The major medicaid changes remain and there are some decisions and the major thing we have to remember about medicaid. The would change the structure. Instead of being a state program maybe a zika outbreak or. Urricane or something in and there are also medicaid, some other changes that include, changing a formula that would provide more money to help provide uncompensated care. Say. It is one change that is important. Host let me talk to about medicaid. It is a fundamental issue. If you are a governor of a state and you receive a block grant and you cap out, what happens to those individuals who the health care . Guest that is a decision you and your legislature have to make. If you have more expenditures than the cap level, do you reduce the number of beneficiaries . Do you reduce the Services Offered . Do you require beneficiaries to pay more . These are tough choices that have caused concern for folks. Vacate covers 70 million americans medicaid covers 70 million americans. Making it a cap allotment and exposing governors and legislators to the you are talking that is a great concern. The republicans feel it has to be reduce on the federal side. It made this decision in this bill to repeal and replace the afford will care act the Affordable Care act. Host this is why we are facing a 20 trillion debt . Guest it has grown. There has been a need for it. That is what the advocates would explain if you have two thirds of people in medicaid, how do you meet the need . Would you do with it . Growth in federal spending on Health Care Programs and entitlements, is one of the drivers of the deficit. It is what what people want to look at. Host this is from the washington post. Story,essence of the more than 400,000 state residents in colorado receive some form of medicaid assistance. Where does that put a key republican senators politics behind the needs of those folks in colorado . The governor will have to foot a part of the bill . Guest it is difficult. The governor is part of the senate leadership. About how yesks to to this hand. That is the difficult choice. Do you want to support the party and put yourself back home . Host our phone lines are open and we are defining them a little differently so we can include all of you in this conversation. If you are currently part of the Health Insurance plan put in place but barack obama, 202 7488000. For those who are medicaid recipients, 202 7488001. Uninsured, 202 7488002. Others, 202 7488003. We will get your calls in a moment. What is the source of the money for heroin addiction . Guest the repeal of the to be in place some of the taxes on higher income individuals. If you make over 200,000 as an individual or 250,000 as a couple, they have a tax on unearned income. It would increase your medicare tax by 0. 9 . They havent repealed of the republican they have repealed it generate money for that kind of program and giving more to states and insurers. It is a big chunk of the money. The medicaid changes are going to take her on 770 billion dollars. For continuity sake, if we are talking about taxes, some of the taxes repealed on the device makers, does repeals stay. Host for those participating in the informal care act, what would in the Affordable Care act what would stay in place . Guest you would still have your Health Insurance exchange. It is your menu of options. You may still get federal assistance, subsidies, tax subsidies to buy your coverage. It would change slightly in the senate bill. In Affordable Care act, it goes to 400 below the poverty line. Under the republican plan, it would drop to 350 below the poverty line. If you qualify for cost sharing assistance, both subsidies would continue for a couple of years. Some of the things would stay. What could always change since Affordable Care act was a limited, if one of these bills became law, is your menu of choices could still change. Insurers go in and out, the plant you may have may be gone next year. Host how do people currently have insurance . How many get it through the informal care act . How many get it get through their employers . Guest about 11. 7 of americans were uninsured in the Second Quarter of 2017. You have about 150 million americans getting insurance under their employers. The Medicare Program is around 58 million. The Medicaid Program is around 78 million. One thing that has been constant is the Affordable Care act and been for wrangling has a fairly small group of people. It is about 24 million folks who have gotten their coverage. Host our guest is mary agnes carey. We will get to your phone calls. In kentucky with senator rand paul opposing the bill. Uninsured, in kentucky. Good morning. Caller good morning. Am uninsured. I am in the v. A. I get medication to have me out. They only have three choices you can take. Host thank you. Guest it sounds like he is getting coverage from the v. A. , the veterans admi a ministratio. The veterans of ministration the veteran o administration. From will go to david georgia we will go to david from georgia. Caller on cspan, i saw a wonderful segment on this subject. A female doctor and the man from the cato institute. The mail was thornell the conversation and the doctor was saying we are the male was throwing conversation and the doctor was saying to waste our paperwork. Ononder if you could comment the copperheads of health care 46gram, which was started in in 1946 and 1947 when truman was having the big debate. Why cant we go back to some sort of universal thing with the government . I have met many of the people in do