he s received phone calls from the president of the united states who s trying to get him to support this reiterated version of the senate health care bill, trying to the encourage him. but chances seem sort of slim even this this new version of the bill. not much has change about his primary complaint which is that the medicaid expanse would sort of be kneecapped by this. because he estimates some 210,000 nevada mans would fall off the rolls because they wouldn t have funding anymore from the federal government. and as a result dean heller, who s the senator from nevada, will probably vote no on thing, and that means this thing s dead. arthel: look, we re saying the president s ready to make a deal. are there the any senators maybe willing to make a deal? who are they and what might they want in return if that s the scenario? well, we were seeing, i think, some deal making in alaska, for instance. but ultimately, this is really preventing people from going no at this point.
it s not like we re choosing people that have investment income. it just happens this was a tax increase that was placed on the wealthy. when it comes off, it will be a t tax, it will always benefit those who pay more in taxes. as you know, the medicaid expanse is widely used in your state, it popular in your state. maybe they ll have a tad so once you give someone a ben if the like that be covered by a expanse i think we should had the federal reserve has a printesing press, this 3,500
big changes of medicaimmedim. the plan covers 70 million people expanded. medicaid expanded under obamacare. 16 states led by republicans chose to expand medicaid under obamacare and pressuring not to appeal the federal funding. the new proposal rolls back the expansion gradually. remaining untouched until 2019. the following year, republicans plan to eliminate enhanced federal match. putting states rather than the federal government on the hook for the costs. something that concerns governors. since the states don t have the money, they would curtail benefits or cut payments. all this could hurt not only poor adults, but low income children and women and seniors and disabled. that is the analysis from cnn
obamacare is at the starting gate. republican leaders face a tough job rallying support on their side. this may be branded as repeal, but this plan keeps several popular components of obamacare. it would bring major changes in two key areas. the insurance mandate and medicaid expanse. allowing insurers to hike premiums for people who allow their insurance to lapse. and a tweet with the house introduce the bill to repeal and replace obamacare. time to end this nightmare. nothing from his personal account. today marks an important step toward restoring health care choices and affordability back to the american people. president trump looks forward to repeal and replace obamacare with both chambers. they have their work cut out for
income. and medicaid. some states took that offered in obamacare and now those states will be allowed to continue growing the roles until 2020. that is compromise language trying to reach out to red state senators concerned about what will happen to the program. those states that did not expand. they will get money as well so they are not punished by not taking them. what is the pathway forward? it will be difficult. something senate majority leader mitch mcconnell made clear on monday. the house will work this week to move forward with legislation that under a new president who will actually sign it can finally help pursue smarter health care solutions in place of the failed partisan experiment. we know the task before us is daunting. of course, it is just as necessary. reporter: guys, it is not just the u.s. senate. they control the senate and
