Im clear yet exactly when they are expected to lead. If you want to watch me. In its entirety on republican repeal and replacement though, head over to cspan. We are here on cspan2 until 10 at it this morning. Until then, we want to take your calls on republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. Find the democrats transfixed. Republicans turned the event 2027488001. Independent 2027488002. We watch her thoughts on the overnight hearing and the effort underway by republicans feared a few tweets inside the hearing room. I am camping chair overnight, maybe morning he says, but weve been up all night in the house energy and Commerce Committee working together to reform our Health Care System. 18 hours and counting when he said that tweets. More from democrat jerry mcnerney. Now heading into the 23rd hour of the energy and commerce markup. Fighting to protect our care. Again, watch that live on cspan or hear about it and the absurd here. Kay and alexandria, virginia appeared a democrat. Good morning. Caller hi, how are you doing . Host are you with us . Go ahead. Caller first of all, i want to know why these are not going to be released for how many people will be without health care. I want to find out from him, does he have any statistics as to how many jobs, how Many American jobs are being taken away from americans. And also, to follow up with that, does he know how Many Americans car services. If you can give me some statistics on this. The reason why most people voted on whatever issues and misinformation. They just told one of the callers that americans are not being laughed at. Yes, americans are, in europe and elsewhere. America is actually on the fact that there is diversity. That makes America Great. People like you will come attending issue. And i made the plan. Its just talking about this debate continuing after the overnight series. We saw the ways and Means Committee and neither debate about 4 15 this morning, and in their markup the American Health care bill and ongoing. Kentucky, republican. Deborah, good morning. Caller hi, im somewhat concerned about the reporting about the new health care thats going to be passed for people 50 years and over paying five times the premium of what they are paying now. And im also concerned about this immigration thing. I think they need illegals need to be out of this country. They are coming in illegally and stuff. Theres a reason they are coming in a legal. If theyve got something to hide, it is why they are coming in illegally. If they want to come in this country, i was taught when i went to elementary school, there is a procedure to go through before you could become a u. S. Citizen, before you are allowed to get here. They need to make those to where it needs to go back to the old school. Host on the first part of your comments and premium issue, heres what i can tell you about the American Health care bill courtesy of the comparison between the republican bill and the Affordable Care act. The republican bill would change the way subsidies are distributed by using agents by using age instead of income as a way to calculate how much people received. Tax credits available to individuals using less than 75,000, that they would be capped for higher earners pay the subsidy would be 2000 for a person under 30, double that for people over 60. The bill would spend a Health Care Plan that qualify for subsidies. Weve also spent some time yesterday on our program breaking down some of these issues with representative, one of the reporters, julie wagner covering this extensively. If you want to go back and watch her comment or not, that segment available cspan. Org maxine, independent, good morning. Good morning. Thank you so much for cspan over the years. My comments are about the health care situation. Our constitution, i wish he would contain one where word. The word would be simplify, simplify, simplify. Congress is not at all simplified on this matter. My next point is they talk about giving people choice, free choice. Theres one thing about which we have no choice. We have no choice about having a body. We all have a body and all bodies break down with time one way or the other. Theres no choice. My last thought is i resent the private insurers earning money and my stockholders earning money on my health. I do believe they should be discussing health instead of discussing tax is and all other financial and taxi matters on health. Host before you go, im your first question, republicans talking a lot on the simplify issue about the size of their bills in the Affordable Care act. Something around 130 pages or so of their bill versus the nearly dozen pages of the Affordable Care act that show them sidebyside often. If that campaign that you like about this bill . Caller simply show and tell. I was very unimpressed with mr. Spencers presentation. You dont hear mention of how ended doesnt sound simple when you hear the series. Thank you. Host kevin is in arkansas. Republican, kevin, good morning. Caller yes, im republican. Obviously just said that. I said that about two other republicans, especially the congressmen. I noticed last night, late at night, almost 1 00 in the morning. I was still watching cspan. I heard during the debate about a tax cut of nearly, i think for people who are neither 200 come in 250,000 or more. But since ive been watching the rest of that, if not heard anything about any other taxcut included in this bill. I just want to know for republicans, will we see taxcut for other classes besides high earners. Host what kept you going all night . Why so much interest . Caller well, this is a big deal for a