soon as youve got. Definitely sooner than july or june. The wait for yourology, two minutes. Surprisingly, primary care could happen in six weeks and when she tries to get an appointment for an eye doctor. September . Yeah. Five months, about normal, she says, for her. One out of three is not bad. The va wouldnt respond to direct questions on the unreliability of the wait time calculations and instead, the v ascent us comments from the new secretary, david shillkin in which he cites va statistics which say, quote, 22 of veterans are seen on a sameday basis, unquote. The va secretary has acknowledged much more needs to be done and that hes committed to being very transparent on how long vets are waiting for care. Drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. Thank you, drew.

People was up on their houses and had shotguns and thats one thing about we watch out for each other, black, white, everybody, Community Work together. Its just a good place to live, i think. We are joined flou berkeley, california, thanks for being with us. There you were in the heart of coal country, President Trump got a lot of support there after promising to bring back jobs to that area. How do the people you met think hes doing as president . I mean, i think that theyre still hoping upon hope that that happens. Because theres not a sense that theres choices throughout. Theres a lot of people working on bringing other industries there, but thats what President Trump should be focussing on. How can we bring other industries not Getting Energy up again. Thats not a good thing to hope for, its those jobs. Now a lot of of a lay shan residents get their Health Coverage from obamacare. Are they concerned about what theyre hearing right now about Health Care Reform in washington . I mean, i think, theyre still a lot people as we say across the country, still believe that hes got some ultimate plan. I think theres a lot of them that think maybe theres something theyre not understanding, a lot of them dont trust the Mainstream Media sources to tell them thats not the truth. But so there is hope that there, and i think theres still a lot of hope in trump there. Thats interesting. And now you, you spent a lot of time there and have been to a lot of other places, what stood out to you there in Kentucky Coal country most . The thing that stood out most to me was that most know that coal is a pass. They know that the coal will have destroyed the coal industry destroyed the environment in large part and they know they should be looking towards something else, the problem is they dont know what what else is. Coal is not the place. Dont know where aels to go otherwise. The former mayoral candidate there in the town you visited wants young people to stay and to find jobs, i mean, do you think thats realistic that there are enough opportunities to make that happen . I mean, i thinkest that all about education and people who are sort of like invested in staying there. I mean, as ive said before, it was not long ago the Silicon Valley was a someplace you stopped between San Francisco and l. A. And then the industry comes out of almost nothing there. And i think that if the education gets better there, if the School Systems gets better, if people feel like theres a reason to say, you dont know whats going to happen. And stop looking in the past and look toward the future. There are people with there doing that. I want to be clear about that. Thank you as always. And we look forward to your episode tonight.

They can only afford to lose two gop lawmakers, and if the role call were to happen right now, at least five republicans say they vote no.
