care. what they care about is that we are addressing the crisis in the most aggressive and effective manner possible. we will have to leave it there. thanks. the house health care bill does face an uncertain future in the senate. republicans can afford to lose only two votes, there is a gap between what hard liners want, and what the rest will accept. joining us on meet the press, start with something that secretary price said. he will improve medicaid by cutting, at least in the first version of this bill. we don t have a score from the congressional budget office, how much would be cut from this bill. $880 billion, making it better? the president doesn t propose something he likes like the military, will be made cutting almost a trillion from the military. he wants to spend more. we were on the path to spend
kristen, the democrats are celebrating, they are seizing the advantage, putting out ads already. are they jumping to conclusions too quickly? the republicans know how to message, you heard tom price on message, we re improving it, it s failing. that s what they re going to say. no doubt they re jumping the gun, trying to capitalize on this moment. one democratic group preparing to put out a six-figure ad buy tomorrow, targeting 24 members of congress. i spoke to one top democratic operative who said the challenge is, they need not to just run against something but for something. republicans are gearing up for a top of fight. mitch mcconnell telling his team, let s bear down and get to work and they ll be targeting the preexisting conditions, andrea, they ll change that. matt bayh, look at what
democracy, like it has been for a decade in europe. the world should have been more concerned about this, when the little countries were fighting back, as the russians tried to involve themselves in their elections. thank you very much for being with us on meet the press. democrats say they have no intention of passing a bill will the same thing happen to house republicans after voting to repeal obama care. one democrat is using it to barb republicans. u could use the savings to buy a decent suit. i got this jaime. you could throw shade all day but it ll never land cause we got the name your price tool in the palm of our h-a-a-and
tackle tax reform. i think, you know, rich s point about medicaid being equated with, you know, good health insurance, is valid. and i think what you re going to see the senate do, the goal is to get people on private insurance which has better proven results. the challenge with the house bill is it supplants medicaid over time with a tax subsidy that doesn t allow people to afford private insurance when it s substituted out. that s really dangerous politics for republicans. we ll leave it there for now, we ll pick it up in a moment. later in the broadcast, hillary clinton taking on james comey, vladimir putin, wikileaks, and the media stream media in explaining why she lost the presidential election. but up next, senator dianne feinstein on james comey. and
i think the president, obama at that time, made the calculation that it was worth it because this was something democrats believed in. i wonder if republicans are going into this thinking that there s a price, that it s worth paying a price at the ballot box if this is something they believe in. i don t know that these things are supposed to be cost-free politically. and this is rich, the fact is they re already running into some problems back in the districts. raul labrador on friday was at a town hall meeting, and i think we have a bit of tape of the exchange from the audience when he claimed that this was not going to take anything away from them. you are mandating people on medicaid accept dying. you are making no. you know, that line is so indefensible. nobody dies because they don t have access to health care.
