whenever you re talking about health care, it s going to hit people s lives and think you re affecting the most intimate decisions they make as a human being. be respectful and listen and be confident in the fact that the reason donald trump won the election has a lot to do with the fact that obamacare is popular in cycle after cycle. more popular now. because they are touching it. this is what happens on health care, why it is a little bit of a trap. you say it s not popular, you start to do something and the other side rises up. the fact is at the end on health care, the best thing for the country in the long run is to be bipartisan. people who are for not obamacare but maybe against what the house passed need to understand a couple of things, the reset button has been pushed. put aside what the house did, that s not where it s going to go. it has to center on patient protections and around the fact that health care played such an important part in the overall economy. in citie
tonight on all in. the plan gets better and better and better. and it has gotten really, really good. a lot of people are liking it a lot. the white house backs off, another shutdown ultramateum. it agrees to even more patient protections and gets freedom caucus endorsement. then the president s cliff notes tax plan. i call it a magic unicorn. what we know about the trump wish list and how it would benefit him. will the president release his tax returns? the president has no intention. plus, senator bernie sanders on health care, taxes and nafta. and my conversation on 100 days of trump with seth meyers. if this were a movie it would be 100 days of confused.
make it more favorable to the insurance industry in some ways, to take away more patient protections, and i just get the sense this is doa on the senate. even conservative colleagues of yours, they re not going to run with this ball. i don t think so. i mean, again, here you have a president who said, i m a different type of republican. i am going to fight for health care for, quote, unquote, everybody. then he brought forth, along with paul ryan, a health care proposal which threw 24 million americans off of health insurance, raised premiums for older workers, defunded planned parenthood, and cut medicaid by $800 billion, and this proposal would likely be worse. so bottom line here, chris, i m going to introduce a medicare for all single payer program. we ve got to join the rest of the world in guaranteeing health care to all of our people as a right. so you just said something i think is interesting. you said here s a guy i ve
