I wont sugar coat this, this is a disappointing day for us. Democrats are declaring victory. Today is a great day for our country. Its a victory. Tonight, senator Bernie Sanders on how it fell apart after seven years of promising repeal. Real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. [ cheers and applause ] and where we go from here with Michael Moore. I think we have to let obamacare go its way for a while. And another escalation in the devin nunes debacle when all in starts right now. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. Good evening from los angeles, im chris hayes. Obamacare is alive and trumpcare is dead. And the Republican Party with control of the white house and majorities in both the senate and House Of Representatives is reeling tonight after failing to
achieve what has been their single biggest goal for the past seven years and the numberone agenda item of Donald Trumps presidency. Minutes before it was due for a vote
victory is never final and defeat is never final. as you pointed out, there are a lot of people that need their health care system to work better. even for those of us working pretty well you need it to work better and this s our commitment going forward. not saying who won this round but finding a way to make this system work. it touches off when everything is going well but when it s not you need it to be there for you. again, that s why the way they drafted this bill, republican leadership, it was a bad bill to begin with but try to find ways to strengthen the effective implementation of the law you ll take the politics out of health care. joe kennedy iii, pleasure. chris, thanks, pleasure. thank you. i m joined on the phone by congressman leonard lance, republican from new jersey who was a no vote on the health care bill. congressman, are you happy they pulled the bill? how are you feeling? that was a decision by
repeal obamacare bills, we have to start going in there right now with medicare for all, single payer and keep every time after time after time michael that was a disaster. then we have to get rid of the republicans next year. wait a second, michael. what they did was if that s the model, what they did was sold people a bill of goods, voted 60 times knowing it couldn t happen then could en t implement it. there s one significant difference between the two models. we know what we re doing and we mean it and we re kind of smart. we actually represent the majority of the country that doesn t believe the earth is 6,000 years old. so we the people who understand these things, we are the majority, we are going to go in there and start fighting for these things and, yes, we re going to lose, we re going to lose votes but when it comes our time and it will come our time trust me on this, it will come our time and we won t do what they did today.
insurance companies are no longer required that means not just obamacare, that means everybody watching this all insurance companies were now there it is on the screen, not going to have to provide these services even for people who have health insurance. so no outpatient care, no emergency, no e.r. visits, don t get pregnant, we re not covering that, we don t have to by law anymore, they don t have to cover any of these ten things, they put this in the bill to sweeten it for the hateful tea party people and they still couldn t get enough republicans even by saying we ll cut out the e.r. visits, we ll cut out maternity and pediatric stuff, how about that? no, no, we won t vote for it. so please understand that the republicans, and i m talking to the people in michigan who voted for trump, especially those of you who voted for obama and then changed an voted for trump, these people are out to make
first of all, we need to really make sure, because this happened very fast, in the last 24 hours, trump and speaker ryan change the bill in the 11th hour to get more of the tea party republicans to vote for it. they made the bill meaner. in the last day here the vote that was going to be taken was taken on a bill that said that insurance companies are no longer required that means not just obamacare, that means everybody watching this all insurance companies were now there it is on the screen, not going to have to provide these services even for people who have health insurance. so no outpatient care, no emergency, no e.r. visits, don t get pregnant, we re not covering that, we don t have to by law anymore, they don t have to cover any of these ten things, they put this in the bill to sweeten it for the hateful tea party people and they still couldn t get enough republicans even by saying we ll cut out the
