Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Happening Now 20170504

Or address. Jon we will take you to the floor live, plus three people who protested at attorney general Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing now facing jail time. The kind of precedent this case could set. And. Major flooding in the midwest and plains states. What happened to a home overtaken by one swollen river. It is all happening now. Jon we begin with the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare. A vote on the g. O. P. Plan will begin any minute now. We are covering it live right here on fox, looking for the second hour of happening now i am Patti Ann Browne and for jenna lee. 216, that is the magic number of votes for republicans to pass their bill and send it to the senate where it will almost certainly be amended, the noncongressional Budget Office has not scored the new bill, but had determined the previous g. O. P. Measure would cost 24 million americans their insurance. I dont believe that number is accurate because its looking at a small slice of what were doing, the entire plane itself will increase coverage. Remember that there are 20 million americans right now who do not have insurance coverage, many have said to the federal government, nonsense, im not going to buy your plan even though youre going to penalize me, the irs is going to get money from me. That is a system not working for patients, not working for people. Jon chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is watching for the boat live on capitol hill. So the Closing Argument, if you will, from republicans. What is it . Part is that republicans have been promising the American People they would do something and now make the case that obamacare struggles are forcing them to act. We have seen it a lot of activity pickup in the final few minutes, just saw House Speaker paul ryan had for the house floor, final arguments being made for and against this Republican Health care package. We do expect a vote in a matter of minutes. When texas republican, a medical doctor, urged his colleagues they must rescue their constituents. The Affordable Care act has left the individual market in shambles and has driven insurers away from offering coverage. Now we are seeing onethird, onethird of all counties in the United States of america with only a single insurer. Supporters also noted by acting, they will get rid of obamacare taxes which would also provide relief to their constituents. Jon so what are democrats saying specifically about the amendment that might lead to getting this bill passed . They are mocking it saying that republicans have been promising to do this for years and took a lastminute idea to gain enough support. The amendment we are talking about is for Michigan Republican fred upton, he has pledged money for people with preexisting conditions, here is some of the attack on that. Now i have to say to my friends on the other side, you sold out cheap, as we say in new jersey. All to give a tax cut to Insurance Companies and the most well off. The upton amendment is, of course, it admission. After seven years, you came up with this . Youve got to be kidding me House Republican leaders say they expect to have the votes to pass it, soon up to the members of congress to act on it. Jon that voting starts when, any minute now . I saw the speaker had for the floor so my guess is that we are very close. Jon mike emanuel, historic day on capitol hill, thank you. Democrats are crying foul on the American Health care act, calling attention to some red flags that they say are out there. Still, republicans say they are confident they can get the bill through the house and senate. Trumpcare was never about strengthening healthcare, it was all about a tax break for the wealthiest people in our country, forcing a vote without an updated cbo score shows that the republicans are terrified. They are terrified of the facts of what the cbo would report. We want to make sure in the end we get this right rather than getting it fast. The senate will take its time, and we will look at the house product, look for ways that we think we can strengthen it, improve it and ultimately get something to the president that will have the desired effect which is a more competitive Insurance Market and lower prices for people in this country. Jon joining us now is Chris Wallace, anger of Fox News Sunday. As we were playing that sound from nancy pelosi, i was remember her famous statement, we have to pass the bill before we know what is in it, that is what she said seven or eight years ago but now she says republicans will pass the bill before they find out how much it costs. Is there truth to that . There is truth to that. I was thinking late exact same thing when i was hearing nancy pelosi and that the republicans who killed nancy pelosi for talking about that, in it was a silly thing for her to say. You have to pass the ball to find out what is in it, but the fact is they are going to pass this without getting a score, basically an analysis from the congressional Budget Office of what will do do to the deficit and two people having insurance coverage. We know an earlier version of this bill that over the course of the next ten years, 24 Million People according to the cbo are going to Lose Health Insurance coverage. We dont have a sense as to whether its going to be even worse or not under this bill. It seems to me there really are two aspects to this, the political aspect and then the real world implications of it. The political aspect, this was a short a shortterm win for the president and for republicans, and in a sense, they had to pass something because they had been talking as has been pointed out for several years that we have to replace and repeal obamacare, but give us keys to the house, senate, white house, and we will do that. When the first bill went down, what an embarrassment that after seven years of promises to the american voters, they still