lot of people. Im 31 years old. Im starting to lose my health. And so its become an important thing for me also. Host kevin, thanks for the call. Mary, franklin, tennessee. Democrat good good morning. Caller hi. I hope you dont get mad at me, but i am so furious about that lady that called in. This greedy, godless, racist country. Somebody has to do some rain. Im a catholic. I was taught to love my neighbor. They are wasting their time on those silly debate. The republicans keep taking all of, you know host the amendment is filed. Caller i am just sick over what has gone on in our country. Host mary, on the amendments filed comments in his im not. Democrats have about 40 to 50 amendments that they filed. Theyve gone through about 12 of them. In terms of timing, the latest we can say on this is perhaps another four hours or so live on cspan if you want to watch it. We at the washington journal today on cspan2 because the overnight Session Congress committee continues. John, springfield, virginia. Go ahead. Caller good morning. As a comment more so than a question. Ive been a republican my entire life. The runtime is executive Vice President conservative majority and major supporter of ronald reagan. I have to say even as the republic can with all the obamacare that the republicans did before was voted into law, they seem to have no willingness whatsoever to listen to the other side as far as marking up this particular plan from the gop. There proves to me once again congress is no longer congress. Its two parties. Im a Firm Believer in george washington. But anyone who affiliates themselves the party ran for office is creating treason in the process. We are no longer a government. We are two parties trying to maintain control and they completely ignored anything anyone on the other side has to say, whether being liberal or conservative. I think its time to wake up and realize they were voted in by the people, for the people and they need to stop their own personal agendas and political propaganda and begin working for the people as a staunch republican for 40 years, and at the point now where im totally fed up with both sides of congress. Host do remember watching the Health Care Debate 20092010 . Did you feel the lack of the two parties to Work Together during those debates . Caller i saw little bit more willingness on the part of the democrats to attend some of the pages are public is proposed. It was still a cat and dog fight. They are not working together. They do everything they can to make the other part of the bat, regard this as something they suggest has merit or not. Its got to the point where it like two kids, one for dallas and then once they read in span. The redskins fan you hate the cowboys in the cowboys and the cowboys indicate the red and then theres no talking to you. Thats the Political Parties have begun. Polarized vehicles of our government they cannot Work Together. Some he needs to be done and im not sure where the power is in our government to accomplish it because the federal government has already been served many of the powers in the constitution reserved for the state. So they are not even used in the constitution anymore in the way it was meant to be used. They are using it to their advantage as opposed to the advantage of the people. Host john, springfield, virginia. Talk about the energy and Commerce Committee hearing to mark up the Health Care Bill as well as the overnight hearing in the ways and Means Committee. Energy and commerce is still going on now. Not too long ago, Debbie Dingell saying she is in the market. Congresswoman or michigan. In america, preparing to offer an amendment to protect senior access to longterm care. Encouraging viewers to watch live on cspan. The take our viewers live now. Term services and supports. Most americans are unable to afford to cover their longterm care needs out of pocket. Most americans rely on medicaid to access these services and medicaid pays for more than 50 of all Longterm Services and support in america. We are talking primarily nursing home here. For that reason, why is concerned with the republican proposal to change medicaid as we know it. Such changes could restrict access to Important Services and leave seniors with nowhere to turn. Family caregivers are stretched to capacity providing services to loved ones. In fact come across the country, 17 of working adults provide unpaid care for family members or friends. With approximately 10,000 seniors turning 65 each day and with projections that more than 70 of individuals over the age of 65 will need longterm care, it is clear the birds of longterm care will only increase. Thats why we have to protect the services they medicaid as well as identify another reliable catastrophic option to pay for longterm care coverage. We talked a lot and provide for longterm care without having to go through to spend on probation, which we both afford. Thats why in addition to assuring the republican plan does not harm seniors, they harm seniors, they call for comprehensive Longterm Services and support financing system in this country. This amendment would reauthorize critical programs and incentive by states to provide more services in the home, help change the balance to allow more seniors to access home and communitybased services so they can age in the home. I urge my colleagues who feel that we must provide not only Longterm Services to Nursing Homes that are good and beneficial, but also home care alternatives to it if you believe in that come you should support this amendment and support protecting the health and Retirement Security for seniors and their families. I