only one insurer. it would force everyone back to the drawing board. shepard: what are democrats saying about this, mike is the. they re saying the idea of voting on a repeal without a certain replacement plan would cause a whole lot of chaos. here s more from senate democratic leader chuck schumer a short time ago. the time has finally come for a republican colleagues to take us up on our offer of working together to improve the healthcare system rather than sabotage it. schumer is trying to force republicans back to the negotiating table to see if they can work together on fixing obamacare, shep. shepard: tell us with the new proposal, mentioned the work together program, it s from joe manchin. he describes governors as problem solvers, he said the
$5.8 million spent on television ads by those who oppose repeal of obamacare or oppose the republican appeal plan. $354,000. like going into a fight with both hands tied beyond your back and already bleeding start of the fight. never mind the merits of the argument. how do you win when you re getting pummeled like that? so different than 2009, 2010 when the, the white house aggressively was pushing this. obama was out there on, giving events. spoke to a joint session of congress. there was support from even the big drug companies, cut a deal with the president on obamacare. advertising in support of this. there is nothing on the outside giving republicans political cover, and it s hurt because they don t like the plan. not like they re sitting on a stack of money. hospitals don t like it, insurers, conservative groups, tea party doesn t like it. and the white house isn t pushing the message either dealing with the russia controversy and everything else. they are for fixing
budget office but he s hoping to introduce at least one of them sometime this next week. what we don t know is what senators don t know. matter is everything those bills include, what they leave out the most poorly, will they be able to get the 50 votes it needs to pass if the senate fails to pass a bill to place and repeal the plan b will be to work with democrats on simply fixing obamacare. rick five apparently the white

version of repealing and replacing. where we end up if republicans are not able to agree among themselves is the crisis will still be there and we ll have to see what the way forward is at that point. i mean, isn t the way forward at that point working with democrats? yeah, that s right. what they re learning is what mitch mcconnell and republicans are learning is that rhetoric is not governing. they had seven years to work with democrats and they didn t do it and they had the first six months of this year to work with democrats and they don t do it and now the problem that we re seeing is that the this trumpcare, the gop health care bill, is not a health care bill because it s kicking off 20 plus million of people out of coverage. that is the issue at hand here. so they can t they can t really do this anymore without bringing the democrats in and fixing obamacare. you cannot repeal obamacare
