taxes to deal with, entitlements, medicare, medicaid. and healthcare. i back the clock up from december 31. because, 2017 has to be a year of act on repeal and replacement of obamacare, 2018 will be a year of reflection, we gave the republicans all this power, majority, and you still can t get anything done? maria: if they don t get it done. i think that president will make every effort to get it done, i think that senate will come around, i hope. key is that there are 20 or 30 members who made a tough vote, and they will be seriously challenged they better defend this bill, they can t say i didn t read it or do this, democrats are coming full bore. they lost 63 seats, we have 2021 that is in play. a rail important point. political report switched
why do you think perhaps house bill does not athie achieve tho. looking at first itration. let s say min 9 million people t insurance, it says premium rose 20% in first year relative to obamacare. so 20% on top of that. so, it did not achieve president trump s pledge. his contract if you will with the voter. i am based on that previous score, we have to wait for next one. maria: are you expecting the kind of fight we saw in house similar situation with senate? i don t know. as long as president s contract with united states which is those 4 things, and i added something to it called jimmy kimmel you can lower premiums with a lousy policy. which when someone gets sick they realize it gives them $50,000 worth of coverage, but
pieces of lemm lake legislation, healthcare and tax reform, are being done during reconciliation, you can get 51 votes versus 60. hugh toughow tough has it been p with plans with zero participation from the democrats? you know we reached out, they made it clear, they didn t want to do expw anything that unraved obamacare, that sun fortunate that is unfortunate, you are seeing obama care collapse, they are more concerned about that legacy item for barack obama versus that is working for families. it. so, in the en with tax reform we ll do the si same thing, if y want to pit one group of americans against the other we re not going to do that, donald trump wants to unite people and to lower tax rates
has shown and prove everyone in his proven he is pushing through. there are a lot of good results, you know gorsuch on the supreme court, and keystone pipeline is green lighted. creating jobs, and reducing tax burdens, but this is a key part of, obamacare repeal and replacement and tax reform. we can walk and chew gum at the same time. we re doing all of them. hopefully by the end of the year, if you have them both in place, you will see the economy take off like we have not seen in decades, seeing jobs created a middle class rebuilt, this is a good thing wire pushing this agenda hard, families want this is what we campaigned on. that is what we were elected on. maria: this is what people voted for, these two major
after. are you going to be able to get that done this year? i hope so. it is really important. obamacare premiums continue to climb. insurers keep pulling out of market, i would love some cooperation from democratic party, so far they have not cooperated at all, this is important, whether a blue state or a red state. we would like to de to get it de this year. but don t you know they are not going to help? we already know that. we heard everything from chuck schumer calling this administration s swamp cabinet, to warren saying people will die. you know, we know that they are not going to be there what is the plan? let me start as my prove as a physician. as my perspective as a physician, i have patients looking back some would have vote the for obama 13 in trump, they were my patients this is not a democratic or a republican