could not do it. Looks like today they will pass it in the house. Then it goes to the senate where there is no certainty at all that its going to get past and also over time, we are going to find out what is really in the bill and what impact it would have. Even if they pass this, you can say that is a victory for the president and republicans, it a lot of democrats would say when you see the real world implications of what its going to mean for premiums, what its going to mean for insurance coverage, its going to end up being a political loser. We will have to wait and see on all of that. Jon at the same time, as i mentioned during our first hour, in the state of iowa, most counties are going to lose insurance, all of the Insurance Companies are pulling out, seem in other states outside the big cities, the obamacare insurers say they cannot afford the program the way it is written and they are pulling out. You are absolutely right, there are definitely problems. Democrats admit it, with obamacare, the real issue is whether or not it is fixable basically in its present form or whether or not you need the kind of massive surgery, if you will come of that youre going to see with this repeal and replace. Again, we can talk about the bill and analyze it all we want, but everyone expects when it gets to the senate and a complete different voting body republicans much more moderate they are than they are in the house, theyre going to have to change this bill dramatically before they pass it. Of course, when they pass it, the senate does, they send it back to the house, will the fixes they have made make it a politically feasible in the house or not . So we are a long way away, i think, june, july, maybe even august before we get this settled as to whether the republicans in washington are actually able to repeal and replace obamacare. Jon because democrats enjoy relatively more strength in the senate, and democrats generally are not happy with the idea of repealing and or replacing president obamas signature piece of legislation. Yes. The republicans content they could do this under budget reconciliation, which means they would not necessarily need democratic votes, they could do it with 50 republican votes plus the vote of the Vice President breaking the tie so they could lose to republican votes, but there are more than two republicans who are already opposed to the current bill, some conservative leg rand paul who says it does not go far enough, it is not really repeal obamacare, a tinkers with it, and then some moderates who say particularly in states where they expand medicaid that it goes too far. Youre going to have to hit a whole new sweet spot in the senate and whether that lines up with what is political in feasible in the house is a very open question. Jon its going to be fascinating to watch what happens. The vote we believe begins this hour, Chris Wallace, thank you. All of this makes for a cant miss Fox News Sunday with mr. Wallace, analysis and reaction from key players, 2 00 p. M. Eastern right here on fox news channel. Patti President Trump returns to new york city today for the First Time Since his inauguration. Mr. Trump will meet there with australias Prime Minister malcolm turnbull. The two leaders are looking to smooth things over after a bit of a rocky start, meanwhile new yorks finest are kicking security into high gear ahead of the president s visit. Julie banderas is live at trump tower with an inside look at how the new York City Police department are getting ready, hello. Yes, for the very first time in 100 years, the nypd is about to do something it has never done before, and that is to protect a u. S. President that not only is coming to visit new york city but is happening to visit his home town which has to be of course the biggest city in the world. The nypd is a team of 1500 men and women within the job devoted to just one job, counter terrorism. With the president s first visit since getting elected, the job becomes that much more critical behindthescenes to not only protect the president but to protect this great city and its millions of residents. A job that takes intense screening and many layers within the nypd. Whether it is the Counterterrorism Bureau which is the bomb squad, radiation detection, the network of camera systems, the explosive detection dogs, the biohazard detection devices or the Intelligence Bureau which is the investigation of sources of information. Layer one, Security Armed with long guns are visible to the public guarding trump tower together with the secret service, every Security Point is made up of the counterterrorism Critical Response command teams or crc, layer two, the not so visible nypd counter sniper team, and we got an exclusive behindthescenes look at how they train to hit a target 200 yards out and shoot up to 1,000 yards away, the length of ten football fields. Then layer three, and i in the sky, the Emergency Service unit or esu, not only has plan a, b, c and place, if things get bad, there is a plan d, teams at the ready to respond to the unpredictable. In a scenario requiring forced officers can descend from a helicopter and rappel into a platform anywhere in the city within minutes. So a tremendous resource in terms of people and costs. Speaking of cost, good news from congress, it did pass a budget deal that will essentially reimburse the city for the tens of millions of dollars it has already spent since then candidate trump now President Trump has been elected and will continue to foot the bill for the massive security cost in the future, back to you. Patti ann live at trump tower in new york, thank you. Jon we are awaiting their very important vote on the house floor, doordie time for the g. O. P. Bill that would repeal and replace obamacare. The republicans have the 216 votes they need to pass it . We will find out the answer any minute now. Plus the director of the fbi james comey testifying again today, this time behind closed doors.

