the tuesday group, they don t vote as a block. a lot of them are just coming back from two weeks in their districts where people are protesting things like defunding planned parenthood, like not getting covered for presifting conditions. they are feeling the political heat a lot more than the freedom caucus. it would surprise me if this actually became an issue. right now this is a bold threat by democrats. it doesn t seem like it s going to have to be used. it might not even get to the point. i hear what you re saying. i love this rotating cast of characters. paul, great to see you. on the other very big breaking news happening today, with regard to the president s former national security adviser michael flynn. now coming out of democrats in the house they released this information that michael flynn, there s paperwork that says he was warned not warned not to accept foreign pages upon retirement from the military and the evidence that they see right now shows that he did just th
ohio, nevada. some republican senators. can they vote for the rollback? it is very hard. you may have house members on the limb for a bill that doesn t become law, but have to defend in 2018. david chalian, the tuesday group and moderates. i took everybody at their word when they wanted to reform health care and better. based on what i did, it does not change my position. i was a no. i remain a no. why would they get rid of the one thing that was loved. no pre-existing conditions and why tamper with that one? it is be if you hfbefuddling. of course that would stay. this is the one thing that republicans touted so they can move on to different pieces. they understood how popular pre-existing conditions were. to opt out for increased costs
and certainly, i have always run for re-election on the belief that we have to preserve the right of people to have health care coverage, even if they have a pre-existing condition, and i think that should be true across the united states, and i do not think that states should have the ability in any way to waive out of that. i think there is a right in this country to be able to purchase health care coverage at an affordable cost, accessibility and affordability, and i think that is true for those with pre-existing conditions in our society. macarthur s a member of the tuesday group, and he went and made this deal on his own. do you feel cut out? i m a member of the tuesday group, but nobody negotiates for me, kate, and i m of the belief that we should move forward in this area in a bipartisan capacity. do you think that how this is going, do you think it threatens to break up the tuesday group? no, i don t believe that that will happen, and i will continue

board with this short-term cr, the continuing resolution to keep the government funded for another week. so, complicates things up here. we will certainly hear more from this from speaker ryan, who will hold his press conference in just a few minutes. complicated. it s that kind of status for capitol hill right now. good to see you, sunlen. thank you so much. joining me now, republican congressman leonard lance, moderate member of the tuesday group, at the center of the contract negotiations. senator, thank for coming in. thank you for having me, kate. all right, so, it is thursday at 11:21. where is your vote on health care right now? i am not in favor of the proposal. i was not in favor of it before the easter break, and i m not in favor of it today. i think we need to lower premiums in this country, but i don t think this bill does that. and i would urge our democratic colleagues to come to the table, because the exchanges are not doing well, kate, and i think
