10 to 15 million but the numbers are not decisive. tom price told fox news folks should not rely on the congressional budget office too much because it was wrong how many would buy insurance over obamacare. the cbo overestimated the tax plan and getting people to enroll. president trump has insisted he can do better. this is what he told scott pelley in september of 2015. everybody has to be covered. this is an un-republican thing for me to say. i m going to take care of everybody. i don t care if it cost me votes or not. much better than they re taken care of now. everybody has to be covered. that was then. now instead of talking about covering everybody, the president is talking about giving everybody access to coverage. back to john roberts at the white house. any word on how those efforts to unite republicans are coming along, john? you mentioned ted cruz. he was at the white house last
hotel e-mails says it wasn t doing so at the time. alpha bank for its part stressed that none of its top executives have any affiliation at all with the trump organization or president trump. they said neither the bank for it s not principals have had any contact with mr. trump or its organizations. in the end what we have here is a potential computer link that remains a mystery. nothing nefarious necessarily, just a bunch of questions that haven t been answered. and a bunch of questions that you asked the administration and the organization as well, let us know if you get those documents and answers, jose, thank you very much. let s discuss all of this and more, the fight over obamacare, repealing it and replacing it, with david farenthold and alex burns. david, there is no smoking gun here, this is being called just an odd connection, a number of
is so confusing oochs. that s all we ve seen so far, a coincidence. everyone we ve talked to says it s not that this is nefarious. a russian bank and the devos family, that s just weird. great reporting jose and pamela. thank you very much. a lot we re covering this morning including the fight over obamacare and the future of it. we re just minutes away from a news conference with gop leaders. they are pitching the current version of the repeal and replace bill to the country and members of the party who don t like it. there could be an even bigger showdown ahead. let s go straight to suzanne malveaux on capitol hill with more. what is the sense there? are they getting more of their own party members on board? reporter: there really is a sense they re very divided. we ll hear from house majority leader kevin mccarthy in about 20 minutes along with other gop leaders. he s trying to push for the repeal an replace of obamacare.
repeal and replace obamacare, there is a fight within the party about just how to do it. what will bring the sides together? joining us right now, a member of the freedom caucus with which until now opposes this measure, republican congressman jim brightenstein from oklahoma. let s be clear, as it stands right now, if the vote were today, would you support this bill? i, in fact, would not. i think there s a lot of concern from a lot of members, not just me, but also a number of senators as well, some very serious chal challenges. our goal is to make sure we bring down premiums, bring down the cost of health care for all americans, increase access, and in our estimation this bill will not accomplish that objective. when you talk about access, you ve got s&p global saying 10 million people could lose coverage, brookings saying as many as 15 million could lose coverage, largely because of the medicaid expansion ending.
going out and making these outlandish accusations, you know, using information that is not truthful. some would call it lying. i would call it lying in some respects. and they feel like this is their opportunity right now to try to pin republicans against wall. that s why we haven t heard a lot from republicans. the response we saw just a few hours ago. fairly muted from republican. fairly muted. and they all look sad. next, war within the gop over obamacare repeal and replace. is the bill dead on arrival. plus, following the story of an undocumented immigrant leaving in fear of deportation. today the mother of four who wrote the law nearly 20 years ago was told to leave the country. is it fair. you re going to see her as she goes in and meets with those officials. she thinks she gets one piece of news. turns out to be a very different directive. on a lighter note. how this photo op has people asking whether clinton is spying on trump.
