seems. ultimately it seems as though capitol hill seems to be most of the blame for this, not so much the white house because of their inability, as paige said, to get a vote on debate. autopsy, paige cunningham, who knows? who killed thecconnell compromise? you re going to see blame coming from all sides. the moderates are going to point the finger as conservatives saying they want to repeal too many protections for people. the conservatives say the moderates aren t willing to repeal obamacare even though they said for years they were going to. republicans aren t going to get away from this problem. even if they fail on a vote next week, they re going to have to do something about the marketplaces next year which are facing some trouble. they re going to have to do something about these cost sharing subsidies. the white house is going to have to be clear on whether it s going to enforce the individual mandate. this problem is going to haunt them for some time. senator hatch blam
limits with a child that was born, with i let you talk. i m going to talk now. okay. they are now not having to run up against lifetime with a child. child did nothing wrong, didn t make bad choices. they were born with a problem. they are running out of a lifetime limit in the first year. those people have to make incredible choices. the choices they make still do not save their lives. there were more people caught up in that before the aca, 30 million more people caught up in that. before the aca than there are now. i am not in any way saying what you are accusing me of saying which is that the democrats wrote a bill that made it actually prevented more people from dying. governor kasich was saying he actually believes there is a possibility of the bipartisan ship here. is that a fantasy? not when the president is threatening to stop funding cost sharing subsidies, which by the way, expire this thursday for next month. that would be about $10 billion and could see premium
it will collapse nationwide next year. but it could begin to fail in certain areas particularly in those rural counties where all insurers have left, that includes 25,000 people in nevada, ohio and indiana, another.7 million americans could have just one option next year. i mentioned that 94 out of the 99 counties in iowa have only one insurer. the problem is uncertainty. t insurers aren t sure if congress is going to help here, if they will fix it. there are two ways congress can help. sharing the cost for lower income americans, continuing the cost sharing subsidies, anden forcing the individual mandate. that one key to keeping younger healthier people on the rolls here. both herbs offset the cost for more expensive customers lowering premiums. so many insurers plan to hike rates next year. 43% of carriers will hike rates by 20% or more. however, those in more stable
there s a lot that the administration can do on health care without congressional input. for instance, they could be more certain about the cost sharing subsidies, help publicize enrollment plans and hearing yesterday from donald trump is the preference is to in his words let the law collapse and fail. that could have resulted in a lot of human suffering. are you as a republican comfortable with that approach from your party s president? look. i m never comfortable with letting things fail or hurting the american people. there is a lot we can. frankly, there s a lot to be fair that tom price and health and human services is doing and working other legislation. we move medical malpractice insurance reform across the house floor a couple of weeks ago. you can start with that. do associated health care plans. there s pollty plans for democratic support but, you know, again, in the end left by itself obamacare is going to collapse. the president s right about that so if democrats want to
huckabee sanders said today, she doesn t think the white house has to take any actions for obamacare to collapse. but the latest congressional budget office score says obamacare markets will largely be stable. will the white house take steps to hurt the functioning of the affordable care act when millions of americans right now rely on it? well, they could stop funding cost sharing subsidies which is something that the president has threatened to do in the past. he said he s inclined to do in the future. the deadline, for instance, for next month s cost sharing subsidies payments would be this thursday. so, he could very well do that. that s about $10 billion that would go into effect for 2018, and it could raise premiums by up to 20% for people around the country who desperately need their health care. obviously can t afford these costs. but, you know, the irony for a president who called the house bill recently mean, to say publicly that we re going to let obamacare fail, that s th
