people, enough of them signing up in order to care for the older people who need care today. what we need to do is open the markets. the way you do that is selling across state lines. is forming groups of insurance. is tweaking the law enough to make it work fore president and revisiting it after that and seeing what other changes have to be made. but certainly as it exists today, obamacare will not work for you, me or anyone else. you re going to say it won t work for anyone else. that is just not true that it won t work for anybody. it is not going to work, alan, look people on medicaid had medicaid before obamacare was put in. if you re poor you will get help f you re rich you will get best doctors but you can afford it. it is middle class being squeezed in price and access to obamacare. 80% of the americans actually are keeping exactly what they had. 20% of the people who either didn t have insurance or making changes because of the affordable care act and most people are get
everybody is benefiting from who needs medicaid? you are standing in the way of people cuneth people. let s break it down. we expanded medicare, we are the second more generous medicaid program in the united states. that is true. but the market place people need to connect and that is almost 400,000 of them who qualify. you believe that obamacare works and i believe it doesn t. and i am not going to invest further money in a failed federal health care program. [ applause ] new jersey just one of many states refusing to participate in the federal health care program opting to let resident sign up through the maine health care site instead of their own change. a warning from the post
and that is a problem. and expanding medicaid the way they did where some families with household income of $96,000 qualified to be on the government dole, tell me that makes sense. richard, you are right. if you make $95,000 you might qualify but that is if you make 4-5 children. the law says for those focus with multiple children who need health care and a chance to go to the doctor. that is their choice. they can not achieve the medical dream without health care. a couple million lost health care insurance and the reason why had everything to do with their plan not providing benefits they need such as preventive care and so on. by the way, richard, one of the things obamacare did was it said a 60-year-old woman has to have maternity care in her plan.
the there are new questions on whether the law is working. listen to bret baier s report. there is only a million people would have acquired insurance in the exchanges who didn t have it before. in medicaid, i would say 1-2. so 3 million people are insurd d out of a 50 million population. we have our guest here now to talk about this not doing what it was supposed do: insure those who are not insured. and that is what the president promised. what did the president lie ab t
laughing at us. in the face of putin, is a tough guy. weakness insites him to act further. bill: listen, i know you also believe that if this continues, it will lead to enormous other issues, perhaps even bigger issues around the world in other places. right. bill: karl, thank you, we ll pick it up there next time. karl rove. we appreciate it. here s heather. heather: we have a winner in the latest megamillions jackpot. two people in fact, $200 million richer. we will tell you where the winning tickets were bought, bill. bill: chris christie getting tough questions at a town hall meeting in you. jersey but the governor not backing down. i write the budget. i don t need to read your budget statement. medicaid has been expanded in this state. i m sorry you favor obamacare and i do not. i favor that is the way it goes.
