expedia. everything in one place, so you can travel the world better. all right. a critical day ahead for president trump. really, as we told you house republicans are meeting behind closed doors and talking about this new plan to repeal and replace obamacare, two votes away from collapsing. on the president s schedule,
from inside the meeting, that they do not have the votes to overturn obamacare, at least not now. so stay with us. we ll see if the speaker says that when he goes to the microphone urchlts you ll hear from him in just moments. in the meantime it was a side seen rarely from comedian jimmy kimmel. in tears last night as he revealed his newborn son billy underwent heart surgery just three days after he was born. he talked about the diagnosis, his treatment and the impact of the current health care debate in washington right now. listen. they did an echocardiogram, which is a son ogram of a heart and found that billy was born with a heart disease, something calling tetralogy of the lung with pulmonary atresia. he has a hole in the wall
their side and if they are not going to rebrand it and move forward and call it trump care and move on to a different topic, they re setting themselves up for a big defeat. all right, guys. go ahead. i was going to say we shouldn t lose sight of the fact that republicans are it is true they are closer now than ever before to repealing and replacing obamacare. you know, the house, the senate and the white house all controlled by the gop and i think we shouldn t underestimate how difficult it is for lawmakers to, one, buck the president and, two, buck the promise they had made for close to ten years. we will see. paul ryan, house republicans behind closed doors right now. we will see what they say. are they close tore the votes or not. guys, thanks very much. we are minutes away from the opening bell on wall street. president trump saying he s considering breaking up the big banks. wall street, though, maybe not buying it. let s see cnn chief money correspondent and star,
other patients. perhaps higher premiums, that type of thing. they are really alienating some of the moderate republicans who cannot standby this. charlie dent being one of them. that amendment, in my view, would remove protections for people with pre-existing conditions or could potentially remove them because the states would have the option to waive out of proceeding those essential health benefits. so in its current form i would have to say that the protections simply aren t there for people with pre-existing conditions and as republicans we have stood up and said we intend to protect people with pre-existing conditions. so the bill does not match the rhetoric. some of that rhetoric coming from president trump saying i want it to be good for sick people. it is not in its final form right now. it will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as obamacare, but this is not included in this legislation. so we are not quite clear what
meeting about whether they had the votes to repeal or repeace obamacare. we heard from one member inside the meeting. what did he tell us? that s next. ted out of the carp? try zyrtec® it s starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®.
