forces and those working with our military. the second category was burned and maimed children that our children s hospital could provide lifesaving care. to the president s credit he did write those in as exceptions which were noted by the supreme court. we ll see where that goes. thank you for your views on refugees. i hope you re able to share them with more people. let s talk about the health care bill waiting for that cbo score today. andrew reuben and i were just talking about this a few minutes ago. one of the issues more than it was when obamacare came in is medicaid. oklahoma is not a medicaid expansion case but you re a u.s. representative. what s your sense of the 23 people people who may end up, or some of whom may end up losing coverage because of the transfer of authority over medicaid to the states. i think the first thing we have to examine is 23 million figure. it is not a hard figure. in fact, it s probably only roughly a third of that that s actually enrolled. th
york, the group claiming responsibility also claimed responsibility for similar hacks in the past in wisconsin and scotland and sweden. i want to get back to what could be the deciding factor for republicans in the senate health care bill, the cbo score. joining me, a professor and chair of the department of health policy and management at columbia, and a health care reporter from reuters. thank you both for being here. i want to talk to you about something i was talking to andrew reuben about. a pairson of total health care cost, amount spent on every american in the united states compared onother oecd countries. we re looking at 3,814 developed countries versus nine and a half thousands in the united states. he made the point we have access, always a test available. in developed countries most people have their health care paid for in some other fashion.
dynamic in favor of cruz and paul. that is a very sophisticated understanding of things. it s a little more sophisticated that he can afford to lose a couple votes. kasie, thank you for that. we need that sophisticated slz sis. as soon as the cbo score comes in we re all over it. host of health care connect on sirius satellite, can i get that ride? good to see you, andrew. you and i have been talking about this for years. i want to talk about two basic things in health care. to some extent that s what senators are grappling w for most americans they want greater outcomes for less money or at least at a manageable amount of money. our outcomes in the united states compared to other nations, longevity, life expectancy, we re not as good as the average of all developed countries, canada has 80.7,
there are solutions. republicans could sit down at the table and work these out with democrats. actuarial solutions. not political. shouldn t be political. but that s not obviously what happened. the medicate expansion is really a very big story you rightly point out many americans missed over the last several years. to me the biggest story. 23 million people losing health insurance, whichever bucket they fall into. andrew, thank you for pointing that out. i appreciate you being part of this conversation with us. we just received word from the white house about the breaking news from the supreme court, the other story we re following. plus congressman steve russell joins me from capitol hill with his reaction. two-year anniversary of marriage equality becoming law of the land in 2015. u.s. supreme court ruled all states are required to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.
andrew reuben in my last segment. here s a plan who can help me get into it a little more. charlie crist from florida. he was a governor in florida that did have a high risk pool. you re coming at this from a unique position. your state used high risk pools. in 2011, 0.02% of floridians not enrolled in a group market like i am because i work for somebody were part of a high risk pool. that seems like a very low number. i think it is a low number because who wantso be in a high risk pool? what we have now is working. it is not perfect as you just discussed in the last segment. what we have under the affordable care act, and you re right. it is important to the point out. a lot of people are frightened about this bill. it is not yet a law. that s why it is so important to communicate with your u.s. senators and encourage them to
