will have no health insurance providers whatsoever. on the obamacare exchange in 2018. men and women behind these statistics are real people. they re facing a real crisis. behind every number, is a name. behind every name is a story. i ve heard them as i traveled across his country on our president s behalf, and i ve heard first hand from job creators just like all of you in this room, and working families about the burden that obamacare is placed on them. the burnham of dimmick connect obamacare has failed, and obamacare must go. president trump and i are grateful for the efforts of a senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, and the vast majority of republicans, who worked so hard in the house and senate to keep their promise to repeal and replace obamacare.
newt gingrich that republicans would be a lot better off if they looked for solutions, to deal with problems that they can get to the president debts, and i think there is opportunity to do that even with democratic support. i think the right infrastructure bill in a bipartisan basis for something to deal with the opioid crisis on a bipartisan basis. i think the problem that trump has in particular, he promised really big things, and by the way, i think a strict repeal without replace of obamacare is not the small, simple think that you get to the president s desk that newt gingrich had in mind. bill: why not? that is a massive change in our economy, and health coverage for the american people. 32 million bill: obamacare will stay for two years after repeal.
now if republicans abandon cuts to medicaid, and abandoned huge tax breaks for the wealthy, and agree to go to the regular order, through the committees with hearings, onto the floor with time for amendments. that is how we perfect legislation here. that is how it has been done for 200 years. almost inevitably, when you try to draft something behind closed doors and not vet it with the public, it becomes a failure. in this case, a disaster. again, our republican colleagues do not need to wreak havoc on our health care system first. in order to get democrats to the table. we are ready to sit down right now. again, if republicans abandon cuts to medicaid, abandon tax

house freedom caucus will work with a. bill: we are going to need you. thank you, peter doocy come alive at the hill. sandra: things changing quickly. health care negotiations falling apart just as president trump was, as bill mentioned, with other senators at the white house last evening. strategizing a win over dinner. john roberts live with the administration, what it has to say about this. john, so much happening last evening while many of us were sleeping. it did, but the white house jumping quickly, and other messages in the senator republicans, they all voted to repeal and 2015, and they can do it again. here s the catch. the president wants it to pass through the senate and the house by the august recess. he wants obamacare gone by august 11th. the president was blindsided by this. the state dinner here, with a number of senators and mike lee of utah and jerry moran torpedoed the repeal and replace plan. white house sources say, they