I have to be honest with you, this process to put it bluntly is a [bleep] mess. It really is. I dont know how anyone can defend it. Fixes upon fixes to fix the fixes to fix the fixes. This latest backroom deal is nothing more that a bandaid on a catastrophic injury. Jon let Us Democratic commerce men jim mcgovern on the Republican Health care bill with a vote coming up in the house any minute now. Republicans are now confident they have the votes to pass it after an amendment providing funding for americans with preexisting conditions was added. Joining us now from capitol hill, georgia congressman doug collins, vice chair of the republican conference. You are pretty passionate about getting this bill done, why . Because of what we promised. I think when you look at this, think about seven years. This morning, i was talking about this on the floor with mr. Mcgovern, and if i was trying to explain obamacare and the failure it is to the American People, what we found is this. When we come together, we are focused on the American People. We are fixing the wrong that has been seven years, this was forced upon the American People and every election since, theyve said this is not what we want, you see the devastation across the country, were getting ready to say that ends today. Were getting ready to say to the president and senate, time to move this forward so we are excited about it. Jon im wondering, you heard governor Mcgovern Company about the procedure, what does he think about the way it was passed originally without any republican support and with a little bit of sleightofhand in the senate . I love the selective amnesia of my friends across the aisle, that is fine. If that is the way they want to do it, if i was allowed to come i would want amnesia the last seven years because they put healthcare to the American People that has left people without health care, people with preexisting conditions, cancer, other things where they could not keep the insurance they were promised, these are the promises broke into the American People. If you want to know a hard argument to sell, stand on the other side and say obamacare is okay, lets keep it. I think the American People have seen through the argument and were going to see in a few minutes the vote that puts us back on the path of a Healthcare System that is acceptable in affordable to all americans. Jon someone who think obamacare is okay is House Minority leader nancy pelosi. She had this to say in a statement yesterday. She says, House Republicans are going to tattoo this tomorrow monstrosity to their four heads, and the American People will hold them accountable. Democrats seem to feel this piece of legislation could cost republicans the house. Could it . I think nancy pelosi has been tattooed on the Democratic Party for the last ten years and it showed what she does as a leader in what the policies from obamacare have caused her. They cost her a speakership, that state legislatures, the presidency, the senate. I think if she wants to continue down this line, she will quit defending a field Healthcare System and understand we have to put in priorities that actually take americans and put them first. I think this is a vote in which people will see as it goes forward, and i love what was being discussed previously with you and Chris Wallace about this, this is the way american democracy should work. We will pass it out of the house, goes to the senate, they will work on it. Remember, were doing it under reconciliation, only needs 51 votes over there, then we can conference it answered it to the president. This is a priority that we look forward to getting done starting here in a few minutes. Jon they are still some republicans, not quite clear how many come at least 16 not on board. What do you say to them to try to get their vote at the last minute . Each member has to vote their conscience of the district, and we understand that. I think what they need to understand is all of our conference ran on the premise of getting rid of him replacing obamacare. I think it is still important, they have been a lot of lies put forth by democrats. We heard a string of lies about preexisting conditions and many other things. I think what they need to do is take care of their district, and we will continue and pass the vote in a few minutes and continue to work toward making sure all americans understand what were doing and how it will help them in the future. Jon vice chair of the publican conference in the house, doug collins, thank you, sir. We will see how it goes. Patti ann we are awaiting a houseboat on the republican bill to repeal and replace obamacare. With 70 questions about the effects of this legislation, could he come back to bite the g. O. P. In 2018 . We will debate that fair and balanced spirit also new details on yesterdays apparent murdersuicide that put a texas campus on lockdown. Did he say anything . No, it was too quiet. It was very quiet. Just the shots and immediately as soon as i turned back and ran, i saw everyone was running. I didnt hear anything, no screaming, no nothing. I realize that ah, that 100k is not exactly a fortune. Well, a 103 yeah, 103. Well, let me ask you guys. How long did it take you two to save that . A long time. Then its a fortune. Well, im sure you talk to people all the time who think 100k is just pocket change. Right now were just talking to you. I told you we had a fortune. Yes, you did. Getting closer to your investment goals