the market, messing with the free market. on principle, the president is actually going to heritage tonight. he kind of sort of endorsed this deal. you know there is probably a lot of people who are vulnerable in november of 18 that love the idea of punting the idea of obamacare another two years. under those circumstances can this bills that house? pass the house? i think it is going to do some sledding. you can see a path for it if the republican leadership decides to let something pass with mostly democratic votes and a handful of republican votes. that has not been how the republican congress has operated. nor has it been how president trump has insisted that the republican congress rate. it s not how paul ryan wants to operate the house. his predecessor operated that way a couple of times, and he s no longer speaker of the house
and having back stop for them minnesota is doing this, i believe. alaska and maine are doing it. and minnesota has applied to do it. they are having trouble getting that waiver. that s one of the reasons we want to make it a little bit easier. just because you separate people in that way that doesn t mean people don t get protections. okay. it just means that the back stop in place is there to give both high cost claimants protection, insurance companies certainty. but then it brings premiums down for everybody else. so this we will certainly maintain the preexisting condition protection. all right. democrats sounds like they are more united around this bill frankly than republicans are. obviously there was a leadership press conference announcing this deal. lamar alexander announced t dean his own, not necessarily with mitch mcconnell, so there is a tonal difference there, can it get through the house? let s get it through the senate committee and the senate first. the
