and i even heard republican senators say, okay, no more, no mas, they re not going to try to kill obamacare anymore. you preferred something bigger, medicare for all. where is your priority now? making obamacare closer to your vision on medicare for all, doing things like that, or do you still think in the future obamacare should be scrapped and replaced? obamacare has done a lot of good for a lot of people. that s clearly a fact and i support that. at the end of the day, chuck, we are the only major country on earth that doesn t guarantee health care to all people as a right. we are spending roughly twice as much per capita on health care as do the people in any other country, and 90 million of us are uninsured or underinsured. we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. we don t have enough doctors and nurses and dentists, especially
together, you miss out use any analogy, sports or business analogy, if the board or team divided up, it would never work. so i think i know your alaska state director is. i learned more about alaska hanging out with this guy in the last day than i ve learned in all of my lifetime. governors, good to see you. thank you for coming. you could see more of my interview with the governors including their new proposal today aimed at fixing the nation s health care system, making obamacare work on our website at meet the press .com and this sunday we ll dig deeper into where the gun debate is heading. i ll talk exclusively with senator pat toomey and amy klobuchar because it is sunday and it is mtp daily. we ll be back with more mtp daily and the crazy oligarch with mercenaries in syria. that is ahead. h blood sugar and cardiovascular risk?
learning donald trump invited all the gop s to the meeting tomorrow. what s going on? we ll see if that meeting is a symbol for republicans or at least those effected in the senate bill is this marchalizing them to at least say nice thing about them? possibly. it s going to be hard for this president to get much done in terms of substance in a meeting with 50 other people. this is the work he should have don months ago in terms of reaching out to some of the senators. people who had really issues with the direction of healthcare that was coming out of senate leadership, so you know, i think this might be more symbolism than substance. i think the symbolism also important for republicans who are very much battered and bruised after this set back with healthcare. of course there s you know there are always things that
obstructionists. you know there is a tweet for everything. he tweeted this, obama s complaints about republicans stopping his agenda are b.s. he can never take responsibility. do these two have a lot in common that maybe these president isn t realizing? the reality is when you control the government and the republicans do, the white house, the senate, the house, you own the problems, you own the responsibility to govern and the voters last november didn t vote for incrementalism they voted for sweeping change. if they wanted to keep doing what they were doing they would have voted for hillary. they were tired of six of the last eight years of the obama administration. they want things to happen. if republicans don t deliver wins on obamacare, tax reform, job creation they are going to punish the republicans. the voters are restless and want change. i need you to weigh in here.
by mitch mcconnell s plan. i m not letting my guard down until we see what we need to see, nats coming to and work together as oppose to the what we re seeing already which is bill being crafted, things laid down behind closed doors without democrats being involved. so those scheming from behind closed doors have to stop. we have to realized there s no democratic or republican way to get this done. there s an american way to get this done. americans are happy with the gains they ve med under obamacare but there s improvements that need to happen. we need to get to the point where every american is covered with affordable and quality care. speaking of which, i want to get your reaction to president trump saying he wants to let obamacare fail today. doesn t sound like he s interested in working with