starts with a conversation. Schedule a complimentary goal Planning Session today. They have this vote tattooed on them. This is a scar. They will carry, so it is their vote. It is not the senate vote. It is their vote they are taking, so that is really a poor choice, cowardly choice, i might add. By with a vote for it if they do not think it is worthy . Patti ann that is House Minority leader nancy pelosi telling her republican colleagues will pay a price for their healthcare vote currently underway on the house floor. The g. O. P. Leadership is plowing forward with this legislation despite the fact that the congressional Budget Office has not had a chance to score it. Lets bring in michael, the president and ceo of Square Communications and former chief of staff or a democratic senator from washington Maria Cantwell and dave, the former chief of staff for speaker paul ryan, thank you both for joining us. So what impact might this all have on the 2018 midterms . I think we are a long way from knowing because this is the first step in our process. I know that leader pelosi would like to make it the last step in the process and will cast aspersions, but that is understandable, part of politics, standard order of business, but this is the first step. House passes, goes to the senate. There will be a lot more focus in the senate on medicaid for example then there was in the house and other issues the senate will focus on as they go through the process of passing a reconciliation bill. At that point, their bill and of the house bill will either be put into conference or try to put them together to pass this. In the financial purpose of this is to move away from more government control toward patientdr. Control of their own Healthcare System so that people can have the type of healthcare they want, the choices, the excess, benefits, Health Savings account is what is trying to be here, change from more government control to Less Government control and more patient and dr. Control over healthcare. Patti ann what about the fact the house is voting on this before the cbo has had a chance to score it . For seven years, republicans screamed when the democrats passed healthcare it was in the dead of night and nobody read the bill but here they are in the middle of the day that no one has read the bill and no one knows how much it costs. In march the bill was so expensive it only had 70 vote from the American People. This is a crazy way to do business it for seven years, youve been screaming to get rid of a health plan then you should take some time, have some hearings when youre dealing with onesixth of the economy, just slamming this through on one vote is a really risky political endeavor that the House Republicans have undertaken right now. Patti ann what about that . This bill faces a tougher go in the senate. What if it fails they are even after amendments, is it risky for republican . Once again, what the republicans are trying to do is change the direction of Healthcare Delivery in this country. This is not about insurance, all those things, those are part of it, but the purpose is can you move from a system which has more and more government control, more and more government mandates to one that has a doctor and patient relationship at the center of it and people making their own choices . That is what they are trying to do. As they moved to the senate, they will make some changes in this and have to put it together. Yes, there are pieces that have not been costed out, but if you look at the most recent one which is the piece that was put together by mr. Upton and mr. Long and the president put an okay on the bill, that is pretty straightforward. A billion more dollars over five years for people that have preexisting conditions. Understand that we know a little bit more about preexisting conditions because the aca bill had a transition period for people with preexisting conditions, and in that, the highest number of people who applied for help with preexisting conditions in that transition. Was 115,000, highest number, so its not millions and millions of people who need this, and thus, if youre looking at 130 billion which is what is in the house bill as they are voting on it today for people who need help and risk programs, highrisk programs in healthcare, add 130 billion will go a long way toward helping what is a measurable pool of people, maybe not exactly that 115,000 that applied for the obamacare program, but it is not millions and millions of people. That is why they think it will help. Patti ann michael, if it does go through, does i guess vote on health care make it easier to pass future legislation such as a tax overhaul . If it is a very narrow vote where people are forced to come down to one, it might be more complicated. This is a partisan play, not like the way they pass the budget a two days ago where there was give intake, fair is no giveandtake here so it makes it harder Going Forward if youre just going to run a republican only play. One in four americans have a preexisting condition. That is a lot of americans. People want this to be taken care of. If you are a pregnant woman, diabetes, autism, those are preexisting conditions, that is a big problem. Daves point about 130 billion is not half of what is needed to take care of these people. Those people are already covered by programs and insurance which covers them for those things and will continue to cover them for those things. Patti ann were