yield to the gentleman from maryland. Host that amendment that congressman frank alone is talking about of about four dozen amendment that democrats still have to talk about today. Unclear when the energy and Commerce Committee hearing is going to end. It began at 10 00 yesterday morning and we are approaching 23 hours at this point. Head on over to cspan or stay here on cspan2 with us until 10 00. Bermans been waiting independent. My comment is americans are the losers. The reason i say this as there is no way someone who doesnt have an idea of what is going on to make changes. They are not patient. Theyre just regular people who make calls. The reason they are so much stuff as they have no idea what theyre doing. They dont know what is the problem. Apparently based on they have no idea what theyre doing. My recommendation would be, why dont they use the va system . It has a stabilization work they can stop and make it fair or pick up things from whatever part to me what people need and what people dont need. Unless they do that, americans will be the losers. Host when bernie, maryland, republican. Good morning. How do you think republicans have handled this repeal and replace process so far . Caller well, i think would be a whole lot better if they get together on the repeal started things. When it comes to health care, medicare is something that goes handinhand when we pay for that. They earn their money and pay our taxes. Medicaid is basically health care that goes handinhand with welfare and do something that is for those that cant afford and have no access to should only be if youre actively looking to try to get into the workforce if youre just sitting there, you should be getting anything. Before that, a freemarket and people wanted insurance, they bought it or they had an employer that had insurance. They had the option to take it or not. You know, this idea of telling people they have to buy a product is like telling somebody that has nospace, donated vehicle because theyve lived nextdoor to their job if they have to go out and buy a new ford pickups and they can afford the payment they have money to use it or not. It doesnt work. No place in health care at all. Host what about the people who show up at the hospital and dont have insurance but have a lifethreatening medical condition. What should happen to them under your system . Your programs work they dont have insurance, theres paperwork they can fill out. If they dont have it or cant afford it, they help assist. It shouldnt be an entitlement. The government has no place. Everybody is not entitled to Health Care Just because they are here. That is insane that shouldnt be forced either. Host the systems that you sign up for that you are just talking about that could help them without insurance, did that become the Entitlement Program people take advantage of . Caller well, no. Some of that is taking care a through the house bills. Some of that is taking care of two different programs through donors to the hospital and i believe there are other parts of it that are taking care of state, local and i believe publicly part of the Medicaid Budget within the states. Again, that goes to the thing out if someone doesnt have it, they apply for it and if they are eligible income lines, you have to meet certain eligibility is to be able to get that. Some other things the government needs to control in our life. Youve got states where theyre trying to tell you you cant smoke while youre going down the road in the car. You cant do that they are. Everybodys got to have a seat and everybody has their own opinion of things. I wear my helmet by choice. There are states where you have the options where or where not by choice. You have to, even though i still continue to wear it because its my choice to wear it. Host the Editorial Board of the wall street journal today asks whether the gop alternatives . They write by all means take to help Health Care Bill flaws but the political strategies wont work, saying that a standalone repeal is unlikely to pass in the senate. Not the least because republicans ran on repeal and replace, not repeal the period that gave republican critics the benefit of the doubt and say repeal could only get it centered though. They have been led. Gop would have to move a replacement to on threshold of the 60 senate votes absent the reconciliation process they work under. Good luck. Republicans are going to 2018 at 2018 at america with obamacare without a replacement plan. If you want to read the Editorial Board comments about the republican strategy and the Republican Opposition weve seen to the Health Care Bill, todays wall street journal. Ron, spring hill, florida. Good morning. Caller good morning. And god for cspan. Im on medicare, so all this focus to going on in washington now is not going to affect me, at least right now. Talking about repealing obamacare and replacing it, they are not going to replace it. They say will give everybody access. Everybodys had access to health care in the past and they couldnt afford it. I got access to buy a rollsroyce or lamborghini. That doesnt mean i could buy one. Most all of the discussions about republicans save money and not tell people. In the Health Care System. Obama did so much for this country. I dont care what the other party say. If you listen to talk radio,. We wouldnt be having this discussion if it wasnt for obama. Host arlington, texas. Independent. Good morning. Caller yes, what im seeing is a bait and switch going on here that trump says that everything is going to be better. We will replace it with something better. But then, you know, now its going