county, in the state who the health care for us in a did a great job. Guest when you are talking about insurance at the county or state level, it is probably still delivered or administered by private Insurance Companies. The interesting point is the paperwork and administrative cost. Could those be examined . Could they be trimmed . It is an ongoing debate. How can you make more costeffective, less frustrating on the paperwork side . Before will care act the Affordable Care act try to examine this. Thatcouldnt find a policy cover their preexisting condition. This is an evolving discussion about the role of insurers, the will of government, and so on. It is ongoing. Host the color made a reference on a conversation we had on monday, debating a singlepayer system. It is Available Online anytime. Check it out at cspan. Org. From georgia, you are part of the Affordable Care act . Caller yes, i love it and i am glad it is in place. For working people who cannot afford insurance in the past. I want to say that my brother also is part of the aca. Has a lot of medical problems. To the emergency room when he would have a flareup or a crises. Doctorsis able to go to under the Affordable Care act. He works minimum wage at a restaurant. He could not afford health care. My question is this where is the profit or loss of money Insurance Companies have suffered as they go under the aca . Areeems like a lot of them in rural areas. I am in april area i am in a rural area. Sayinge justified it by they are losing money. I want you to explain or tell us the amount of money they have lost. Are they using this to keep the things as they were . Sayother thing i wanted to , as is new plan ,nderstand it, is nothing but as Chuck Schumer set, a bunch of junk. There is nothing in there that is going to make health care more affordable and give us Greater Health care. Yes, we have access. You can have access to anything. To have access to a bunch of junk is not doing service to the american people. Host we will stop you there, thank you. Mary agnes carey. Guest she asked a lot of good questions. I want to talk about her point, you have insurers in rural areas and markets that have decided not to offer obamacare coverage. In particular, arizona, iowa, tennessee are having issues. It varies by county. It depends on the insurance company. The general theme is when the Affordable Care act came in, people like her brother, got coverage. It would help him get out of the er and reduce costs. Because he comes into the system sick, it is expensive initially. Insurance had people sick people coming in initially where the Affordable Care act did not attract the young, healthier people want to get. Insurers getting in may have under price their products. Now, they have to make up for the factors we are talking about, sicker people coming in and not healthier people coming in. Insurances are trying to figure out what this means. In an urban market, you tend to have more competition with providers. Can get a better deal. In the rural markets, you cannot do it as much with providers setting prices at a certain level. Insurers have been concerned about the Trump Administration has not committed f ully. Some insurance are saying to to thes are today, we are increasing our prices. I would point them to our Health Policy research colleagues. Foundation putly out a report that they are starting to benefit for the First Quarter of 2017. It is an interesting read. Host we welcome our listeners on cspan radio, are conversation with mary agnes carey. She covers health for Kaiser Health news. Two. She began her career two things. Under this Senate Republican bill, you could keep your child on the plan until the age of 26. Guest yes. Host catastrophic care insurance, what is that . Guest it is a provision of the Affordable Care act that is a more limited coverage. Three doctors visits a year, preventative care, that sort of thing. Is open to people 30 and higher and you can use a tax credit to access the coverage. This is a way to get a plan that may suit your needs and get a subsidy to do that. It is an interesting development. I do not have the numbers of whom it in role. May enroll. Host is there enough in the plan to keep you healthy for those sick . Guest most insurers want the rims for the reason you site. If you are a you cite. If youre a diabetic, they want you on a Wellness Program to monitor it aired the formal care act allows linkage of premiums. It is definitely an important element. Host deborah joins us with medicaid from florida. Caller hello, thank you for taking my call. I am in florida and i have been on disability since 1989. In my on . Host you are am ii on . Host you are, how long have you been on medicaid and disability . Since i been on medicaid 1989. I got Social Security disability. It is 600 something dollars. It is not that much money. I get access to 60. Two heart valves. They did not pump. They can up normally. I have stress disorder. Ive been taking medication since 1989. I was wondering how it would affect florida . I know it change from straight managed medicaid and medicare. Today, i have an appointment, which i have every month. The county iout of gave youause the state have if they do not they do not offer my appointment. County the doctor in the my friend will be driving me out of the county to see someone. Will bendering trumpcare not have medicaid coverage . To. Ed the medicaid host i think you are talking about the caps to be put in place in floridas and other state. In other states. Guest she has raised