ukraine s capital of kyiv. benjamin, as you look around, what are you seeing today? well, brian, steve, and ainsley, good morning. so far it has been peaceful today. this city is bracing for an invasion. many people feel that it was going come last night. many feel it will come tonight. so far the attacks seem to be taking place elsewhere in the country and many cities now being besieged. you talked earlier about those russians, the russian office for humanitarian corridors. cynical ploy because russia s offer involved taking people out of these places and sending them it belarus and russia. a nonstarter for some of them. the red cross said that the humanitarian corridors set up in the last few days to try to get people out of mariupol, those had actually been mined. people couldn t get, in and people couldn t get out. indiscriminate shelling continues across the country both in towns and cities, not just civilian areas they are hitting. they are hitting the airfields and pipeline, t
wildly expensive very ineffective because people could not afford that kind of coverage. people couldn t get insurance. so by the time the president signed the law we had one out of six americans with no insurance coverage at all. and i want to make it clear that insurance health insurance does not mean you get good health care. we know that. but having no insurance almost guarantees that you don t get the right care, you don t get preventive care, you don t get your diseases taken care of, you can t buy prescription drugs. we also know that. so this bill rolls back what were finally insurance companies rules that said you can t pick and choose any longer, you have to sell across the board and you have to sell a policy that s really an insurance policy. you must compete on price and you must compete on service. and people need to know what s in their policies. and one of the things that they will learn going forward is that implementing as you were
between blue and red. in a democracy, we have to work together. but you can t say we have to work together and criticize the republicans for trying to do something to fix obamacare which passed with zero republican votes. he couldn t even get olympia snow, the most liberal of republican senators to be on board. he did not work in a bipartisan fashion. he made that choice. it was a bad choice. let s stop making those choice. let s come together. let s allow a vote in the senate. let me jump in there listen to what matt is saying, he s saying listen, this is the republicans didn t vote for this thing from the get-go, if you will. but is that because you believe, debbie, that it was a bad idea or a bad proposal in terms of what was on the books and in terms of what is now a law, or was it political that they just didn t want to see it? no. i think it s been political. i think unfortunately this thing has been political from day one. what i m really happy about now is to see republican
something on the table if you want to take a piece out, you ve got to put another piece in to replace it. or fix it. so i think that this whole process in time over the next two or three months will unfold. but it s a mess right now. democrats and republicans, the white house and the congress both realize that this is a problem that needs to get fixed if they want this thing to have any survivability beyond its initial implementation. i think we all agree with that, michael. but don t you think the history onics have been premature, engaging various government departments. yes, there was a disastrous rollout of the website. but the actual provision of health care in ways that previously people couldn t get, that surely is something we must support. oh, yeah, we do support that. but no one really knows what the bottom line costs of that are going to be longer-term. again, as dana pointed out, if you don t get the young insured in to buy into this, then you re going to have a problem
