Plan. He is optimistic over the new year. The working strategy of working out a fix. Whats going on here . Hey, don, while yeah the president this morning tweeting about health care and going back to a little bit of an old plan which is, would go with democrats, something that republicans has not been able to do successfully. He had this tweet this morning talking about the obamacare he says based on the individual mandate has been terminated as part of our tax cut bill which essentially repeals obamacare, the democrats and republicans will eventually come together and develop a great new health care plan. Now, it does not seem right at this moment that democrats and republicans are actually working on a new health care plan. However, in january, there is going to it be a bipartisan effort to shore up those health care marketplaces, thats one of the things that the Trump Administration promised some moderate republican senators in an effort to get this tax bill passed. Thats one of the
part repealed obamacare. they did that on the individual mandate. they can physician this with murry alexander. i think he needs to call it a win and move forward with the rest of the agenda. do you want to respond to this? well, i mean there are many other parts and aspects to obamacare. like i quoted earlier only 3% of the over all costs. but if we are going to talk about the millions of americans who get their health care not only on state exchanges like connecticut but national and federal exchanges, then that is the fundamental heartbeat of obamacare. obamacare is not the individual mandate. it s making sure that insurance companies actually take care of the needs of the individual who are paying these premiums. and these premiums we are talking about, if the president wants to do something, he can help make sure we stabilize these markets, bipartisan effort so we don t have to worry about the uncertainty there of. according to the facts checks it does not repeal obamacare.
and tax credits at this point. we were hopeful that senator alexander would be able to talk some sense into republican leadership to say, hey, just because you are on a time limit and trying to jam this thing down by september 30th, please don t mess with my process. let this go forward. it was very discouraging to see him last night say the bipartisan process has broken down. that was really partisanship over the process. democrats say they have made concessions including allowing states to take up the slack. right. but listen you are not going to have excitement. i don t see excitement from anyone on either side of the aisle except maybe libdcy graham because he s trying to sell his own bill aboutny solution. because no one can guarantee that premiums, deductibles, actual costs are going down, until they can find a way to do that, i don t think anyone is going to pass anything. thank you very much. now to the world lead at least 225 dead, millions without power,s historic bui
consumer on the ground not knowing what your health care is going to look like a year from now, that is hugely problematic. and i don t see how republicans are going to be able to message that. there was an effort to come together on a bipartisan health care bill, senator patty murry, democrat at washington state and senator alexander of tennessee were, would go on something, but apparently republican leadership put an end to it because they wanted to focus on this graham cassidy bill. that was one of the most encouraging things we have seen come out of this congress. they were finally acted like congress. acting in the best interests of the people in a bipartisan way. from everythingweare hearing on capitol hill that process of actually going very well, that murry alexander were working together quite well. they were going senator by senator saying, hey, let s take the politics out of this and decide how we get to universal coverage or not universal coverage at a later point. but