the ongoing discussions. He was not on the Medicaid Expansion for it she has been on it a while. It seems that she is on it Medicaid Managed Care program. Yet on the point, if florida, if other states have a cap allotment and their needs increase, what happens to people like deborah or other people on Medicaid Programs . They want to manage their Medicaid Programs, but what does that mean . Do you have to cover fewer services . Would you require higher copays . States would have to make the decisions themselves. It is part of the proponents talk about state flex ability flux ability flexability. Spending will still increase every year. , the cut year period is a 26 drop in what was expected. Legislators and the governor of florida and all over the country will have to be looking at their medicaid allotments and asking the questions. Host lets take florida as an example. Do you know how much they get approximately for medicaid recipients . They wouldhat potentially get if he was signed into law . Guest i do not know. You can go online and find that number. I do not host i do not mean to put you on the spot. Youre the expert in all Things Health care. Kathleen, youre on. Caller i never hear it to melt programs discussed. I have been on hmos since i was a young girl. I hear people talking about the free care offered in other countries. They do not understand in the countries, all of my family lives in a country in which there is whatever you want to call it, the government takes care of the education of the doctors in exchange for which they give so many years. In england and ireland and , as soon as the doctors pay back their debt, they leave and go into private care. People here do not seem to understand that there is another component to the that nobody talks about. I think the hmos in the clinical system are fine. I believe people should be responsible for their own health care. When you see people abuse for instance, diabetes, they say it is hard to stay on a diet. It is not fair for people who abuse the Health System to those of us who dont to pay for them. Put into at should good clinical system. The idea you have to have your own doctor what nonsense. Ireland, it is a clinical system. You have the doctor who is on call to treat you. You do not have the luxury of going to private doctors and private offices when you are what Many Americans feel is straight caller is street care. Host she is talking about caller she is talking about guest shes done them a close facilities. Doctors get treated at their hospitals. Versus the idea, you may get your own personal physician, you need a particular xray or mri, you go to a Radiology Center to get that. The test is sent back to your doctor. About the clinical system where you see the dr. On call. That is how the doctor on ca ll. That is how it works. There is a lot of preference for people to individually see their doctor. It is something that is common here. Host we went to the website and there is an interactive map. Guest 30 go. Host here is guest they are you go there you go. Host here is the map. In the state of florida, the spending is 12 million. Million inre, 485 tax credits for the marketplace in the state of florida. Is an interactive with each of the states it is interactive with each of the states. Guest people can look and see how these particular provisions will affect them. Host lets go to steve joining kathleen from florida, good morning. Caller i was just on. Host yes, you are, we will go to steve in michigan. Caller i would like to do three quick points. You will not like them. One, in december 2015, you heard of the auto manual . The only way the formal care act can work is if everyone in the country is on it. That is what he said. And any bille the republicans is never going to work. It is going to take up money. Three, the Insurance Companies, the doctors, and their went to the white house. Obama made deals with them. Republicans cannot touch the informal care act because it is law. Everything that has happened is because of the Affordable Care act. To themore money Insurance Companies is where the republicans cut it off. If the Affordable Care act is going up because it was designed to do that. The thank you for call. Guest this plan was never to design was never designed to have every american on it. They worked hard to reserve the Employer Health care system. Summer ofrrect in the 2009, the insurers, hospitals, and other entities in the Health Care Systems went to the white house and talk to president obama to get a deal. Theou might know, Affordable Care act was on track. It was in hearings. It was going to happen. If you know you were going to be part of a big piece of legislation, you want to get in front of it and cut your best deal. That summer, we had a scoop at Kaiser Health news with hospitals going in and talking. It is true. Host this is the headline in california. Is a barebones policy, she talked about it earlier. What is the principle behind a Skeletal Health care plan . Guest there are complaints that the package of 10 benefits all plans have to cover is too much for some people. If you do not have told you, you may not care about pediatric care. Are notre a man and married to anyone who has a baby, you may not care about Maternity Care. That is too much the plans are too big. Government mandating what has to be covered in your Health Insurance plan . Should not be that way if you do not want that much. You should not have to buy it. The issue analysts are concerned is the segmentation of the risk pool. All