cyber, on all of the other things to make sure that they can t do this again and we got to help allies, too. we got to make sure we help the europeans with their elections block this interference from coming. that s what i think we should focus on. you agree to a degree at least with donald trump assessing that this is the poll litization of intelligence? i think it has been poll l politiciz politicized. once donald trump gets to know the committee as i know well. when you re second in line, you get the same briefings. he s going to learn there is a lot of good men and women in the intelligence committee that risk their lives to keep us safe and i think he ll learn the value they have. i completely understand why he is frustrated eight, nine days before his inauguration, this junk gets thrown out there. so you were talking about donald trump winning, one of the reasons he won especially in places like the great state of pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin wisconsin.
thank you. have a seat. hi, everybody. [ applause ] thanks so much for being here. the number one issue right now on capitol hill is the repeal of obama care. the senate passed the first measure to begin the process. the house is going to do that tomorrow. we have lots of questions in obama care, a lot of other issues. i want to start with one philosophical question about health care. during the campaign, donald trump was asked about health care on 60 minutes. he said quote this is an unrepub for me to say. he said quote the government will pay for it. do you share that philosophy at all that the government should guarantee health care, health insurance for every american? i don t see it as the government having to pay for it. i think we all have to contribute. there is a role in government for it, no doubt about it. let me say this, i believe we can and should have a system in this country where everybody can
the great state of wisconsin, i suppose. go packers. all right. is that was this position on trade? it really motivated a lot of voters. it s a position you don t share. i want to introduce you to bill jones. he s a tool and diamond maker and runs a medium sized manufacturing company. mr. speaker, i have concern about our trade deals, our unfair trade. we have lost in the past decade probably hundreds of jobs. our community has lost thousands of jobs. these are good jobs in the community with health care and retirement benefits. i actually started supporting mr. trump more when he started talking about fixing the trade deals. our support grew because without trade deals and fixing them, our country will not have good paying jobs we need. now my question to you, mr. speaker is how will you as
insurance because of the medicaid expansion. medicate was expanded in states that acre cemented that money. are there a lot of people lower income who wonder what is going to happen whether they are on medicaid or not, please? where are you from again? fort pierce, florida. florida. you want to give tax credits instead of insuring people. what if a person is can i get you right there. it s tax credits to buy insurance. okay. what if a person makes so little that they don t have to pay taxes? will they still have access to the federal yeah, that s what i m trying to say here in this last question. so a tax credit, the way we described it when we say refundable, you get it no matter you pay taxes or not. it s a voucher to buy health insurance and for medicaid some states do a good job for medicaid and some don t do as well. the problem that we re seeing in medicaid is more and more doctors just won t take medicaid. because they lose money on medicaid. it s so over r
abortion and planned parenthood is the largest abortion provider. so we don t want to effectively commit taxpayer money to an organization providing abortibos but make sure people get coverage. make sure these dollars go to federal community health centers which provide services and have a last larger network than planned parenthood networks that are surrounded by controversy and we don t want to commit people s taxpayers dollars to fund something morally unc lly taxpayers don t fund abortions right now, right? because of the amendment. they get a lot of money and, you know, money is fundable and effectively floats these organizations that use other money, money is fungible. you don t have this controversy by funding health centers. a lot of people on social media want me to ask you about medicare and your plans for medicare.
