for members of congress or house or senate on either side of the aisle get ripped like this. these are important issues. is it beyond repair? i don t think it is. i think in the senate, there s a chance, although the 13 senator this is a selected, no women, all white men, doesn t give you much confidence, i think in the senate there is a chance to come up with a bill that keeps the affordable care act, matt said fatal flaws, i m not sure fatal flaws but fixes the things that need to be fixed and try work out some form of compromise. it can only be done in a bipartisan fashion. one fact matt said i need to correct. premiums in the five years before obamacare went up at a higher rate than premiums have in the five years after obamacare. the only thing i would go ahead. the only thing i would say to that are two things.
the resource certainty here has come out with a very strong statement as well as every, every major medical amnesty group from the nobody dies because they don t have access to healthcare. well, that did not take long. gop lawmakers who days ago voted to repeal obamacare and then had part in the rose garden at the white house already facing backlash back in their districts at town halls. congressman raul labrador you just saw trying to explain all hospitals are required by law to
the vulnerable and the sick and the in firmed. chairman of the american conservative union and ed rendell former governor of pennsylvania and chair of the democratic committee. this is reminiscent of 2010 democrats returned back to their districts talking about obamacare. i guess the thing i find particularly painful to me, everybody is so upset because health is so important yet the fact is that we aren t even sure what this bill will do and people haven t read it and we all have taken sides and declared either it s the worst thing or best thing and we have the american people so upset and justifiably so. what do we say? first, that lady had it right, she said every major medical organization, hospital, doctors, et cetera, have come out against it, obviously a more conservative bill than one 1700
look, i think if you had to put them in a chronological order, drain the swamp is probably down at the bottom as opposed to getting tax reform done, making sure we re renegotiating our bad trade deals, ensuring we re fixing obamacare, repairing and replacing that or putting in something new. i think at the end of the day, it s about the economy. so draining the swamp is a larger narrative, but what it s really about is putting people back to work. draining the swamp. see, donald trump s former campaign manager corey lewandowski could not have been more straightforward when he spoke to fox news about draining the swamp last december. today a new report lays out why. according to politico, a lobbying firm co-founded by lewandowski appears to have been pitching clients around the world by offering poll and i and political advice but also face time with president trump, vice president mike pence and senior members of the administration. people are familiar with lewandowski s pitch to pot
morale of the federal service, very bad for anybody who wants to plan on how to execute their obligations and responsibilities. there was a serious push to hold a vote in the house on the revised republican health care plan by tomorrow. margaret tom macarthur from new jersey and conservative freedom caucus chairman mark meadows cut a deal that would give states more flexibility and many conservatives jumped on board. i think we are there early next week. i think today everyone wanted to get it for the 100 day for trump, but i think a lot of scheduling, 450 people here, booked on saturday and sunday. i think early next week. democrats do not intend to health and thus the focus shifts to fixing obamacare. take repeal off the table, we are ready to talk to them. i like what the leader said when he said that their bill is coming back from the dead.
