responding to twitter and say republicans, rip it off and repeal it and we ll worry about it, is that scary strategy to you? that is a scary strategy if you look at people with preexisting condition and all of the people who come in to signing up for the affordable care act that don t have a gun against their heads and looking at accusations of the right regarding this legislation and what it would do to our economy, that did not turn out to be true. unemployment is lower. melissa: hang on, hang on. what everyone predicted about the price of premiums going higher and higher is what happened as opposed to what president obama said that they would drop 150 per year and that did not happen either. sarah and go aed head leslie. respond. but here is the problem
january 20th. interesting little nuggets there. and that is advisor to alabama senator jeff sessions. and sarah, go with you. your reaction to what you just heard. the vice-president elect laid out the case. there was a series of promises that the the president made pitching obamacare and they turned out to be false. and chuck schumer the guy said in 2014 said it was a mistake to pass it in the first place. it was interesting what senator mcconnell had to say about the supreme court nomination. he repeated what chuck schumer said they didn t want nominees in 18 month and now not at all. melissa: people are
words of wikileaks leader julian assange to question the u.s. intelligence officials. we ll see you then. melissa: democrats are gearing up for the first new fight of the congress as republicans move to replace obamacare. they want to keep revisions with regard to preexisting conditions. they want to keep the young people on their parent s policies until they are 26 years old. but at the same time, you don t have a decent replacement. melissa: kentucky senator rand paul on the homeland security committees. he said and you outline ideas for replacement. try freedom to choose inexpensive insurance and unlimited amounts of health
replace obamacare which the democrats own, we will own next. and it is important for people to keep plan and families are cover canned. melissa: hot on the heels of a campaign, congresswoman dingle, bernie sanders got to the podium and he said this. let s listen. donald trump said he will not cut social security. he will not cut medicare. he will not cut medicaid. either donald trump simply lied to the elderly and working people of the country. donald trump has to come forward and say clearly that donald trump will veto any legislation that cuts medicare, that cuts medicaid or cuts social security. melissa: congresswoman dingle, what do you think? i was glad to hear are bernie say that.
understand that particularly with regard to the national security team, secretary of defense, cia, homeland security, it would make a lot of sense to have those folks in place on day one. and i hope we get to the point where that will be possible. thank you. thank you. [inaudible] yeah, we are going to move forward with the obamacare resolution first and we ll take the second step a little later. how much later? i will call on my colleagues here as well. i think the vice-president elect did a good job of laying out the failed promises of obamacare. in a prior life i was attorney general of the state of texas
