and fighting for those with pre-existing conditions. here s your fact check. every single one of the lawmakers you heard from voted to repeal obamacare and gut those. it appears they re trying to pretend it didn t happen because maybe obamacare has record support among voters or maybe we re getting close to what barack obama predicted. they can call it trump care. they can call it mcconnell care orion care. if it actually works, i will be the first one to say, great. you should have told me that back in 2009, i asked. here s the catch. what those republican lawmakers are saying to get elected may not be what they do. they may not be governing mcconnell care. he himself pulled back the curtain admitting if republicans get enough votes in these midterms they ll go back and try
savvy. whether trump wants to own it or not is anyone s guess. he is going to. it s not mcconnell care, it s trump care. this is a white house that is desperate for a win as we discussed all night. the russia probe grows by the day. this is a president whose approval ratings are at historic lows for this point in the term. this is a president who is open to attacks from democrats saying hey, you re favoring the rich. you re favoring the wealthy, instead of the working and middle class voters who helped get you into office. kelsey, i know you re a journalist and not in the prediction business, but try some odds. what is the chance we get a health care bill underneath the president s pen by the time congress leaves washington on the july fourth break? i would give it a 60% chance at this point, so just a little better than 50/50. i think it s really important to
doesn t mind this thing dieing. i think he doesn t mind going to plan b, which is the health care bill we have now, obamacare will have whatever weaknesses they have he ll work on those. he ll watch the system deteriorate, weaken, die in some place through lack of insurers. he ll say, it s the democrats. he can get away with it. the reason why, when obama came up with his health care plan, the affordable care act, this is being called obamacare. ryan care, mcconnell care. if it fails, it s not on him. it s not trump care. this is the failure of the democrats because the democrats should be all over calling this nothing but trump care. trump care. you about they won t do it. i think that s an oxymoron, by the way, trump care. thank you. thank you for reporting. last week president trump accused republicans of passing a tax cut, not a health care bill. president trump was asked about
have a right to know what was going on, what was in it. they didn t know what the full cost and consequences are. and then they pushed it forward, which is exactly what they spent the last six, eight years complaining about, nancy pelosi and obamacare how that happened, they ve completely undermined their entire moral credibility with this process. it s interesting, you know, michelle, because republicans, conservatives have long made the argument the problem with liberals is they keep trying to tell people what s best for them without asking people what they want. in this case, they did exactly that. they said we 13 men are going to go, white men, behind closed doors and tell you what s best for you. you don t have to know what we want. it would be one thing if it was just mitch mcconnell. but donald trump has embraced 100% this bill. it is not mcconnell care. it s trump care. trump said i am very supportive of the senate health care bill, look forward to make it really special. the
the day, as long as i can remember, we have wanted to see some kind of measure passed that would give health care insurance to millions of americans that could not get it, could not afford it, could not protect their families. and what bothers me whether it s this president or whomever is that you finally get there. it may not be perfect, but it s more than we ever had and it will take care of millions of people. and you re going to use all of these distortions, outright lies, and even threaten to shut the government down rather than millions of people who never were insured, never had the opportunity, never had the security of their families and you would go to this degree just because of some brinkmanship and some politics? this is what s so disgusting to
