improvement. i know you don t like the cbo members but it wasn t going to be a great improvement and that s why americans rated it as poorly as they did. it wasn t really a good plan. i haven t met a single person who thinks obamacare can t use repair and fixing and feeding and watering. but you didn t have a better plan, which is why it didn t work. i disagree with that. it needs more than feeding and watering. listening in my state of louisiana we ve had premiums going up 20% on average since obamacare took effect. while the premiums are skyrocketing deductibles are as well and choices have gone down. this is affecting every day average americans suffering because of this. it s a crisis and i think the analogy about the house being fire is an apt one, we have to get back to work and not let this fall by the wayside. i m glad to hear heard chum schumer say he recognizes it s in need need of repair as well. we have to continue to keep that
what s the president s response to that? the real meanness is along the american people to believe they let obamacare is still alive. obamacare has failed, county after county are left with no choices, rising premiums, skyrocketing deductibles. obamacare is dead. what people want to compare this ability obamacare which is an unfair comparison because obamacare is not doing what it s supposed to do. it is failed the american people, most people who still have access to it can t afford it. this appeal deals with the reality. if you look at the rest of the majority of where the democrats, especially at the house have done, they have signed onto a trillion dollar, multitrillion dollar they are bernie sanders government fits all single-payer health care system. that s the alternative way to talk about. the reality is that this bill
that the rationale for action on health care and any other issue may be something more than simply undoing something that democrats did. that s the nice part of what he said. he went on to blast this whole thing and said it s the worst thing to happen to anyone out there who is going to exist and live in this country. with that in mind, here s what sean spicer told bill last hour. the real meanness is along the american people to believe that obamacare is actually alive. obamacare has failed. county after county, they are left with no choices, rising premiums, and skyrocketing deductibles. obamacare is dead. it isn t an option. shannon: it s named after him. he s got a lot of stick. clearly, but to say it s a dead, that s quite frankly dramatic. you could say that about the replacements built on the senate right now with four g.o.p. senators think they will not go for it. the reality is that the majority of the american people are going in a sense the sentiment of the president,
obamacare has failed and county after county, they are left with no choices, rising premiums and skyrocketing deductibles. obamacare is dead. martha: joining me now karl rove, fox news political contributor, he served as a senior advisor to president george w. bush. and matt bennett, could have both of the herd here today. i want to put up a picture of senator schumer on he wrote on the end of the word mean, i don t know if we have it to point out that it s even meaner than the first round that happened in the house. what you think about all this? i thought it was unusual for president obama to speak out in this way. is it mean to tell people you can keep your plan if you like your plan, and 14 million people lose their plan? is it mean to say you could keep your doctor and millions of americans lost their doctor? is it me to say your premiums are going to go down $2500 and it said the premiums have been under obamacare rising in double-digit rates in most places?
does not take anybody off medicaid, contrary to what people have been saying and it provides a way to make the program sustainable and saw that going into the 2020s pictures there for the people was greeted for five the president called your version mean. other have labeled it destructive. is your version mean? will it be a destructive healthcare bill? our healthcare bill is not mean. it s wondering if the president saw the fake news. the president lauded the bill a couple of weeks ago. a lot of work went into our bill. we have collapsing obamacare markets across the country and the bill has not turned out as it was proposed, just look at the premium increases we ve seen, skyrocketing deductibles, lost insurance plans, the last doctors, in newington where i had to switch a plan because we cannot afford what was coming down through the exchanges.
