the conversations he found out about with general flynn. can we get a yes or or no anr to our question. they want the truth. you wrote online today a national review that what is going to matter is not a theater of these news conferences or the back and forth of general flynn, they may be there or not. the result on tax reform, not just repealing but replacing obamacare. so how is he doing on that score? my advice would be, a press conference like yesterday, a lot of fun for everyone. when trump said i am not ranting or raving, i am having a good time. he was telling the truth. ultimate revenge on the media it will be governing successfully and building a popular mandate to be elected for a second term. i think he needs to get his white house on a better managerial footing, needs to fill out his administration, focus on jobs, the event he did yesterday with the minors come up today with boeing should be
insurance company has to cover. whether you are married or not you have to have pregnancy coverage or whether you are even having kids anymore. 75 years old, have to have pregnancy coverage. that added expense and added to the selection that young people didn t want to buy because of the expense. ed: you are a doctor, what is the prescription? you don t have a plan to replace it, tonight, you came with white. our goal is the same. left or right, conservative, liberal, we want more people to have insurance and more affordable. affordable care act is what obama called it, but it turned out to be unaffordable because he loaded it with some new mandates that it increased the cost of your insurance paid my plan legalizes forms of all insurance to be sold. what does that mean? you can buy a catastrophic insurance. if you are 22 years old, you may not wanted to cover everything under the sun. you may want to have a $2,000 deductible and say, i want cheaper insurance. that is illegal under
who says he has just the plan for nixing obamacare and actually implementing a cheaper, more free market approach to health care. senator paul joins us. thanks for having me. it s the one i want to start by diagnosing the problem. this other news, the extraordinary press conference president trump had, the ceo of aetna said that obamacare is in a death spiral. that is dramatic. in order for the insurance companies to make money and in order for the insurance model to work, people have to buy insurance that are healthy, a lot of them, in order to pay for the people who get sick when they have insurance. right now many young, healthy people are not buying insurance because obamacare told them, oh, you can buy after you get sick. it doesn t work if everybody waits to buy insurance until after you are sick. the other problem, obamacare at all of these mandates. ten or 11 things that every
been overreported. i think i might have been having a grumpy day. i wasn t upset about any kind of interaction. we had polite interaction about differences over obamacare. i would say the republican establishment position is that they re going to keep parts of obamacare. i don t think obamacare light is what we should do. the house was elected, republican, in 2010. the senate in 2014. the white house in 2016 on the promise that we would repeal obamacare. root and branch. i think we should do it. keep our promises. repeal it. give more freedom to the individual, more freedom to the states and try to make insurance less expensive and help people to buy it by making it less expensive. let s don t have another big government program or keep any bit of obamacare. neil: what was the reception you got from speaker ryan on that? you know, i got the perception that many people
it s a threat to the rally. it s a threat to the economic recovery. 317 companies reported this period. 85 talked about taxes. 63 talked about regulations and 58 talked about trade policies. your point is right. they cannot fumble the football. obama care is going to implode. we heard the health care companies, humana, aetna saying this is dead on arrival. 2018. they have to get their act together. the gop has to work with the president to make this stuff come to fruition. neil: thank you. good seeing you. meantime, all the talk about the republicans have no replacement. rand paul has had one for a while and he has it and it s here. ain. but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.
