given people reassurance. so, the only thing they can offer people right now is if you don t like obamacare and you don t like the mandates and you don t like the taxes and don t like the idea of it, this would repeal it in large part. this is something different. this is something different. that s the big sell, it sounds like. right, but they need more than that. got to go, guys. david, julian, tami, thank you all for joining us. thank you. appreciate it. coming up, a plot to assassinate the leader of north korea. north korea says the u.s. is planning just that, and they claim to have the evidence. we are live with a former cia agent. plus, damage control. another major airline apologizing after officials threaten to arrest a mom and a dad and take away their child? all over a seat? the incident caught on camera. that s coming up. unbelievable. you guys are unbelievable. great customer service. awesome. great job.
because they re running this under the reconciliation rule to get around a democratic filibuster, they re going to be forced to get a cbo score for anything they put up for a vote. so, they re not going to have the same luxury as house republicans did, to make a bunch of tweaks to any bill and then decide that a cbo score would be too risky. julian, why do you think republicans are taking this victory lap at this stage? we saw that huge photo op in the rose garden yesterday. some have used the analogy of sports, saying it s like a team doing the victory dance at halftime. is it unusual to see this kind of celebration at this stage? it s not that surprising. i think there is, some of this is genuine. i think there s a feeling that, finally, they have made legislative progress on something in this era of united government, where many of them felt the first 100 days would have been about a lot of legislative victories. and part of this is about actually shaping the narrative
driving up premiums. that s not obamacare. that s trumpcare. julian? it s a little of both. i mean, this was a critique of liberals of the aca program, meaning it didn t really do enough for cost control, and it basically kept the existing insurance market intact and just tried to bring more people in. so, this was a criticism from the start. you remember a debate over having a public option to try to have more weight on the costs. and now we are going in the reverse direction. so, i think it s a combination of both programs, republicans and democrats leaving some of the underlying dynamics of what drives premiums up for most americans intact. and until we do something about that, we re going to keep playing this song over and over again. so, david, what is it specifically that republicans are so excited about in their bill? well, look, they have long felt that obamacare made health care worse in america because they don t think that it did
reporter: that s right, absolutely. house republicans took a big gamble yesterday by deciding to take this vote without there being a final cbo score. remember, we only saw a cbo score weeks ago when that original bill came out. the bill has changed since then, and i think it s more than fair for senate republicans to be saying right now that they want to see the actual impact, the full impact, the cost of everything, how many people will be affected by this bill, before they even decide whether or not they are going to accept any part of this bill. mj lee reporting from capitol hill, a quiet capitol hill, as many lawmakers have gone on to break. thank you. let s dive deeper with our panel. cnn political analyst and washington examiner correspondent david drucker. history professor and author julian felser and cnn money writer tammy ruby, who s written extensively about this health care bill and issues of health care in america. tammy, to you first, who wins and who loses?
