it gives money back to the rich. so, we are taxed to cover the poor in this country. that is going to go away. that will hurt poor people who were covered by this. i don t like this bill at all. reform is very difficult. this is a very tough thing to do. that is why it is hard to reform and it almost never happens. ultimately, someone will say somebody is losing something. we repealed $900 billion of taxes. that is on all the american people. it still shows almost a $400 billion savings to a deficit and date at that is absolutely out of control, while increasing competition. this is difficult. again, i have friends that say this is not just repealed. we need to trust repealed. the problem there is, you think the cbo score that came out as bad, have no replacement plan, that will be even worse. then, that some say come on let s come together, figure out how to make things better and sign something into law. that is an art out here and something we have to figure out. martha: good lu
also are hearing essentially, that there are some in the g.o.p. who believe that the best thing to do would be to back off, to let this thing fail, you have a lot of states, one provider at this point. put it around your neck, essentially. martha, what i care about and what i think what my colleagues care about, making sure that people have access to a doctor. that it is a portable end of the highest quality. obamacare certainly does not end if republicans want to work with us to improve it, i think we are ready to do that. martha: there are so many people who lost their doctor under this plan. i know many of them personally. i m sure you do, too. i know a lot of people who were never able to get a doctor because they have breast cancer alzheimer s and had a doctor for the first time in their lives. it is not perfect. no bill has been. let them prove it, let s not grow to pro 24 million people n the street without health insurance. martha: what are you democrats going to do? wh
accusation that obama wiretapped trump tower. two, an accusation made by the democrats that trump colluded with russia. there may be nothing to either one of those. it may be something entirely different. the fbi is in charge of counterespionage. they are in charge of counterintelligence. it may be that there are some investigations going on that director called me does not want to reveal publicly or acknowledge publicly that have nothing to do with either of those charges but have to do with russians buying. it is entirely possible that russia was buying on the trump campaign. that some people had contact with the russians in that sense. we just don t know. but the reality is, if you look at the tenor of the senators coming out of that meeting, she was very serious. very serious stuff and we can t talk about it. let s see where it goes. martha: i would add to that, julie, that the white house doubled down on this twice. in the past day. sean spicer in the press briefing said that th
understand. what side are you on? you support paul ryan s version of this. do you think that will survive? i think it will. they will be some tweaks and changes and i think we are always open to negotiating stuff like that. that is really important, when you try to figure out in an imperfect process like legislating, how do we get to the final product. listening to your prior gas, a friend of mine, talking about, we are willing to work with the president. when he created obamacare, you weren t willing to work with us in the first place. now, we need to fix it and bring competition, lower people s premiums, give them an option, half of the counties in my district, the 16th of illinois, only have one option for illinois. in many cases, it is like writing insurance on a piece of paper and handing it to somebody because they have to spend 30 grand before they see their first benefit from having it. we have to fix this and we will do our best to get there. martha: what do you say to you
the constitution also protects freedom of religion, which is part of this argument. there is no reference to religion and an executive order. the fact that they admitted, if it were a different president who put forward the same claim, the same executive order, they probably would have responded the same way. i have difficulty with that. i can t see anyone across the political spectrum not having difficulty with that. i think there is a larger discussion to be had. i totally understand of mercedes is saying. when we do know the intent behind this, we also know that he took the country that were on the obama list to investigate essentially. then, went that far. martha: thank you very much much. this live event. just ahead, president trump will take the stage for this major speech. where does he stand on health care? which side does he stand on? can he bring the g.o.p. together? kristin fisher inside the auditorium coming up.
