They do everything in secret, they will try to do tax reform in secret, it will not work because the Republican Party is kind of falling apart, at war with themselves, not going to be able to get the Freedom Caucus nboard and it will be fun for democrats in the next couple years, maybe the country will start Getting Better.

Viewers are ur calling in, republicans and democrats against the republicans, what weve job to n, it is his change things, to fix things, to better. M you know, the football teams are down on their knees, why isnt steps of the e capitol saying, im on a hunger get together, democrats and republicans and get a good l and Healthcare System for us. Viewers need to know, these people in Congress Liberals rvatives and to fight each other so we dont ook at them and hold them accountable, all of us are accountable for our jobs and elected, tothey are make things better. I think weve all forgotten that. Instead of fighting each other, focus on them. Host chris is in statsburg, new line for independents, go ahead. Caller good morning. To offer a just suggestion to Mitch Mcconnell, democrats. I think if they looked at health as threetier system, one ier is for catastrophic care, alzheimers, chronic and the other tier is for people ic that, is what are afraid of, losing insurance for catastrophic or losing their that should be picked up by all states as universal. States picked up by the and nonchronic by the states and the r as paying for it, atastrophic should be paid for and where everybody pays across the states. I think that could go through, through the congress and pass both the democrats and republicans will get a piece hat theyre looking for, the universal, plus the state and then if you share insurance state lines that, should bring down the prices and you an get collective bargaining that, is my suggestion. Louisiana, sorento, line for democrats. Go ahead. Aller good morning, i was suggesting that we go to the singlepayer system, such as has and we could let countries,s as other have the health care picked up by the government or supported government and still have an option to have additional you choose, but that would help lower cost for a corporations and make it a better Playing Field or even Playing Field across the economy would help spur growth in the economy and instead of tax and take some tax savings or taxes that you would on corporations and use that for infrastructure within the country. Would help spur growth in the economy, too. I think you have a win win instead of ere, cutting taxes, reducing cost from corporations and you are economy at the same time. Host Bernie Sanders tweeting of erday after the collapse the latest republican repeal and replace effort, americans won a victory, stopped a disastrous republican bill, we must go forward and guarantee to all. Are of course, republicans still not efforts under the graham in , the grahamcassidy bill, before senate ulled from the floor. He said yesterday he is optimistic a form of his somelation will still pass point down the road. Here is what ive concluded, with a process that gives more attention and time, we will and replace obamacare grant called grahamcassidyhellerjohnson, as missing ingredient republicans has been, we know what we dont like. We acare is not working, effectively, but weve had a hard time articul e articulating what were for, until now. Now we have something to talk about that makes sense, the 50 republican senators, a lot of and i hope the American People. If you are single payer you, i r, got bless respectfully disagree, but what ere effectively, but proposinf single payer healthcare in washington. This is an idea that worked with reform n. 1996, the congress in bipartisan fashion clinton took the welfare system and block granted it back to the state with guidelines and guard rails and achieved a lot of success and welfare reform. I am convinced that innovation and flexibility is the key to affordable, high quality held sxheld that obamacare is the exact opposite innovation, flexibility and high quality. We are down to one provider in and 2014, we had five. 31 increase in South Carolina alone. This system is failing, but the is news for america republicans are not just going to deliver on a campaign promise, were actually going to improve your health care by he collapse of that primary runoff down in alabama.

Dont let anybody in the press think that because hes opponent i do not support him. And support his agenda. [applause] as long as it is as long as it is advance our society, our country, i will be supportive. Constitutional,s but we have to return the knowledge of god and the of the United States to the United States congress. [applause] americaieve we can make great, but we must make america good and you cannot make america acknowledging the sovereign source of that goodness, the sovereign source liberty and government, which is almighty god. Nation that is distanced ourselves from the very foundation, washington of all dispositions and habits which lead to prosperity, morality are indispensable sports. We have got to recognize weve separated by something that separates church and state it doesnt d for, separate us from god, nothing can separate us from god. God and e nation under we can become one nation so much there is division in our society. Mobs, ts, demonstrations, racial strife, were all created in the image of god. I recall what harry truman said n his inaugural address, the American People stand firm in the faith, which inspire third degree nation from the beginning. Believe that all people are created in the image of god and faith we will not be moved. Weve been moved, but we can move back. If you want to watch roy moores victory speech in its cspan.

Caller hi, good morning. Thank you for caking my call. I like to say that it does seem like from what were hearing on a lot of finger pointing and Everything Else and nothing positive coming out of of this stuff, id like to make a positive suggestion. It. T go for caller mechanics, they work on your car breaking down, so, you see stuff in your car is not working or whatever, it but not totally honest profession, so health care, same way, make a profit. You got a good insurance plan, boy, when you go for health care to the max and give you all your Insurance Company even if you dont need them. Basic protocol we dont follow doctors, nurses, surgeons, everybody that works a a hospital that wears hospital gown should not be wearing it outside when they go go home or when they because it carries a variety of mrsa, ere, all these Different Things that are people, especially older people or people with systems. Sed immune so i just dont understand it. This is already like a rule that hospitals are supposed to follow, but you go on the subway in new york and see a doctor a stethoscope and blood on his shoes, people flying out of on their smoke break, which is a bad sign, be th care people shouldnt smoking cigarettes outside the hospital. We got to get on a positive gravity of the negativity in our country is going to destroy us unless we were only here for a short time and we should be doing good things for each and praising almighty god and trying to set an example. All right. Thats pennsylvania this morning, michael in crawley, for republicans. Go ahead. Caller yes, sir, i heard them they are trying to simplify he Health Care Bill to a putable means that is negotiable. A reduced bill that would be plugged in with ncrements that work for that state and not have to drag it out.

Always available what they spent it for, they cant drag that into the health are issue, the Health Care Issue can be simplified and that is what they promised, it version simplified which allows someone to have it aable for the individual, not big block of things you have to bill. To simplify a that is what they promise. Host michael, can i ask you, read a piece of congressional legislation . Is it just when it comes to legislation . Caller yes, circs the health care legislation, they were drag the debt thing into it and they said not to, it doesnt apply. About that, they wanted to simplify the Health Care Bill from the amount of make it work for the individual, you know, it is like go and what as you fits with this individual without going overboard, they copay, ve to have a b