to be in three phases. First of all, we withdraw and for obamacare. What are we going to do about all of these people that dont have representative services, turn up lifetime caps, pregnant women. Basically, what people dont realize is everybodys on obamacare to some extent. We are all affected by it. A lot of the problems weve had with obamacare is the way that its implemented. There is late a company could decide we are only going to go with the bronze plan, which is good. Certain benefits are guaranteed, but its bad because they can take it out and say will only go with bronson though you have these huge copayments ended up the bulls. I think that theres so many Different Things working here. The humanity is one other person that is not in the picture that we are looking at ces, but cannot number is. A lot of insurers and were not looking at people. Host in terms of the numbers the members of congress are hoping to get and look at at the congressional budget office, does they are scoring a though some legislation. Theres been a lot of criticism from democrats as hearings progress overnight at the markups went forward without the cbo score as its been called to senator levin, democrat from michigan in the ways and Means Committee hearing. This was yesterday, asking why they didnt wait for the cbo scoring. What are you afraid of . Are you afraid of the answers to the questions i propose that the rate of uninsured will go up, that they will be a lower tax credit for numerous people millions, that there will be disruption of the private insurance market, that the impact of eliminating expanded medicaid will hurt millions and millions of families and that the impact of endgame for capping medicaid on longterm care and kids who have special needs and other children that that impact will be substantial. Why not wait for full information to the light of day and instead preceding darkness . Lets not rewrite history. You claim you had cbo estimate. You did not. You had a letter and it wasnt even based on the bill. It was based on specifications by a three Committee Working Group and it turned out to be the estimates were wildly wrong. So, if youre asking us to follow democrat approach of a bad bill received had cbo analysis by a badly estimated cbo letter, we are not following that approach. We are going to allow cbo to have a thorough deliberate analysis with this 50 plus page provision as well as energy and commerce that you will have that full analysis before this bill ultimately goes to the house. Host that ways and Means Committee hearing ended at 4 17 a. M. This morning after nearly 18 hours energy and Commerce Committee hearing is ongoing. Their markup on the legislation will hit 24 hours at 10 35 and 37 seconds. Thats when they began yesterday. We will see what time and today. Taking your calls and comments. Santa fe to eat if you would like to join the conversation. Viewers do throughout our program today. Here is one from laura who writes in trump carries a risk to get rid of medicare and what she believes across the water. No chance of passage in the senate. Go back to the board. Republican states will be punished under brian care. Especially older people. Glory hath in columbia, maryland. Good morning. Caller good morning. How are you guys doing . Host doing well. Caller i am a republican because im a christian. I believe life is important and its a gift. But i have to agree with the other person that its about bodies. Some guy called and said what about a car if you dont have to buy a car, no its going to force you. Guess what, we didnt have much choice. We are kind of bored with the body. And if we care as republicans come at the main reason im a republican is because im against abortion. How can we not care about the health when after all it is a temple of god . Do we as patients forget it is a temple of god you know we care about is how this not an option. Somebody said help is not a guarantee. Well, it should be can iterating we didnt choose. So many people want to worship and go to church on sunday and they want to pass laws for that. Host how do you think that philosophy and turn it into legislation thats been applied to americans . Well, i think obamacare, while it was not perfect, that the other thing. People talk about this plan like somebody out there can come up with the grape with the great former everyones happy. We all know thats not possible. Theres no outcome of anything in society that makes every person happy out there. You have to look at it from the point of view of where again is a christian, you know, i dont need to have three and four homes. What about taking care of your brother . When jesus was asked what the most important commandment, he said last may, absolutely. The second one, he said love one another the way i have loved you. All the rest of the commandments hang im not. When did the Republican Party become the party of the rich . Host jason, santa cruz, california. Good morning. Caller how you doing . Host doing well. Caller its a really crazy time. We are supposed to be a free country, right . Host go ahead, jason. Caller we are supposed to be a free country and have freedom and everything. But if we we cant give it away. Thats not what america is built on. Its like theyre expecting someone else to help them. Host host how does that apply to health care, jason . Caller doing health care. 45 years old and im in santa cruz, california. I can hardly get it. I dont want to pay taxes and do the benefits of everything. Host thats go to arnold in, North Carolina. Good morning. Caller can you hear me . The last lady who is talking about republicans and christians. She kind of shine the light on it. Its not christlike at all. They would be in bad shape because the first thing he was taking care of was the poor. So far as the Health Care Bill is concerned, i think its incredibly wrong for them to gangsta rap away from the people drifting along in this country. 