endorse the impacts. but they are endorsing a pretty difficult day. lie lisa murkowski said she is hearing there won t be a vote, but there are still people pushing for it. and it is all in the context of that race down in alabama. he is a current senator fighting against moore. that is placing a bigger role than you might think. kasie hunt, thank you for popping down and popping up on this show for us. appreciate it. it is not just house speaker paul ryan. i m speaking with rmg president trump s nfl tweets after the break.
while chuck schumer was on the floor talking about the bipartisan nature of the current cr negotiation. perry is right. you could see he didn t offered a qualified opinion there. there won t be a vote by saturday. i think this process now is actually taking on it is more reflective of a normal process, of growing the vote, having house leadership go out there and find a number of folks that are no, but are then maybes and then turn them from maybes to yeses. that will take a lot longer than by saturday. what do you make this is something that happened this week and all of a sudden wasn t happening anymore, which was president trump talking about how he was going to withdraw the u.s. from nafta. it was kind of leaked from the banion wing of the white house, that they were preparing to do this. trump did tweets about it and all of a sudden phone calls between president trump with the leaders of mexico and canada and now he was renegotiating. it seems to me this is what we re going
number down some. there s a lot of people saying no or saying i m not going to say yes. until they have those nailed down, they probably shouldn t have a vote. this, phil, is worse than the first one. when you think about they re trying to foist it on to governors, governors do not want to create high-risk pools that cause women who are have preexisting conditions like breast cancer, for their premiums to go up $28,000 as one study showed. if you have metastatic cancer, the premiums would go up $140,000. you would be priced out of the market. governors don t want that responsibility. they hate this idea. plus, of course, people still get thrown off of medicaid. so you ve got 14 million people out, you ve got people with preexisting conditions who are priced out. this is going nowhere. kevin, democrats are saying if the republicans have a vote on healthcare this week, that they re not going to cooperate with the government spending bill, which also comes tu i think friday. yeah,
looks as if it was resurrected. we are getting a new look at new legislation party leaders hope will please conservatives and moderates. joining me is congresswoman diane black, a republican of tennessee and chair of the budget committee in the house of representatives. thanks for joining us. appreciate it. you re welcome, jake. great to be with you. tell us the latest on republican healthcare efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. do you think there will be a vote on this friday or saturday? we re not sure yet. there are a couple of measures still being looked at by the various folks that were not on board before, but the latest amendment has really helped us to be able to satisfy a lot of people s concerns. and, look, it is not a perfect bill but i think it is a bill worthy of moving forward, and there are still things that can be added. this is just a first step. obviously the senate have a bite at the apple, and then we ll be having conference committee that gives us anothe
analysis of this one yet, and it looks like the vote might happen before that. while you are talking about allowing states to make decisions, the bill is also going to allow states to opt out of requiring that insurance companies cover people with preexisting conditions. you re a nurse for decades. yes. doesn t that concern you? that s not so, and that is what has been talked about in the media but that s not so. this latest provision says that if a state decides that they re going to do certain measures on preexisting conditions, they must have an alternative, and that is they must have an alternative within their state, or they come into the federal government s high-risk can pool. there might be an opportunity for people with preexisting conditions to be covered just as there were in our original measure. i want to ensure you know, as you say, jake, i am a nurse. i want to assure people we are going to take care of, as has been promised in the previous measure and as promise