going to have to leave it there, thank you both so much. Jon new information on the deadly shooting yesterday at Northlake College in irving, texas, just outside dallas. Two people were killed in an apparent murdersuicide that pathetic campus on lockdown for hours. Police now identifying the victim as 20yearold gonzalez, and they say she was shot by 21yearold Adrian Torres who then went into another building and killed himself. Not here yet what his leadership was to the victim. Right now, the house is debating the republican plan to replace obamacare, and there is nancy pelosi at the speakers podium right now. We are awaiting the vote expected soon. We are live on capitol hill. And three protesters face up to a year in jail for their outbursts at attorney general Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing. Has justice been served . Paralegal panel with that. Brand new one. Thats cool. I got a new helmet. We know steve. Its good to be in good hands . New roundup for lawns has arrived to put unwelcome lawn weeds to rest. So draw the line. Roundup for lawns is formulated to kill lawn weeds to the root without harming a single blade of grass. Draw the line with roundup for lawns. Without harming a single blade of grass. W. I was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. I thought i had it covered. Then i realized managing was all i was doing. When i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,. But still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,. Including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,. And new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb,. Hepatitis b, are prone to infections,. Or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Jon we are awaiting the results of the house foot happening now on the healthcare bill republicans expect they have the votes. Peter doocy live on the hill for us now. There is some chatter now after a members only meeting this morning that the American Healthcare act may not just squeak through. Some people are telling us it could sail through. I think there is a great deal of unity. The memories of some of us that pointed out the problems that many have forgotten, but ics coming together. This is a great day. Part of the reason the numbers are looking stronger today than they were yesterday, congressman Jason Chaffetz made a surprise return to the capital come you talk congressman he would be out and unable to help his side passed some big bills coming up because he had a foot surgery scheduled, but he is here now. As far as we can tell, the House Freedom caucus group of conservatives is ready to come through for their leadership. The conservatives in that group helped sink the first attempt at repeal and replace are all ready to vote yes this time, and that has leadership feeling good, Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy was apparently cracking jokes to his members this morning. Across the aisle, though, democrats very critical of this g. O. P. Plan to try to pass something they just finished piecing together last night. I dont think any members have read the whole bill, that was one of the republican members. Congressman woman neil love said it was actually Pretty Simple to read through because it is not that long. It is great to be able to read through a bill that is 200 pages, the entire will is less than 200 pages. You really get to understand exactly what is in it. Just in the last couple minutes, weve seen a handful of buses to show up here outside of the capital, those are two prospectively shallow members after a vote if it goes their way, the republicans way, down to the white house for an event, we dont know exactly what they may be going therefor, but buses just showed up and im told that its what they are here for. Jon sounds like a little bit of spiking the football might be coming. Lets listen into the democratic minority leader in the house of representatives, nancy pelosi. She does not like this bill obviously. Lets hear what she has to say. They are afraid of running the full consequences of their plan to push americans with creases and conditions into the cold or as my colleague from new york says, into this off the sidewalk. If republicans thought they were really protecting people, they would not be afraid of the facts. But they are also afraid of the truth. The truth that would come forth if we knew the facts. And they are afraid the American People will find out this is not a healthcare bill. This is a tax bill disguised as a health bill. This is a bill that is one of the biggest transfers of wealth to the middle class from the middle class to the richest people in corporations in america. It is a tax bill, not a healthcare bill, that is why they have to do it now so they can get on with their tax cuts. But the suffering it will inflict on the sick is all too clear. That is why this disastrous bill has been condemned by the american medical association, cancer society, the diabetes society, diabetes association, american heart association, American Lung association, American Society of clinical oncology, Cystic Fibrosis foundation, aids united, the Childrens Hospital association, aarp, the march of dimes, the list goes on and on. On and on. The American Cancer Society jon so recall that when the shoe was on the other foot on democrats passed obamacare with no republican votes seven years ago, now republicans are in charge, and they believe they have the votes to get this