25 million people, they started obamacare because so many people couldnt afford good Health Insurance. I just retired a year and a half ago for almost 30 years. I had to retire early and i was the danger down the highway. I lost all my good reflexes a retired before then because i had no Health Insurance coverage. I was too young for medicare. Those are my paychecks. I spam like 300, 400 a paycheck sometimes and went to get something wrong with me. It was actually just junk insurance. Before obamacare, all you could get on your jobless junk insurance. Go to the hospital. Do be in trouble. Its beyond how they can be so cold and callous to treat people like that. Host health care one of the major stories of the week. The president s executive order on travel and bedding, one of the major stories weve been following. Want to give an update on that story. This from the wall street journal today. Yesterday to fasttrack consideration of the states lawsuit challenging president trumps revised executive order on immigration or the quick initial ruling to restrict u. S. Travel from six muslim majority nations. Hawaii appears to be the first one again to challenge the due order in court and almost certainly appeal Circuit Court of appeals that has jurisdiction over several western states. That played a central role in sinking the First Executive order. Last month the president could enforce about the judiciary sorted sorted out its legality. We will continue to watch that story, bring you updates. Stay with us on the washington journal each morning. About 15 minutes left in this program before we take you to the senate for live coverage this morning. Barry and port charlotte, florida. Good morning. Caller good morning. Listen, these people knew that this was coming. They knew that mr. Trump is going to get an office and this was coming. I just listening to you talk about immigration. Theres so much happening right now. Honest to god, its embarrassing. Channels on cspan watch these hearings. I just watched a little while ago they said im sorry, i was asleep. That is a problem with what is going on. Take care of your people, get it done. But then get it done. Quit crying. Its the same stuff every day. Blah, blah, blah. Host give me a couple concrete example to which you want them to do. You dont want an overnight session to give her this . What are some options. Caller with the purpose of an overnight session . How do they get their own stuff done in the red states. How do you do it when all you want to do is argue and banter back and forth like a bunch of little kids. Do you really want another solution . Put them unlimited terms. Thats not the issue here. The issue is on a session. What is that going to do tomorrow . How are we going to solve that . You knew it was coming. Take care of it. Host jack and winston, North Carolina. Good morning. Caller good morning, john. How are you . You all take a lot of baby take a lot of abuse, dont you . Host talking to other colors. Go ahead. Caller it took me seven years to get a handicap status after having a huge stroke with no benefits they had to rely on the va. My wife is a nurse and pull me out of it. I watched obamacare from 450 to 1400 to 450 a month. When youre in a fixed income, it is fixing you up to be broken at the end of every month. Its not the four anyway. I have not heard anybody mention. The ones that are bedridden, in their homes. Your handicap status obviously took me seven, eight years to get back with no benefit. So its pitiful. Two people that call and they say theyve never been in that. Theyve never been exposed to it. Host people saying the va system has benefited them and something we should look at as a basis for overhauling national access. Caller at the house of cards. There are people dying to get and in people dying to get out of the va system. They deny, delay or go away. It took me three months to be seen and then once you are seen, the doctor says coming in now, i cant figure it out in a sense they did this one and sends me to that one. There is no real solution to your medical problem. I mean, it like it took them six months. Host North Carolina on twitter. The german Health Care System was invented by an American Insurance Professional after world war ii. There is a good system and one other from penelope says after the pursuit of happiness, would that apply to good health, if you dont have Good Health Community got nothing. What are their points viewers towards today in the opinion pages of the wall street journal. Republican strategist karl rove with this piece begetting of obamacares end. He has that piece by saying some republicans stack and oppositional mindset rather than a governing one would require any replacement be 100 perfect before they would support it. Otherwise they will stand with nancy pelosi and democratic defenders of obamacare. This care. As a straight conservative voters as bizarre. Karl rove they are talking about some of the opposition republicans have received within their own party to the American Health care bill can be marked up in the house energy and Commerce Committee. That expected to go on for several more hours to a live look into the energy and Commerce Committee right now. Democrats is Something Like four dozen amendment still awaiting a hearing to be talked about this morning