What you saw were significant divisions between republicans on health care policy. the reality of this is, the affordable care act requires these insurers to offer these essentially breaks on cost-sharing to lower income americans so what president trump did is he said look, congress needs to actually appropriate this money, congress never appropriated money for the cost-sharing subsidies so it is congress job which is why lamar alexander and patty murray deserve credit for engaging in these discussions. didn t the president take it further and say i don t support it even if congress moves that way that s why it s going nowhere now. the president initially said i like the idea of a bipartisan deal and then apparently he didn t. the reality is, the president is going to have to weigh in on this positively if it s going to get across the finish line with rirns republicans. his influence and measure of support for a bipartisan deal will be tremendously important to doing this. i thin ....
President is also cutting subsidies to lower income americans who rely on those subsidies to pay for health insurance. so that puts a lot of pressure on the health insurance markets, because with fewer customers, insurance companies are likely to raise rates, even to leave certain markets altogether. several organizations, some 20 health care organizations, have come out expressing criticism about the executive order, including the american cancer society, the national governors association has also spoken out against the cuts to subsidies, as well as some democrats, including democratic leadership in congress, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi putting out a statement calling the executive order spiteful and cruel. keep in mind, fred, he is going to need their help to bring about any profound change to the affordable care act, after republicans twice failed in the senate to get even a simple majority. so the president is not only putting pressure on health insurance markets, but also on ....
Definitely good. and the white house has intentionally sabotaged the current marketplace. they have done absolutely nothing to tell insurance companies what the rules are. what do you mean by that? starting at the election and accelerating into the presidency, they refuse to tell insurance companies whether they ll be paid back for $7 billion worth of subsidies that help lower out of pocket costs to the lowerest income americans buying health insurance. so insurance companies don t know about the rules. they told the irs do not enforce the individual mandate. which helps encourage younger and healthier people to come into the market. so in a sense in a sense that kind of uncertainty has scared off you know, insurance companies? no question. not in a sense, every ceo of an insurance company who has left a ....
I haven t seen you guys out there meeting with the drum that you are protecting people with conditions previous to their coverage. the last bill that died in the house had a scant 17%. a majority of americans vigorously opposed it. that may be true of this one once the polling is done. americans grew accustomed to obamacare over its 7 years, opposition to it abated over time. if your party gets rid of it, might you pay a steep price in the mid-term elections? i don t think so. when you combine the premium reductions with more enrollment which will allow us to cover those who are sick with preexisting conditions. people will have more access to healthcare at more premium rates. that s the whole purpose behind the guaranteed renewability. so you will have a better product when all is said and ....
Repeal one of the worst job killing laws of all. it will replace this disaster with more choices and more freedom for american families. now i m calling on the senate to take action. reporter: getting the senate to take action will be the big hurdle and big problem. democrats are saying this bill will literally kill people. senate republicans are saying we ll couple with a bill all by ourselves. completely different from the house bill. the two sticking issues are preexisting conditions and medicaid cuts. this new bill states that the states have individual they can make the individual decision to decide whether insurance could charge more for preexisting conditions. on the medicaid cuts, you have senators like rob portman who are saying you have lower income ....
