Your thoughts on the Affordable Care act this morning. We start with bob, joining us from granger, indiana, calling on the line for those who say repeal it. Good morning. Caller good morning, cspan. I dont think any bill that has no by porters and support at all will ever be successful bipartisan support at all will be ever successful. People try and act like the republicans did not support it, but there was quite a bit of republican support for them. Another thing, i am really getting tired of this polling stuff. Questions thate are asked, i dont care for any of these darned polls. Should we get rid of the voters . Host and when christian this morning on our twitter site saying it needs to be fixed. Next from patrick from springfield, virginia, who says fix it. Hello, go ahead. Caller let me see if i can get this right. Aca, theking at the resistance from the republicans, it is not about a bad bill, it is more about keeping ceos and those who were involved with that. The republicans really were concerned about the American People, instead of 42 times voting against it, they could have presented their plan, they ,ould have come up with ideas because there are provisions, plenty of them that say if you have a better idea, present it. If they are really concerned they would have done this. Republicans are more about keeping old money flowing to people on the side, raking it in. That is my comment. Host since you called in on our fix it line, how would you go about fixing it . Caller you could go into the private industry or anywhere, and when you start a new basically technology that has to deal with the influx of all these people, you are going to have to be patient. If it was private industry, it happens all the time. Windows eight had a problem when it first came out. They put all their top tax on it , and then they their top tec these things. X if people can be patient it can happen. Host that is patrick from virginia. Here is paul on our repeal the line from tennessee. Caller good morning, thank you for taking my call. This thing is nothing but the first step to communism. That is all it is. This resident aint nothing but a waste. Every bill they get from the house, it never even gets attention. Impeached should be just like with the president. They send money all around this world to help these countries that dont even like us, but they cant help us with the communism bill. All of these people that pushed it through in the dead of night with no bipartisan support, it is a shame that these people out whent got cents to it falls on its face, and it will, they will be the first ones to say it was a mistake. Nobody is going to vote for it. Host hamilton, montana. Carmen, who says fix it. Good morning. Good morning. The guy who just called from tennessee hasnt got a clue what is going on here. This is Affordable Health care for all americans. My agent orange onto my children, i could not get them any insurance. Now i can. We can fix anything. We are a cantdo country we are a cando country. Host are you concerned about the problems that have been reported . Caller i am concerned, but it is nothing we cannot fix, pedro. We have highly trained technical people who can fix this for us and everything. I just think our health care i mean, they are going to give doctors incentives to lose weight, stop smoking, bring Blood Pressure down. Things forl kinds of the doctors and everything, but overall it will help the country get better as a whole. Physically and psychologically. Host do you think these problems could have been addressed earlier . Caller when it first comes out, it comes at you like a Freight Train and you cannot figure out everything you have got to do, but when will we learn to tweak something along the way . I think this is good for the country. Having all these huge greedy profits to big pharm and Insurance Companies. We are the people and we should be running the show, and i think we can do a lot better job. The republicans need to back off and let us get into this thing. We are americans. We can do anything we want to do. Host senator marco rubio , ihing in yesterday saying will offer legislation to delay the individual mandate to buy insurance until it gets up to speed. And is fully functional for the least for at least six months. [thereafter, it exempt people mandate fines if they can prove that they tried to set to sign up but could not because of technical or Customer Service issues. John join its us john joins us from conestoga, pennsylvania, thinking it should be delayed. Good morning, pedro. Yeah, delay it with the intention of keeping it. Have the states that are working well like california and a few others keep going as they are going, and have the states that are having problems, or the feds website that are having problems, fix it. It is not a big deal. Keep onrworkings will going. As far as these people talking about bipartisan support for Social Security, there were 18 republican senators what they passed Social Security. They didnt have a choice. Host the announcement yesterday also includes a callin aspect about the exchanges used. Now displays two buttons, apply online or by phone. That message is a turnaround for the administration leading to the october 1 opening to the marketplace, saying it would focus on techsavvy young people. Anthony will stop the caterer, alabama. Anthony, decatur, alabama, says repeal it. Your doctorou go to and say get this Affordable Care, she will tell you when this happens, you are looking at at least a year before you can get something as simple as gallbladder surgery. This is what this will cost. It still has a lot of problems. I am an independent but i agree with the republican. It should be delayed for a while. Host that is anthony from alabama. A couple of tweets for you. Jodi saying throwing more money at it is the american way. Why should the aca be any different . Also, law is fine, fix the site. To reference a famous scifi show. An announcement by the white house yesterday on what they plan to do about it. We are using it to get your thoughts on the Affordable Care act. Organize the lines differently. For those who say it should be repealed, 2025853880. 2025853 881 if you say it should be fixed. 2025853882, if we should delay it. John is up next. Caller i was going to say with all resistance to the Affordable Care act, it makes sense to me from the congress perspective, certain sectors of the Business Community, it makes sense to me that there were going to be some bothems in some states, with restrictions to the program and technical issues. I definitely think they need to fix it. Me, wejust say that for had to pass the Affordable Care act with these individual , that a lot of republicans dont like and a lot of democrats dont like. We had to go through that to get the and togs like preexisting the and to pre existing conditions. That that product would serve as a testament. Thanks. Host during the white house presentation at the rose garden there was an instant that took an incident that took place. The Washington Times says, caution, obamacare may cause fainting. We will show you what happened. As the president spoke at length, a young woman beneficiary of the program nearly fainted behind mr. Obama on the steps of the white house rose garden. Mr. Obama was talking about the hed to free families, then looked at the woman as her eyes grew wide and she cheated backwards. The man behind her talk caught the woman. Mr. Obama reached for her and said, you are ok. This