make any type of concerns raised about them being paid. they understood that this needed to happen. but the problem remains can republicans actually pass something, ornd son. there are deep divisions inside the party while there are republicans that vk worning on legislation to try and address thisish for months now. there are other republicans who have made very clear to leadership, this is part of obamacare. we pledge not to fix obamacare. we plenld to repeal pk. until leaders can figure out how to bridge that divide, as of now they have no answers. their legislative schedule is pangd with must pack items. are they frustrated that this has now been put on their plate? the short answer is yes. the statements we ve seen from the speaker, from the majority leader were complimenting the president. when this news came out last night, republican leader hadn t even been told, sources tell me. nobody called from the white house. nobody told them this was coming and hairs a recollect flag
subprime insurance policies on the market. and you re going to see after this you re going to see attorneys general across the country bra lawsuits. why can t we get a fix? and rick, you cannot say that democrats don t want to fix it. thaft, i can say it because i ve looked at the alexander and murray proposal. i m telling you, i am telling you, they want to fix it. yeah. they want to fix it. the facts are that the proposal that has been put forward by the democrats have been almost zbler oh reform. you ve mentioned several things you mentioned are basically more money to be pumped into the snl to bring more people in. but as far as structural changes to the insurance markets so the people who don t get the subsidies are actually going to have lower cost, nothing is being done because that requires a change in the fundamental structure of obamacare. ron johnson and mark meadows, two folks who have been working very, very hard on trying to put together a republican proposal al
you don t get cost share payment. so only a sliver of the middle class. again, it depends on what do i understand of plane you have. it kwoob lower nrk people have less expensive plans. but the bottom line is we re going to see whether the democrats are serious about actually trying to do something, because if their answer is give us the money but we re not willing to make any changes to make middle class, to use your term. let him finish. they ve rejected any type of flexibility that actually is going to lower rates for people who are out there on their markets right now who don t get subsidies from the federal government. you re taking about small business people or people who work for small businesses. you re talking about middle income americans who have seen the rates go up by double in the last couple of yers. you re talking huge increases and nothing is being done, and democrats are resistant in making any structural changes to obamacare. you are not listening. i don

tonight something we simply have not seen before. every president going back to the beginning comes into offense with his own ideas, never though have we seen a president so seemingly bent on rersing, negating his predecessor s signature accomplishments. today president trump stroke a body blow to obamacare. the president has reversed or tried to rers president obama s actions on immigration, undaumtd immigrants, paris climate accord, keeping the clean power plan. in all fairness none of this should be a surprise.
