country and we re looking at alternatives like state block grants and perhaps industry standards on putting penalties on pollution. so my understanding is that the $150 billion that was taken out by the clean electricity program, which i grant was the best course, that has been repurposed, other avenues that will have a dramatic impact on climate. so it s still a bill that would move the ball forward. and how long until joe mansion takes those out because he is devoted personally, i mean it, his family fortune comes from coal. he s the biggest defender of oil and coal companies in the congress, period. he is going to fight for his family s economic longevity. he ain t going to let none of that go through. kyrsten sinema appears only interested in protecting the wealthy and big pharma. you have two i don t know if they re democrats at this point. they won t allow any transformational change in that
asked him does this mean you are in? does this mean you are a yes? mccain made very clear, no it doesn t. helpful for the process but issue he talked about the senate floor and when he voted no remains the same. the process. sending to the straight to the floor without hearing. so far without cbo score the government support doesn t mean he s inclined so he s also very much up in the air. and what is in this new proposal? reporter: i think this is extremely important issue here, obviously this is one-sixth of the economy, very personal and this would be a dramatic change to the u.s. heealth care system. things like repealing individual and employer mandate. but one of the differences is unlike the past republican plans that would keep some generous subsidy, this would replace that system with state block grants. each state would get a block of money they would be table to decide how their health care would be able to operate. also end the medicaid 2020.
but beyond that, medicaid expansion. he s talking about doing state block grants. the problem is states might not cover medicaid sufficiently. that s going to cause problems, especially for the poor. that domino effects to everybody else. birth control for women. that s another thing they looked at saying they don t want to cover that. that causes lots of issues as well because unplanned pregnancies and those type of thing kz cause a lot of issues. there s a lot of details that need to be worked out to keep people healthy. that s the bottom line, making sure you keep the people healthy. keeping americans healthy and safe, that s an important part of the agenda. thank you so much. sknr we re going to take a break. coming up, the facebook collection. did the social media giant tip the scales of the electorate by allowing fake news stories to be shared unchallenged? good news for your 401(k)s, the dow hitting an all-time high. as we speak, 12 minutes into the trading day, and the mark
mid terms. of course this comes after he has taken repeated and very sharp aim at obamacare. take a listen to what he had to say. obamacare is a disaster. it s virtually dead. as far as i m concerned it really is dead. i predicted that a long time ago. it is a consent that doesn t work. and we are very close. we feel we have the votes. and as soon as we are finished with taxes, john, we really feel we have the votes to get block grants into the states where the states can much better manage this money and much better take care of the people rather than the federal government. the state block grants, we ll do massive block grants into the various states so that the states can run the program. of course you heard the president say we have the vote for block grants. not clear that that is actually true. president trump yesterday when he was in the rose garden in the impromptu news conference i asked him if he now essentially owns health care, if it is trump