happens when i talk too. Ng ag go to the Video Library at c span. Org and you can see the complete presentation of the speech with that was made to the president yesterday. Delaylle, kentucky, its. This is bob. Good morning. Caller hello, pedro. Thank you for taking my call. The reason i want it delayed is how can anybody make an informed opinion on something that they have not read . Make these politicians read something before they vote on it. Host how long would you delay it, then . Caller however long it takes them to read it. That is the way i look at it. Youign on something that have not read smacks of stupidity. I dont see how you can vote on anything that you dont know what is in it. That blows my mind. Host that is bob from kentucky. From the Washington Post some key testing of the system did not take place until the week before the launch. Of september 26, there have been no tests to determine whether a consumer could complete the process from beginning to end. October 1 wasat this at launch think was the launch date. That was joann peterson, joann peters, a spokeswoman for health and Human Services. We know the site is working significantly better than on day one, but we still have more work to do. Donald from michigan. Caller i think we should keep it until we are in the problems. If the Republican Party would put as much energy into trying to stop obamacare instead of trying to help the country get obamacare going and getting people who dont have insurance we willurance, i mean, only have a stronger, healthier country. To get rid of obamacare would be, i think, crazy. Host there was a poll that we showed about peoples concerns looking at the problems of the website and looking into problems of the law overall. Caller the problems with the , verye, we have smart intelligent people who should be able to solve these problems. Trumpthat is donald flint, michigan. The president yesterday speaking at the rose garden said that, the healthcare law created a anduct that was affordable, it was a popular website, too. Heres what he had to say. [video clip] through the marketplaces, you can get a Health Insurance policy that may be equivalent to telephone bill or your cable bill, and that is a good deal. The fact is the product for the Affordable Care act for people without Health Insurance is quality Health Insurance that is affordable. That product is working. It is really good. And it turns out there is a massive demand for it. So far the national website, been visitedv, has nearly 20 million times. [applause] there is great demand at the state level as well, the States Running their own marketplaces. Post leadwashington editorial. This is the kind of annoying sideshow that president obama ought to demand accountability. We share his frustrations with efforts by House Republicans and gop governments to sabotage obamacare, but the computer staff who the computer snafu was due to incompetence. ,he most serious consequence mr. Obama must do everything he can to erase doubts. James joins us from ohio. He says delay it. Tell us why. Caller the previous caller from kentucky i think emphasized a very important problem with this entire thing. Whoave an elected official has a fiduciary obligation to represent his constituents to vote on something that affects the entire nation without reading it is complete dereliction of duty. The republicans were opposing this and trying to make people aware of the dangers of , no one totally understands what this bill consists of today. Host so you are saying delay it, why, specifically . Caller lets understand what is in the bill. Whothe Democratic Senators voted for this thing if they understand it today. They do not understand what they voted for. No one understands what the final outcome of this was going to be. And how it is going to affect exemptingl public, institutions that are complying with it. We are exempting the congressional people from it. But yet the Common People have to pay for it. But what are we going to pay for . What is the end line of this thing . Host so you are saying read it first, understand it, and delay it. Caller certainly. How can you force people to comply with something, give the deadline, unless they know what they are going to comply with . The Common People do not understand the legalities of these laws. They are so complex that the people voting for it do not understand it themselves. Host randy from louisiana, who says repeal it. Caller repeal it. Like the guy just said, nobody read it. Just like the patriot act. They are both doomed to fail. Would never sign anything unless i read it first. I tell you what, joe mccarthy and eisenhower were right. You have a bunch of communists who invaded this country, and they are in washington. This is a scam for socialized medicine, and it just amazes me. I just wonder how many people were intimidated to sign this thing. You have got stupidity in washington. They know what they are doing. This is designed to fail so that the government can take over the and move Industry Forward with socialized medicine. My insurance is going to double, and i cannot hardly afford what i am paying right now. Thank you. Our facebookl on page shows 120 people waiting in saying that the Affordable Care act should the repealed. When it comes to those saying fixed it, saying fix it, 140 people. Four people say it should be delayed. Those are the categories you can say express on the phone, on the poll. The previous editorial talked governors who have been resistant to the Affordable Care act. One of those governors in town speaking at the Heritage Foundation in d. C. , North Carolina governor pat mccrory, who talked about the federal healthcare law website. He also said people knew that it was going to be a failure. Here are his thoughts. [video clip] all the publicity has been on the Computer System, which everyone knew was not going to work. I have my own Computer System from thebeen inherited previous administration, and i am having a heck of a time of a rollout of a statewide i. S. System for health care. When we looked at that, i said there is no way the federal government can do this. Behind, everyone knew there was going to be an operational breakdown. Full circle operations. Again, that is from our website. You can see it at cspan. Org, urged oblation washington. Sharon joins us from pennsylvania. She says fix it. Caller thank you for having me on. I think you should fix it. Mitch mcconnell said many months ago that nothing obama does will be allowed, and this is a continuation of that. Running around with your hair on fire because the computer lines are jammed up it could take a matter of days to get that straightened out, and Affordable Care will go on. I often wonder at these people who are so paranoid. We are going into a communist world . Only because we want people who can afford health care to have health care, that makes us communists . Someone needs to refine to redefine the word communism. Host what do you think about the problems with the website the last couple of weeks . Caller exactly that, it is only a couple of weeks. It is not what the media and republicans are making it out to be. They are thrilled to have this problem hanging over the head everybody who wants this. As far as the gentleman from louisiana saying you cannot pass anything without reading it it has been years now, and i think possibly every member on the Supreme Court read it when they said, yes, it was a law. They have been fighting back and forth, so i t