and energy and commerce. We are talking to our viewers for the next 10 minutes before the senate comes in. Ima, florida, republican. Good morning. Caller what i want to talk about is no one is talking about how much medicare has been cut. I have a cousin whose husband has cancer. He is medicaid plus. Theistic other 20 didnt cover. They no longer do. Hes having treatments right now. Last year, medicare would cover up to 7000 per treatment. They would have to cover the rest. This year theyve already told them they are only going to cover 4000. By medicare has been going up and up in a period and a retired federal worker. I have insurance through the fed. I started paying 188. My husband, 138 because he is also retired the federal government. We are up to 204. So he hasnt only affect the people on obamacare, hes affect that everyone. Obamacare is a disaster and i think it should be taken out. For the people who think that control the government giving insurance to everyone. I just came back from spain. My relative was there. A system in which my husband has had cancer. They told us he didnt get the surgery until late june because over there at the ration. Thats what people want. Also, the taxes are outrageous. They have it coming. Host jeffrey in massachusetts, independent, good morning. About this health care thing, i just want to shout out one comment. I dont get no respect. I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest. Louisville, kentucky, land for democrats. Good morning. Caller obamacare, nothing bad with obamacare. Everybody likes. But i think its great. Some people say it aint good here in louisville. Obama and i know hes the first minority president and a lot of people dont want to accept obamacare. Back to romney care. It seems like he does something. They want to get rid of that. Mitch mcconnell and everything. Thats a shame. Host a few more tweaks from inside the energy and Commerce Committee. Michael burgess, congressman from texas writing on twitter, 24 hours later has worked through reforming our Health Care System. The democratic congresswoman you that clark has reached the 23rd hour of the markup and the Health Care Plan. The House Republicans still cant explain the bill. Waynes waiting in mechanicsville, virginia as a shower of viewer republican from oklahoma. Go ahead. Caller my comment is the aca was never designed to work. It was designed failed and for people to clamor for a sent a there would be a europeanstyle health care. A singlepayer. Whether or not that is what people want, that should be the real debate. Thank you. Host it was designed so people man would want a singlepayer system . Go ahead. Caller good morning, john. This gentle and it just though, that is to debate the fact is they do very little and make decisions after they receive our money at how much of our money they are going to distribute our health care. We really dont need that middlemen. It costs all kind of money. Because we are sewed in that im fighting socalled socialism and making sure the private industry benefits from this. I have suspected they have something to do with Campaign Contribution to our automakers. Nobody wants to see that this is what it is. Singlepayer or everything just strictly on a free market. I want to Say Something else. It says right in the declaration of independence, which was written by two great minds, Thomas Jefferson and ben franklin. It says that we are all endowed by our creator with certain and alienable rights. That means they cant take it away. The first one is the right to life. It says that to security threats, government or institute. Its our governments responsibility to protect us and keep us healthy. A little bit of humor. Your name is john. Im sure youre familiar with an old time i got sales named jimmy dean called dave john. What is your take on that that goes like this . He was sixfoot three and weighed 235, with a chip on his shoulder, the reporters all new they didnt hit on trade and give no lip to big john. Some say from queens with the wellconnected family with a wealth of main and Million Dollar loan since this privilege to the golden strand, big john. The country got in trouble in vietnam and a lot of folks were asked to help sam. They said no when the draft got near. He took five deferments. Early in the race, america is like to dance and these few words by this man im going to make America Great again. Thank you, john. Host before you go, how long did it take it up with that . Caller about an hour. Ive written several of them. I called and won here the other day about panama red, an old song from back in my youth. Ive got another one assigned bob dylan wrote about her breakup with his wife. Host we will hold off on that when. Careless in martinsburg, west virginia. Land for democrats. Caller hi, how are you. One suggestion. It might have been worth a higher professional mediators. They help settle the difference. They cant do it. Why cant they bring in mediators . Host you think they should take that on more legislation than just this one . Caller absolutely, why not. What do they have to lose . Post a girl is waiting. Independent, good morning. Caller hi, good morning. Carol has one thing slightly off. They will not bring in mediators because too many bike here we have who shone and taught young. They have too many large donors that gave to them. The health care for the republicans to get rid of the taxes that were placed on the wealthy to help pay for the plan and the Health Savings accounts which means people have to pay out of their own pocket their disposable income to try to pay for it, which only helps the wealthy.
