Varney company is about to begin. Thank you orville and wilbur. Amelia. Neil and buzz for teaching us that you cant create the future. By clinging to the past. And with that youre history. Instead of looking behind. Delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions. In everything from the best experiences below. To the finest comforts above. Were not simply saluting history. Were making it. Yes, hes been speaking more than 18 hours. Senator ted cruz taking a stand on the senate floor. He wants to defund obama care. He started yesterday afternoon, a big concern, he says its the cost of Health Coverage and that concern is clearly justified. Weve got the numbers, they are in. You will be paying more for less Health Coverage through the exchanges. Elizabeth macdonald is here and she has crunche
Republicans want to repeal. Although its interesting, when you ask republicans whether they would repeal the benefits i just mentioned, when you say to them do you think its the right thing to do to let young people stay on their parents plans . Do you want to prevent seniors from getting more discounts on their Prescription Drugs . No, no. We like those. Those things are ok. So they dont like obamacare in theory, but some of the component parts, those that poll well, they dont mind. But thats already in place. Now, heres the second thing you need to know. If youre one of over 40 million americans who dont have Health Insurance, including hundreds of thousands of folks right here in maryland, starting on tuesday, five days from now, youll finally have the same chance to buy Quality Affordable Health Care as everybody else. And i want to i want to break this down for you. I want you to know exactly how it works. The major reason why people dont have Health Insurance is, not that they do
Morning with the rain spreading down to heyward and south of that. Later in the day everybody is going to get wet. Winds are picking up to the southwest about 20 Miles Per Hour. Lets take a look at the doppler, you can see what looks like scattered rain, some places it is coming down pretty good and it will continue to come down later in the day and you can see another band of moistures right now and even in the east bay it is beginning to spread south.

The Affordable Care act is here to stay, and so today i want to speak plainly, clearly, honestly about what it means for you and for the people you care about. Now lets start with the fact that even before the Affordable Care act fully takes effect, about 85 of americans already have Health Insurance either through their job or through medicare or through the individual market. So if youre one of these folks, its reasonable that you might worry whether Health Care Reform is going to create changes that are a problem for you especially when youre bombarded with all sort of fearmongering. So the first thing you need to know is this, if you already have health care you dont have to do anything. In fact, from the past few years since i signed the Affordable Care act, a lot of you have been enjoying new benefits and protections that you didnt have before even if you didnt know they were coming from obama care.

Authorizing bills the payment already racked up, the president must agree to a delay in the Nations Health care law, the elimination of Greenhouse Gas regulations, the authorization of the Keystone Pipeline and end to social service grants that provide daycare and provide meals to elderly and elimination of parts of dodd frank financial reform. No word yet on whether the house gop will ask for the resignation of attorney general eric holder or a decrease in the federal minimum wage. As with all things republican, things are fluid here.
