ago. if you re joe biden, he says look at the blood and sweat and tears to pass obamacare. let s fix it and strengthen it and not go through that disruption again. that cost the democrats in the 2010, and in 2018 they said obamacare isn t so bad but the disruption why? why go through this? why try to sell that through the country but again, that s part of this defining debate. that s the tom freedman argument. do you want a revolution or someone that can win and worry about these later because the differences among the democrats are not that. one of the questions is what does elizabeth warren do in the last debate? embrace medicare for all and will she stick to that tonight and say yes, we should eliminate. she did in the last debate private insurance or will she seek a more moderate grunt on that? i want to thank everybody for this discussion. i want to remind everyone we ll be up late tonight, very late.
the debate stage, i m the only one who went to court to fight to keep in place all of the benefits of obamacare. but like president obama himself has said, he is the analogy of it like being a starter home. it was a profound public health policy and shift. it was incredible. the courage that he had with so many others to actually get it done and the wherewithal to get it done was profound. reporter: but obamacare isn t but now it s about taking it to the next step. reporter: so it is moving on from obamacare. and making improvements on it. and president obama himself said that there are improvements to be made. reporter: you heard the senator reference wall street, taxing wall street. what the campaign is pointing to as other revenue streams, it s
to emphasize, no republican wants to eliminate coverage for preexisting conditions. everything we have ever done is meant to help people with preexisting conditions. rob: not according to democrats. democrats are propagandizing that. what obamacare did was a $1 trillion gift to the bureaucracy and insurers at premium payer and taxpayer expense and one of the reasons obamacare isn t as unpopular is the trump administration has done things to help consumers have more choice. that has taken the negative off of obamacare. rob: you are special person, doctor and a politician. i want to ask you straight up what do you think healthcare in this country should look like? not many people know both sides. we can look at what donald trump and hhs have done about
they want good prices. they understand the tariff wars are hurting. agricultural concerns, i want to play a clip that shares that frustration. i have gone into the market place to help my mentally ill adult child and, i m sorry, obamacare isn t still even good enough. is it better than what we had, yes. is it still meeting the needs of everybody, no. it s not. it can be improved. i would like to see people work together because when you can work together and brain storm and respect each other s ideas, you will always accomplish something, and that s what i look for. and i don t see that today. it s very sad to me. the government offset pension takes $900 a month out of my social security check because i gave ten years of my life as a teacher in the state of missouri. even though i had earned social security check otherwise, because i taught for those ten years, now they are taking $900 out of my husband s social
all coverage will disappear. some of those people will be able to get care in different ways and some will not. prior estimates showed the last bill, 22 million people would lose coverage over the course of a decade. this will probably be comparable to that. it could actually be a higher number than that. but we are will not know until the vote is supposed to happen. did you just say obamacare isn t crumbling? you should talk to real people who cannot afford the premiums. i know people who have seen two to three, $4,000 increase on premium. if you are living on $50,000 income, those are giant costs. so what are you saying is exactly what people said, what you are saying about obamacare though is what liberals said why welfare reform wouldn t work? and we saw reduction in medicare. got them in jobs. and we lot democratic and
