forward in your estimation with the senate? it s huge, harold. and i think one of the reasons that lisa is such an advocate is because we provide health care to thousands of women in alaska. and she and i have spoken many times. she said, you know, if you are in juneau or another small town in alaska, planned parenthood may be the only place open to get family planning services, to get your breast cancer screening, your cervical cancer screenings. and i just feel like we can i mean wing that s why you re hearing why women are so upset about this bill. it actually takes away access to health care, when, in fact, we should be increasing it. and i think women just feel like, boy, if members of congress can choose where they d go to for health care, why shouldn t women in america be able to choose planned parenthood. in juneau or places like that, are there places where planned parenthood is the only option? there are no other options around? you can show on a map? absolutely. and
kinds of thing that are going to improve the system. improve the system for patients and families and docs. not make it so that government or insurance companies are in charge. well, let s talk about women. when we looked at the rose garden and the celebration of this on thursday, they were all mostly all men and white men at that. there was no diversity there. women s health issues arguably are going to be disproportionately affected. obamacare includes maternity and newborn care, preventative care. mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, birth control. all of this under the essential package no longer required under this house bill. andrea, come on. look at that picture. congresswoman diane black, i was standing next to her. the administrator of cms i was standing next to her. out of a group of dozens and dozens of people, you can cite two or three two or three women? these are prominent individuals who are leading
how we would manage to allow for individuals to gain the kind of coverage that they want. we understand that. and sometimes change can be disconcerting to folks. and that s why i would suggest that that list of groups that you had up earlier say they now oppose it. the fact of the matter is, they re not focusing on the kinds of things that are going to improve the system, improve the system for patients and families and docs. not make it so that government or insurance companies are in charge. well, let s talk about women. when we looked at the rose garden and the celebration of this on thursday, they were all mostly all men and white men at that. there was no diversity there. women s health issues arguably are going to be disproportionately affected. obamacare includes maternity and newborn care, preventative care. mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, birth control. all of this under the essential package no longer required under this house bill. andrea, come on. look at that
msnbc medical contributor dr. john torres. it s great to see you. good to see you. i hope you can help us shed light because it gets in the weeds it gets very confusing. the executive order doesn t specify what those federal agencies are supposed to do to make sure it doesn t have a fiscal impact, but you have a list of five things that trump could change pretty quickly if he wants to about our health care. right now the big thing, like you said, there s a lot of unknowns. there s a lot of nuances here. if he changes some of these things, some he could sign and change right away, but some would take work. here s a list. one of the things we re talking about is birth control. free birth control has been a mandate under obamacare. that could possibly go away. these are preventive services that health and human services decide to cover. they could change that. free prooeventive care on top of that. what does that mean? mammograms, cervical cancer
