it may not help insurance company, but it s a huge ben with fit to patients. and if you are an individual patient out there that you have pre-existing conditions,with fit to patients. and if you are an individual patient out there that you have pre-existing conditions, president and department of health and human services are commit the to makited to makingt you have courage that you want and will care for you in a way that makes if so you can select the doctor that you want to care for you and the place where you want to be treated. all right. i ll running out of time. dr. price, thank you so much for your time. coming up, woefully in-address yacht, disappointing, that s what john kasich is saying about the health care bill. with friends like these, account bill survive? we ll talk to him live next. a
about it. they have to take this out of the congressional realm and put patients in contact with their doctors. listen, i was on obamacare. and now i m owe a mehdi share and i m actually talking to the doctor about the price of care. well keep going around about pre-existing conditions, we will keep going around with about ab different benefits until we find a way to get patients involve and we start low erg the cost of care. insurance means lower the cost . jen, it seems to me and i said this to dr. price that there was a reluctance to acknowledge that there would be winner and losers with obama care oirg and we re seeing the same thing play out with trump c.a.r.e. of course there will be winners and losers and of course there will be somebody winners. premiums will go down for people who buy plans that cover fewer things, et cetera. but there will also be losers and there does seem to be a reluctance to acknowledge that. when we look back and we think about how we sold obamacare
when it comes to the requirements for insurance companies with people with brie existing conditions when it comes to essential health benefits, you are fine with the rules as they are? i would say that i would like some flexflexibility. i know there is a push to have some kind of a work requirement for able bodied medicaid recipients and ild work with my legislature to respect the kind of things that they want. but there would be no reason to move for a high risk pool because a high risk pool is not funded. so i would just stay in the traditional program on the exchange. the problem look, this is all going to be changed. you cannot you can t do this way. you can t starve these programs. and that s what is happening. and look, i am a conservative republican. my medicaid program is increasing at 3%. my per capita rate is flat. we ve managed our program. but we have the tools. we had to say if people want to stay in their own home rather than being put in a nursing home, they could
they didn t hack a ballot box. no hacking of ballot machines, of course. but hillary clinton said i take responsibility. i don t know what else you want her do. as former secretary of state, she should know when she stands on the stage like that and says russia is responsible for my losing the election, that only makes russia all that more powerful powerful. let s remember they also tried to hack into marco rubio s campaign and of course wikileaks was spreading information, russia tv was spreading information that was anti-hillary. but i have a problem with the secretary of state making russia making it appear as if they controlled our election. that is a bad move. that was bad on america. this is something that should concern both republicans and democrats. i believe it does. but when you plit sioliticize i way, it didn t help anyone. you look at the french leaks and what is it happening there, it happened in italy with the referendum, we have an election
seniors and disabled and appropriate resources could be put to the healthy moms and kids in a medicaid system. that is a system that again works better for patient than it does for government or insurance companies. but the cbo looked at the plan that paed tssed the house they had 14 million people who are on medicaid will no longer be able to be on medicaid. governors from around the country including these seven republicans i m about to put on the screen, they are on the record saying they are concerned about these cuts to medicaid in this health care bill. if you believe in sending this back to the states, shouldn t you and president trump be listening to these republican governors who are on the front lines? are in fact we have listened and we ve listened very intently and had wonderful meetings with republican governors. remember that there are no cuts to the medicaid program. there are increases in about spending. but what we re doing is apportioning it in a way that allows t