the healthy folks go to the limited plans and the sicker individuals are people that need Mental Health services or Maternity Care go to the other plant that you do other plans, you do not have the balance. The Insurance Industry is talking about that. They are concerned about amendment. This bill could still change, this could be dropped. It is it could not be the final product. Into the next week, it is important to watch what is happening in the senate. Different provisions of the bill can go in and out. Host it is an open process. If you have the barebones insurance coverage, what would it not cover . Guest it depends on what you pick. Lets say you picked a plan had a cap a hospitalization. Maybe a 50,000 cap, you would still be covered. If you costs beyond that point, they may fall on you. Host that is my question, if you reach that point. Lets say you cannot pay beyond that, who will pay . Guest the hospital will get you to pay it. Host and if you cant . Guest you make be able to negotiate with them to get it lower. It would go to a Debt Collection agency. Againsty be liens her house or a credit report. They are making changes on that as well. A story recover that in a story on Kaiser Health news. If you no longer have the Affordable Care act act removed lifetime caps and annual caps on coverage. If go to an essential you go to a barebones plan, you will not have the caps. This idea, in the Senate Republican plan and House Republican plan, options for states to get waivers that do not cover the essential health benefits. An essential health benefits, like Mental Health services, is not covered, you are no longer with an annual cap or lifetime limit on that service. It is an intricate interplay between all of these. To be fair, i have been covering this from the beginning. I heard numerous people call or send me email saying i do not want to buy a plan that is this comprehensive. The landse some of were the plans were grandfathered. Shouldnt consumers have a choice to buy what they want . Our lete invite me invite the audience, we are focusing on the Republican Health care bill. Between the joints us from board victoria joints us from oregon, go ahead. Caller good morning us from joins oregon, go ahead. Caller good morning. My daughter lost her job. She is single and a diabetic. The company was bought out. She could not afford cobra. She signed up through a health coop. She got subsidies. Three paying 81 a month, weeks after she got her insurance card. She wound up sick. She wound up with three different antibiotics in nature to urgent care. It wouldve cost her more, but it is not a free ride. She had to pay for it, but it was about half the cost. Eight months later, she got a great job with great Health Insurance and her salary went up almost doubled from what she was making. The next year, she had to pay taxes back on all of the subsidies. It is not a free ride. Thele think everybody is on program has a be canada. She was happy to pay back the taxes because she had the care at the time. Host we will get a response. Guest she is talking about if you are if you have an Affordable Care act subsidy and your income changes, you may be required to pay some of it back. Luckily, she was lucky you may be required to pay back some of it. Ishould say, i think she referring to kaiser permanente. I am aware of the company. Kaiser health news and Kaiser Family foundation are not affiliated with heiser prevented. It is confusing for people, but we do not have affiliation. I want to point this out, on the family kaiser foundation, an interactive map breaking down county by county and statebystate, the differences under the current law versus the current republican bill. Dennis from pennsylvania, good morning. Good morning, you are on the air. Caller thank you for taking my call. The aca ford under two years. I am now on medicare here my comments she just touched on part of this. People talk about the people going to the emergency room. If you do not own anything, it is fine. If you own anything, they cannot just cover you and forget about it. You are going to end up they are going to end up taking your house or whatever you own because just like the coming i worked for, if every showed off and give them a free product, we have been we would have been out of business. What i was covered under the aca, it was the best insurance i ever had. I worked at the same company for 42 years. The cost of medicaid is exactly what paul ryan would like to do to medicare. Tois giving you a voucher pay and buy your own insurance. It would only go up by regular inflation. As we know, medical inflation has been much higher. Every year, you will be responsible for paying the difference the voucher did not cover. Every year, the amount of money you would pay would increase and increase an increase in increase. Have a nice day and thank you. Host thank you. Guest very interesting, he raises the idea paul and many republicans have supported premium support in the Medicare Program. A set beneficiaries amount of money and allowing a menu ofoose from plants. It was tried a few years ago. It landed with a political thud. Looking at the medicaid changes he mentioned, in the Senate Republican bill, there is capped spending in the house bill. The question is over how fast the amount of money from medicaid would rise . Bill,2024 in the senate as it is constructed, medicaid to regulare inflation, not medical inflation, which would be higher. Host a couple of tweets to buyd be nucice fire protection. Guest that is the thing. Most