with the barren counties across the country that don t have insurance carriers any longer and premiums are going up by 30-40%. we got together and said let s stabilize the marketplace to help leaders like dan lapinski on the other side. we had members who said 80% is a victory and let s put that together and you can get it done. arthel: do you agree? i completely agree. the american people are sick and tired of democrats and republicans fighting over healthcare. they want us to work together to find ways that we can make healthcare more affordable, accessible and that s what we did. tom did a great job leading on their public side and we are not going to grant everything. it doesn t solve every problem with the aca but this is a really good step forward for the american people. arthel: guzman lapinski, allstate with you because how do you preserve coverage for millions of americans during the cross the opponents of obamacare that are not working? we have a deadline coming up. right
this doesn t fix healthcare but we have to show victories for the american people and we put the american first and were not focused on repeal and replace, fixing the affordable care act with fixing the problems for the american people is the philosophy that i think when you have the american people on your side it is amazing what you can accomplish. this caucus is responding to the call of leadership in congress to shop the shirts and skins, us versus them, let s solve problems for america. arthel: thank you very much. arthel.rick: one in century cits fighting back. the mary of chicago is he saying the department of justice will go to court. plus, more than two weeks as he went missing, a teacher has been found and there are moretolers questions than answers about her disappearance. while they see their first underwear you see an easy way to potty train
to deal with. rick: betsy woodruff, we appreciate your time. arthel: this is a fox news alert on new sanctions imposed on north korea. the united nations security council unanimously approving the new sanctions in response to the regimes to intercontinental ballistic missiles last month. the revolution bans north korea from exporting coal, iron, lead and seafood products which could flash the country s export revenue by over $1 billion in one year. the us drafted measure would also negotiated with north korea s allies, china. you can hear the crickets in washington today for the august recess is underway as lawmakers go back to their home states but it is not all rest and relaxation for some lawmakers who are still working on healthcare. we have two members of the problem solvers caucus ready to talk about their new plan. ten people forced to cling to their sinking ships after a frightening crash on the water. i had, more on this life-savingr rescue. (grunts of effort)
people seem to be caught up quite frankly on semantics, repeal and replace. what exactly does this bill do, does it repeal or replace? it s fixing. that s what we should be focused on. there are other things, other issues with the affordable care act that are going to need to be addressed moving forward but these are issues that in the short term will help to bring down premiums and other things will have to work on in the future but this is a great compromise plan, democrats and republicans came together to make care more affordable. arthel: and it s billed as the first and only bipartisan health care plan. congressman reed, what is the pressure here because now you have to succeed so that your efforts become that template for working across the aisle and getting back to a business used to be transacted in congress? that s one of the biggest successes out of this outside of healthcare.
healthcare markets. one opinion piece is praising the problem solvers caucus writing and part that last weekend they came from both sides of the aisle to talk about healthcare. they pulled up chairs to the same table to muddle through policy. they found common ground wherever they could and agreed to disagree wherever they couldn t. they regard each other with teammates rather than rivals. the caucuses currently made up of 43 house members and is easily split between the two parties. their main focus is bringing stability back to the marketplace ahead of the looming debt deadline. for me now are two members of that caucus. republican congressman, tom reed and democratic congressman dan lapinski. good to have you here. congressman reed, a star with you. you have heard me highlight some of the goals. tell us more about the first plan of attack. what we did is we came together. democrats and republicans said we can t do nothing in regards to healthcare. millions of americans are losing
