democrat support, but really they re obstructionists. they have no ideas or thought process. so the way i look at it is in 18 we will have to get some more people elected. we have to go out and get more people elected that are republican. even with republican majorities in both the house and senate, republican efforts to replace obamacare have stalled. the health care failure is a stunning blow to the president s agenda, who just two months ago celebrated the passage of the house bill in what could only be described as a victory lap. we re going to get this passed through the senate. i feel so confident. so again erin, in one breath you have the president saying that he s basically washing his hands of it, that he does not own it, not responsible for it. but then you have this lunch that is going to take place tomorrow with gop senators here at the white house where the topics of discussion will be health care and other issues. jason, thank you. outfront now the chair of the
republican. reporter: even with republican majorities in both the house and senate, republican efforts to replace obamacare have stalled. the health care failure is a stunning blow to the senate s agenda who just two months ago celebrated the passage of the house bill in what could only be described as a victory lap. we re going to get this passed through the senate. i feel so confident. reporter: with controversy surrounding the russian situation, president trump is facing his lowest approval ratings just six months into his presidency. that is providing constant pressure. the president is facing bipartisan calls to reexamine the security clearance of his senior adviser jared kushner over meetings kushner failed to initially disclose. and jared kushner s legal team pushing back on any possibility that his security clearance could be in jeopardy. his attorney releasing a statement that says in part, we have heard no expression of concern from the fbi and i think
democrats seem to feel this piece of legislation could cost republicans the house. could it? i think nancy pelosi has been tattooed on the democratic party for the last ten years and it showed what she does as a leader in what the policies from obamacare have caused her. they cost her a speakership, that state legislatures, the presidency, the senate. i think if she wants to continue down this line, she will quit defending a field healthcare system and understand we have to put in priorities that actually take americans and put them first. i think this is a vote in which people will see as it goes forward, and i love what was being discussed previously with you and chris wallace about this, this is the way american democracy should work. we will pass it out of the house, goes to the senate, they will work on it. remember, we re doing it under reconciliation, only needs 51 votes over there, then we can conference it answered it to the president. this is a priority that we look forward
huge regulations. i m thinking why isn t that a pretty good model for everything? i don t have to pass some conservatives who don t like the tax credits in this bill, they don t want these extra entitlements, ultimately parts of obamacare have proved popular and there isn t a conservative answer to it because the bottom line is there nhere on this planet where purely market-based health insurance system has worked. it s a market failure for all intents and purposes. what if you re a conservative? can you face the fact that there s a market failure? it just doesn t work with you just give it to the insurance companies to handle? politically isn t that a reason for trump to put together different cove lagss for different parts of it, get expectations down. just for a political point of view, the day it passes, it s
under obamacare we have seen increased premiums in the individual markets and the family markets as well. what we have seen is nearly three-quarters of the individuals who signed up for the obamacare have ended up on medicaid which we know limits their choices in terms of the best doctors. and, really, it s been a system that is not working, you have one in five americans that really only get to choose one option in terms of a health insurance. this is not what i call a success and it s why we need to repeal and replace immediately. mercedes, you led by saying he thinks big. that is a concern coming from the right of donald trump s plan here. they re concerned that this is going to expand government too much what he is readying ride now. i don t see how. well, david, could he face opposition from the right on what he puts forward? well, absolutely. you will have to excuse my voice today, i m hoarse because i was cheering for my home state green