thing at least passed through the house and then they will have that apparently celebration or some kind of ceremony with the president at the white house. We will continue to watch this as the vote gets underway, let you know how it goes. [distant shouting] patti ann those three protesters found guilty on charges of disrupting attorney general Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing. Two of them were dressed as ku klux klan members. They all faced up to a year in jail, one protester says her attorney will file a motion to have that verdict dismissed. Joining us now with more on this, brian claypool, criminal defense attorney and emily, former federal attorney and former criminal defense attorney, thank you both for joining us. So emily, where is the line drawn between lawful protests in disrupting a proceeding . Speak of this specific statute, destructive and disorderly is what is known as a catchall, so it means that it is a whole host of unruly or obnoxious behavior can fall into that category. For example, one of the protesters said, it wasnt an audible gasp, a mere laugh, i could not help myself. Clearly, that was discrete duty not construed disruptive because the guard approached her then she became quite audibly disruptive when she was being brought out so the nature of the statute is that there is a whole host of behavior that falls under it. More importantly, it speaks to the respective that seat so the fact of it protester came in with, as she stand stated, a intent to be a symbol of dissent that on its face violates the law unable to protest or demonstrate an capital building, and b, speaks to the fact she wanted to be disruptive. She earned a seat somehow in that room and did not respect the austerity regardless of her claiming that things were laughable. Patti ann we mention one of the protesters filing a motion to dismiss, what is the basis for that, and do you believe it has merit . I dont know the basis, but i was going to wear a pink tie this morning but i changed into a blue tie because i dont want to be arrested for wearing the wrong color and a proceeding. Let me tell you this. I think this is a politically motivated prosecution. I think the right thing to have done here was to go up and talk to that woman and say, you need to be quiet. If youre not going to be quiet, youve got to leave the proceeding. Her gasp, her response was no longer than a cough. So i cannot imagine now that we live in a society where you go to a legislative proceeding now, you even make any kind of remark, you are now prosecuted for a crime . This is not an ongoing disruptive proceeding. I picked to fit with emily on one point. This woman did not go there wanting to disrupt things. It is only when they came to get her aunt were dragging her out of there proceeding that she became disruptive. I think it is a waste of taxpayer money. Patti ann interesting, we will see where it all goes paid we have to move on to our second topic. A federal court has revived a lawsuit accusing u. S. Airways now part of American Airlines out refusing to refund the passengers baggage fee even though her bag arrived a day late. You say this is a straight breach of contract, explain. Absolutely. When you pay a fee to have your baggage carried on an airline, there is what is called a Condition Precedent to the contract. What that means is the airline has agreed to carefully transport your baggage from one location to another and get it to you on time. The fact that the line did not do that means they have reached an agreement. If i was that person if i have my garment bag not delivered to me on time for the day, not only good going to sue for the fee i paid but if i have to buy clothing in another suit and tie to come on fox, im going after the airlines for the cost of that clothing. I bet anything i could recover it. Patti ann on me that happens quite a lot, interesting question. Emily, could the airline end up on the hook for all kinds of delayed baggage if this is a being successful . You could argue that. The nature of this case, it is a procedural decision. For viewers, moving forward what is important to know is you can suit airlines under state law and really, it would be at the class action level that would be economically viable because otherwise, you could push for your refund and any cost associated but in terms of balancing out the fees of attorneys and court fees, it really makes sense on a class action level. Its important to know too that airlines can be on the hook regardless if they stay in the contract so if an airline merely promises specifically will have your bag in a timely manner and is not site we will give you 25,000 miles for example, they can still be on the hook for it, so for me it is a win for consumers. Patti ann thank you both so much. Jon we are going to take you back to the house floor because House Minority leader nancy pelosi is really building up some steam. As soon as we go there, that is Live Television for you. You heard the applause from her caucus there. She was really rarely during that last segment about the effects of this republican written bill to repeal and replace obamacare. She is not happy about it. Looks like democrats will go down in defeat, republicans think they have the vote. We will be back in just a couple minutes. Dnt recognize our gran. woman 2 vo thats when moderate alzheimers made me a caregiver. avo if their alzheimers is getting worse, ask about onceaday namzaric.

