let s go back to the border. can we retrain ourselves? otherwise this will be a long 18-month media slush. let me just in defense of my media brethren, i think we have already adapted somewhat in that we have real-time fact checks. a lot of news organizations are not taking the entirety of his rallies whereas in the past in the first cycle in 2016 he was the only guy who got coverage. that said, there s always room for more adaptation. let s take that one technique, emily. let s take it as a real life example. he comes out and says i m going to challenge the supreme court, okay. we have constitutional lawyers on the air, everybody is running around crazy. what is a way to handle that where they do it responsibly and put the information out but don t let him control the narrative after that? well, i think there has to be consideration of what is important, what should be news worthy and what should stay in the news. this is the president of the united states still saying somethi
you re wroung and healthy, it s great for you. if you re 27 and make $75,000 a year, it s great. if you re 40 to 65 years old, live in a rufl part rural part of the country, you get walloped. it s not just that you get an increase, you get walloped. i think that s why doctors and hospitals and nurses have opposed this. when donald trump said no one would lose coverage, it would be a better health care system, he wasn t telling the truth. it was totally false. this plan achieves none of those promises. and this is the plan on the table that paul ryan says is the train that can leave the station. obviously these numbers move around. according from early estimates from brookings and others, 20 million enrolled under obamacare. the red part, 15 million, is the people who would lose coverage over a decade according to
people would lose coverage and they don t want those numbers while they re trying to get those bills rushed through committee in the house. it s sort of like trying to plan a vacation without looking at what anything costs. it s not something most people would do with their own money or at least responsible people. neera, take a listen to paul ryan saying, hey, you might hate this but this is all you get. take a listen.closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare. the time is here, the time is now, this is the moment and this is the closest it will ever happen. it comes down to a binary choice. we now have the ability through the budget rules that we have in the senate with our three-pronged approach to actually make good on our word.
but it s going to be a lot of people who someone in this election to donald trump. people who live in rural communities, people who are older between 50 and 64-year-olds are going to have the greatest increase. in fact, many estimates have it that half of people who have gained coverage who are over 50 and under 65 will lose their coverage. that s a lot of people who voted for donald trump in places like arkansas and kentucky and even tennessee and i wonder why paul ryan doesn t care about the promises that donald trump made or other republicans made to make the system better, not worse. david, by one count five of the top states that are going to lose the most coverage were all trump states. we know that the big picture is that red states tend to get more federal aid than blue states so trump voters are getting a better deal but somehow they feel shafted on the way the government works now.
