Praise, you talked only about taxes. You said essentially that you have pushed this item for local Property Taxpayers for the region that albany was very proactive in pushing Thistaxpay Faso only talked about the environment. This is to eliminate and save new york 19 Property Taxpayers millions of dollars. If this is about reforming medicaid, why are and you your colleagues only talking about tax cuts . Youre praising tax cuts. I wholly support john faso and mr. Collins amendment. Here in western new york, people are leaving in droves because they cant pay their bills and take care of their homes. What we should do is put the burden on the State Capitol because they control how this program is delivered at the local level. New york is one of the only states that puts it on the taxpayers to foot the bill. From my perspective, this is a great amendment that needs to be supported and reduce the 145 million in my low income areas across this district are going to be relieved. Thats the rig
we need a simple system. albeit far more expensive. arlet saines traveling with the biden campaign. reporter: biden kicked off a three-day swing in iowa through des moines touting a health care plan. it will allow americans to buy into a medicare type of a program and also provides massive subsidies to make purchasing insurance through the exchanges cheaper for all-americans regardless of income. biden also insisting that medicare for all isn t the answer when it comes to health care worrying that programs like that will be difficult to implement and also are, quote, kind of a little bit risky. you re talking now about a public option as part of your health care plan? yes. that was very tough the last time when obamacare was first coming around. sure it was. and it did happen. can you imagine medicare for all if you think that s tough?
releasing a 10 year, $750 billion plan. the system that joe and others are trying to prop up is the most wasteful, bureaucratic system on earth. when you are talking about subsidies, what you re talking about is spending more money, in this case taxpayer money, on a dysfuncti dysfunctional, wasteful and bureaucratic system. we need a simple system. . reporter: dave and jessica, joe biden touted his newly released health care plan which he said will build on the affordable care plan. it will allow americans to buy into a medicare type of program and also provides massive subsidies to make purchasing insurance through the exchanges cheaper for all-americans regardless of income.
executive action, or is that more of a stopgap measure? i think that is the most likely action at least in the near future, not only as we said, the birth control regulation. we re looking purchasing insurance across state lines which is something republicans have wanted to do for a long time. the president does something like that via executive action it, would be a huge republican was absolutely applaud. the strategies he is employing in terms of talking to schumer but also wanting to do repeal and replace, a little perplexing from my republican sources on the hill. almost like trump is standing over the grand canyon, or trying to straddle the grand canyon here right? which is impossible. he talks to democrats. doing so, alienating republicans. doing things for republicans in terms of scaling back obamacare regulations, talking about repeal and replace, he alienates democrats. he is in a tough position right now. reality there is probably not going to be a lot of obamacare