Jon fox news are learned, big day on capitol hill, republicans think they have the votes to pass legislation that begins the process of repealing and replacing obamacare. Here is the House Speaker paul ryan answering some of Nancy Pelosis charges. Lets listen in. For people to afford their health insurance. Lets give people more choices and more control over their care. Lets make Insurance Companies come in and compete for your business. Lets return power from washington to the states. Lets help get people peace of mind. Lets put the patients, not the bureaucrats at the center of the system. This will does all of those things. This bill delivers on the promises that we have made to the American People. You know, a lot of us have been waiting seven years to cast this vote. Many of us are here because we pledged to cast this very vote, to repeal and replace obamacare. To rescue people from this collapsing law. Are we going to meet this test . Are we going to be men and women of our word . Are we going to keep the promises that we made or are we going to falter . No. After all of this, after all of this, after seeing what is happening in iowa and around the country, after seeing this law collapsing, while we witness it across the country, knowing all the turmoil that is coming, we will not falter. We will replace, and today is the day that we are going to do this. Today, this house has the opportunity to do more than just fulfill a promise. We have the opportunity to raise error gaze and set a bold course for our country. We have the opportunity to show that we have the resolve to tackle the big challenges in this country before they tackle us. To stop the drift of arrogant Big Government policies in our lives and to begin a new era of reform based on liberty and selfdetermination. Giving people choices, letting them control their own destinies. That is the day that is before us right here. So let us pass this bill to take the next step to put obamacare behind us. Let us pass this bill to build a better Healthcare System for american families. Let us pass this bill to lead this country and leave it better than we founded because that is why we are here. That is what is at stake today. And that is why i am going to be so proud to cast my vote for this legislation. I urge all of my colleagues to do the same. Jon so the speaker of the house making his closing pitch to members of his conference as well as the democrats. We are awaiting the big vote on the sweeping overhaul of Barack Obamas Affordable Care act, big debate between the president ial candidates in france seems to be over as well. They are now out on the campaign trail Holding Public events. The latest on that race plus the latest on the vote on Obamacare Repeal next. Jon fox news earlier it, still about 20 minutes away from the final vote tally on the Obamacare Repeal and replacement legislation that is in the floor of the house. We told you a moment ago that nancy pelosi made her closing pitch trying to rally her members and any republicans she could convince against voting for this bill. Here is a little bit of the flavor of what nancy pelosi had to say to the rest of her colleagues. So we ask you, my colleague, just trumpcare Lower Health Costs . No does it provide better healthcare . No speaker does it protect seniors and families . No is a good for our families and veterans . No is there any caring and trumpcare at all . No speed when you heard her remarks in those of speaker ryan, we will update you on the boat as it goes on. Patti ann all of this in rural areas gets worse with fewer doctors and more cashstrapped hospitals, taking it closer look for our Denver Bureau is alicia. You mention cashstrapped hospitals, the situation is so bad in some cases there are no hospitals for miles. Nationwide Life Expectancy for someone living in Rural America is declining, and at the same time, city dwellers are living longer. That is according to the National World healthcare association. The reasons are complex but one stand out is the alarming lack of doctors in small towns, take park county, colorado, about a 90 minute drive from denver. It has a population of 16,000, but they have not had a physician for 2. 5 years. That is despite the fact they are offering the 600,000 stateoftheart medical facility for the bargain lease price of 1 a year. They applied last year for a federal grant she sweetly offered but were turned down. The grant we just lost down and went to midwestern and southern states, and they are in the same condition we are in. It is not just located in one spot, it is a national problem. These regions of the country have a higher percentage of people aged 65 or older and getting to medical care is more difficult. Park county folks end up driving up to two hours for a doctor which means problems are not treated soon enough. Where all of the doctors . And the Population Centers where the money is. The association of medical american colleges reports the average debt for new doctors graduated from college is close to 190,000, so these small towns afford them. Patti ann thank you.
