Im chris hayes with Senate Republican Leadership Clinging to their plan to ram through a deeply Unpopular Health care bill, the one person who would be expected to seal the deal, the president of the United States, is only making matters worse. After delaying a key procedural vote yesterday when it failed to earn enough republican support, Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell has not abandoned his strategy of negotiating the bill in
conservatives dont like those ideas so the bill has to become more conservative. It has to be more of a repeal bill. Making matters worse, new polls show the bill has almost no public support. As polariz
this who do not know that medicaid serves more than unemployed poor people. thank you. thanks as always. i m joined now by tim this kane of virginia. one of your lines of attack was that the president had no experience and no actual command of policy. he didn t really know what he was doing when it came to governing. how does that max with what you re seeing now in terms of how much command you have over this health care bill? well, it is a big mystery, we re very worried about that. we re really focused on what the president promised. nobody will lose coverage. nobody will pay more. nobody will get kicked around with the pre-existing condition. and he promised i won t cut medicaid and i won t give a tax break to the wealthiest. so our whole thing is, whatever
people. in state are covered by medicaid. so they re talking about eliminating 700 billion in trump care bill. so that s no way they can say that they re going to do more coverage than obamacare. so i don t really know what they re talking about. do you feel like, i guess i ll ask the question that i asked senator kane before. is there any common ground? or has the process been so fundamentally dishonest that there is nothing to talk about? i don t know. a long time ago democrats recognized that despite obamacare was extraordinary in the way that it offered insurance to so many millions who had not been able to get insurance they realized it was not a perfect bill.
this is things that huge crony capitalists miss. as conservatives, you should oppose this particular bill. it doesn t do the things that made obamacare in the first place. they were absolutely involved in every step of the aca. that process played out over 14 months. the reason he didn t know what was going on, i think they did just craft it and sprung on it them like they did on us. i think the reality is that republicans don t care enough about policy. you have republicans voting on this who do not know that medicaid serves more than unemployed poor people. thank you. thanks as always. i m joined now by tim this kane of virginia.
