failing. and in those 18 counties that now have no insurance carrier on the exchanges, where are the people with pre-existing conditions in those counties going to get health insurance from. were we better off before obamacare? i believe we were. in other words, with no national program on health care. we re better off. i will tell you that we knew we needed major reforms in health care. no. before we had a national program like obamacare. we didn t have anything before 2009. do you think we re better off 2010, rather. i think we were better off without obamacare. but we needed health care reform. we didn t have anything. the republicans never cooked up anything. the democrats were never able to. you re saying obamacare is worse than nothing. absolutely it is. because we don t want the federal government running health care. we simply don t. in the past year, kaiser health tracking polls have shown the affordable care act has been, has seen an increase in pop larts.
going to repeal on cnn i said look up the word repeal, it means to get rid of it. everybody can remember ten years ago. and the way the mainstream media. 90% of mainstream media folks supported hillary clinton so it s clear they want the obamacare product. they ll never give you the accurate cbo numbers and accurate polling. ask people, would you rather have your own doctor and cheaper insurance like 20 years, we all remember that, or have the federal government running health care for you? it s not an enumerated in the constitution, the military is. the lasik eye surgeries, tiger woods, et cetera, the market was 6 grand and when the market is in play we keep cheaper and more variety and less taxes. what a pleasure to have you on, congressman. your home state did well,
good morning. i m john berman. 30 minutes from now the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare faces a new hurdle, a showdown inside the house budget committee. this as 19 republicans say they re leaning against or planning to vote no. my next guest is one of them, congressman dave bratt of virginia who sits on the budget committee. you get to vote on this bill as it s written today. just checking, you re a no vote today. no vote, yep. nothing is going to change that? we want to get to a yes. the major issue we have today on the front page of the national journal, both the right and the left policy experts concede that this plan still has too many elements of obamacare in it at the structural level. you have the federal government running health care for 300 million people. as a free market economist, i could get sued for malpractice
where they re up by, like, 145%. i know my premiums have gone up 30% for the past two years in a row. i m having trouble finding a primary care physician because doctors don t want to sign up for it. you know, we were promised that we could keep our health plans. i liked my health plan before with blue cross, blue shield in maryland. don t have access to that anymore. it s not competitive. you ve got insurance companies dropping out of states, so now it s becoming monopolies, almost sheer monopolies. and the big metrics they wanted was, well, we re going to ensure more people. maybe but the fact is a lot of those people have moved to medicaid. we already had medicaid. you didn t need a government-mandated running health care in order to do that. so, you know, people don t like it. it s despised by the majority of people out there. i say let s move on. we re not going to get any sicker, we re going to get healthier. dagen: eight out of ten americans, julie, want obamacare changed.