people want you to get a before you can use it. It speaks to the idea of the individual mandate that it is required. Republicans hate that, it is gone in both bills. If you do not have continuous coverage, you may have to set up a more money. They are trying to get at that in another way. It has been a key point and a battle point. Do you force people to buy insurance or not . Host robertsons and with this robertson with this tweet tost one i would like take another point. Republicans have added so much more money in the senate bill, about 70 million more. I have seen analysis in the last 34 hours say because the bill what allow people to buy the barebones plans and a lot of money at insurers, you destabilize the market you are trying to stabilize with the additional money. Rand paul says it is a giveaway and he is not on board with the bill. Host from new mexico, good morning. Caller good morning. I have a few comments to make. First of all, no one should have to lose their home in order to have quality care. Number two, being in new mexico, we have very limited Health Care Providers that will take medicare. Im not talking about medicaid, im talking about medicare. They refuse to take medicare, leaving us in a lurch. What are we going to do . New mexico needs a major improvement. I live here, i have to live here. This is my home. We have some of the poorest health care in the united states. Host thank you. Guest i find that is interesting. I will look it up when i get to the office. It would be a problem. If you are in a rural area, there is a limited number of physicians and providers. If they do not take medicare coverage, it would be a problem. Host does the republican bill Fund Planned Parenthood . Guest it would be a oneyear probation on planned parenthood funding. Eye of Susan Collins, who said she is not for the bill. It also,ulcast Lisa Murkowski from alaska. Host explain it. Guest it would be a prohibition on funding for one year. In some rural areas, when you hear Susan Collins talk about it, she represents made. Und plannedot f parenthood, you may be it may be where you go to get your Birth Control or screenings to your we used to get Mentor Graham for breastcancer your mammogram for breastcancer screening. If you take it away, are you a denying them a choice . Host there is a local debate. There is a procedural reason, can you explain . Guest a may be taken out because of the bird . Host yes, the vertebral. The bird rule. Guest it is under reconciliation. Have impact onto the budget. Every single provision, what , is happen, as it proceeds the bird bath. They look at every provision. Some of these things may be taken out because they do not apply with the reconciliation rules. Due to a it is senator in West Virginia. Caller i have had insurance in the past. I put so much money into it when i was younger. I am still healthy. After a while, it kept going up and up. 45,000 into it, never had a claim, anything that went wrong with me was under the deductible. I like, i want a home and i cannot do both. Finally, i wanted a home and i could not do both. When i had a problem, i learned this from the doctor, i would offer cash. Not everybody had it, but i had enough. The drop in rate was incredible. The colonoscopy went from 2700 to 900. I said i have cash, what can we do . An eye surgery was 470, a very critical eye surgery. I should have lost that eye. I talked to both of these doctors in they say so much money goes through the healthInsurance Industry that they complain to them. These are people who have less time invested in educating themselves. They make more money than we do. They do not know how to put a bandaid on. Meanwhile, we are responsible for you could die here. We do something wrong there was this remarkable drop in prices when you could offer cash. It illustrates which they told me, this is how much we are making. It would be just as much as if you had insurance. That is how much they be out of us. I think it is a bit part of the problem. Problem. Part of the countries, i am familiar with a guy who used to run the health of switzerland, most of those countries cap what can be charged. A certain amount, no more than a night in the hospital. Host thank you for putting on the table. Guest it is interesting, he brings up the facet of negotiating with a medical provider if he does not have Health Insurance. If your doctor does not take insurance, one of the earlier callers talk about doctors not getting not accepting her insurance. Acceptanceaob, the of benefits. The numbers are always different. Insurers are trying to negotiate lower prices with doctors, discounts, or increase their profit margins. If a physician will look at you and say, if the Insurance Committee pays me 900 and you pay the 900, i will take it. There is no claim that has to get process. It is not have to through the staff. It is not have to go through the insurer. They do not have to wait for the transfer of funds. Abouttalking to a friend a long time physician who no longer takes insurance. I think it is happening more in an affluent area. Thinkhink where they the people can handle this type of thing. Try to negotiate and talk to them. See if you can get a change. I think it is fascinating what he did. Host and you get the explanation of benefits, isnt that a game . Guest it is all involved. They know insurers are not going to pay the full amount. There is no corp. On the prices that they charge. There is no curb on the prices that they charge. Host a tweet, why doesnt survey woman need coverage . Needternity coverage maternity coverage . Guest she would need medicaid. A cover anr in array of benefits. Host another tweet the more money government throws at it, the more the cost. To kathleen from ohio. You are part of the Affordable Care act . Caller i take care of my 89yearold mother. Fulltime,ree year prior to that, parttime. She worked 47 years and paid into the medicare system. She had been on traditional medicare with the united net covering what medicare did not. About three or four years ago, an agent came in and provided her with you services. They switched her to Medicare Medicaid in ohio, which has aeve works monopoly on privatizing the medicaid. We go to the doctor now, havetly, she needed to april digest look at her tell dive a digest a po podiastrist. They did not take medicaid. She paid into it for years. Why do doctors not take medicaid . Thought i would have to take her to an emergency room to deal with this. I have been exposed to Nursing Homes. He was in a nursing home. They paid into the system all of their lives. Once they went through their why, withgh the private to profit Nursing Homes, the last one she was in was 10,000 of that per unit per bed. He is a world war ii veteran. Care. D 2400 of his the rest is paid by medicaid. Why would the government why when the government is paying, why cant we put a cap . Why cant Nursing Homes be paynded to hire more aides, them more . The ratio is at port. That is why you have the falls and breaking hips. She raised a lot of fantastic points. On the medicaid issue, beneficiaries have problems getting access to specialists. The medicaid reamers that rates below private insurance. Homes. Ked about nursing we are talking about longterm care. It is not unusual to have the 100,000 dollars a year or higher. Placing caps on how much Nursing Homes could charge you for care, states may have mandated staff to patient ratio. I am not sure what it is in the state of ohio. More of thele age, folks will need longterm care. She talked about people going through their pensions and savings. More and more people move into nursing home cade. Shareid is paying a great of it. Be a great may discussion. They will talk about how offensive it is to provide the care. The people have multiple conditions, they may be bedridden. It is a really thing to wrestle with. Host my toughest question is next the front page of the washington time. Tworepeal loses votes. Senator Mitch Mcconnell included a version of to let insurers the bill would also keep obamas 3. 8 percent tax on income and the panel tax hike on earners. Republican leaders use some of the money to add what they call these the stability fund. Another 45 billion would be invested in heroin addiction treatment. It is it enough . Guest it is unclear and it is a moving target. We talked about how the bill. Mitch mcconnell is known for talking to his members, working with his members. He has 52 republicans, yes the hold everybody else to vote to proceed to the bill. ,e will be working diligently trying to talk to members about what they need. With aurma was meeting lot of republican moderates yesterday, including representatives of states with the problem with the opioid epidemic. It is a fullcourt press. It is early. There talking friday, original Budget Office score is the congressional Budget Office score is out next week. They are trying to get enough votes to get it moving. Host if it passes the senate, does the house passed the senate bill . Physical to the conference . Does it go to the conference . The house is being kept abreast to what is happening. The house would take the senate bill and passed it in an ideal world. You may see conservatives concerned about the fact the taxes on the higher income folks are going to remain. It is money we talked about helping state and insurers keep cost table. They may have issues with it. Additional concerns about bare bone plans conservatives like it. Definitely have more discussion. I do not think we will see an open conference where it is on cspan and we can watch it and sit in the room. I dont think that is what will be happening. It is unclear if the House Republicans are owing to take all these changes. I think it is unknown. Host we hope you tune in next week. A quick question from jodey, we have one minute or two left. You are uninsured, good morning. Caller good morning. Listening to the relative to the realistic monetary discussion. Underemployed and for four years, i had three jobs where i brought home 1000 a month, five injured dollars or so goes 500 or so goes into rent. Host you have to ask a question, we only have a minute left. What is the question . Caller how is someone who is coming home 100 coming home montha month paid 150 150. 150 oay 150. Offer pay guest if you are given an offer, you are not offered a subsidy. Even that it is a big chunk of are money, she cannot get one of the subsidies to help her get coverage. Host who are you keeping an ion . Guest i am keeping an eye on a variety of senators. A senator from West Virginia is interesting. She is looking for funding for opioid epidemics. Pullman from ohio is another issue. Host so many issues. We are looking over the bill, the have not made a decision. Guest they have been really careful. People are trying to keep their pattern dry. Healthary agnes carey, a expert, she falls this on Kaiser Health n senate may be taking up the bill next week and will probably occur after the congressional Budget Office scores the plan. We posted the bill at cspan rgan follow live coverage on span.
