SENATE REPUBLICANS FAILED TO PASS THE REPEAL EFFORT OR A
REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WITH A SIMPLE MAJORITY,
AND TRUMP CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY THEIR HAND AT THIS
AGAIN NEXT YEAR, AND THAT THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN, ALTHOUGH WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
THEY
COULDN'T EVEN PASS IT WITH A SIMPLE MAJORITY.
SPEAKING TO THE
PRESS, TRUMP SAID THAT HE WILL TAKE MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS
WHEN IT COMES TO ONE PARTICULAR ISSUE IN REGARD TO HEALTHCARE --
HE WANTS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE ACROSS
STATE LINES.
I'M CONSIDERING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ASSOCIATIONS AND THAT
WILL TAKE CARE OF A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH REGARD TO
HEALTHCARE, AND I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING A VERY MAJOR EXECUTIVE
ORDER WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO OUT ACROSS STATE LINES AND BUY THEIR
OWN HEALTHCARE, AND THAT WILL BE PROBABLY SIGNED NEXT WEEK, IT'S
BEING FINISHED NOW.
THE REST OF HIS QUOTE WAS IT'S GOING TO COVER A LOT OF
TERRITORY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING A VERY MAJOR EXECUTIVE ORDER.
THAT
WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO CROSS STATE LINES, DO A LOT OF THINGS.
BUT I MEAN, I'LL PROBABLY --
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT SAYS I'LL PROBABLY DO ANYTHING?
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENTS AS DO A LOT OF THINGS?
I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING -- THEN SIGN IT.
YOU ARE THE
EXECUTIVE.
IT'S NOT JUST A MAJOR ORDER, IT'S A VERY MAJOR ORDER.
IT'S VERY MAJOR.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS
EXECUTIVE ORDER, IF IT'S FOUND TO BE ONE THAT COULD EVEN BE PUT
INTO EFFECT, BECAUSE THERE'S A BIG QUESTION MARK IN REGARD TO
WHETHER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE
REGULATIONS THAT STATES HAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
AS YOU GUYS
KNOW, REGULATIONS VARY STATE-BY-STATE.
SOME OF THE RED
STATES HAVE WAY LESS REGULATIONS FOR PRIVATE INSURANCE, SOME OF
THE BLUE STATES HAVE STRICTER REGULATIONS.
SO WHEN YOU CREATE
A SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE CAN BUY INSURANCE ACROSS STATE LINES,
WHAT DO YOU THINK INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO DO?
THEY
ARE GOING TO STATES WHERE THERE ARE THE LEAST REGULATIONS AND
IT'S GOING TO BE A RACE TO THE BOTTOM.
LESS REGULATIONS MEAN
THAT US THE CONSUMER GET SCREWED OVER.
THAT'S ONE REASON YOU
AREN'T ALLOWED TO BUY ACROSS STATE LINES, IT GIVES STATES
MORE SAY IN HOW THE COMPANIES ARE RUN.
IF IT MERELY GIVES PEOPLE MORE CHOICE ON THE SURFACE IT SEEMS
--
ON THE SURFACE IT SEEMS GREAT.
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING IT I'M SURE IT ISN'T.
THAT'S A JOKE BUT IT ISN'T.
IT'S SO AT ODDS WITH THE LEGISLATION THEY JUST TRIED TO
PASS.
HE SAYS WE WILL PASS SOMETHING NEXT YEAR -- THE RULES
CHANGE NEXT YEAR.
THE REASON THEY ARE HURRYING IT FOR
SATURDAY IS THAT BECAUSE THEY WILL NEED 60 SENATORS AFTER
SATURDAY, HE WON'T HAVE 60 SENATORS, DEMOCRATS AREN'T GOING
TO COME FLOCKING TO GRAHAM CASSIDY AFTER THIS IS DONE.
THIS
IS AT ODDS WITH THAT BILL, IT'S SO HAPHAZARD THE WAY THIS
GOVERNMENT IS BEING RUN.
I MADE LIGHT OF IT, BUT HE SAYS HE WILL
CROSS STATE LINES TO BUY INSURANCE, DO A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THOSE ARE?
HE CLEARLY DOESN'T.
HERE'S THE THING ABOUT TRUMP IN THIS HEALTHCARE DEBATE.
HE
HAS BEEN BULLYING GOP SENATORS WHO REFUSED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF
IT BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTUALLY SHOCKINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS AND WHAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT, BUT AT THE
SAME TIME TRUMP IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE DISCUSSIONS AT
ALL. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THESE
PROPOSALS INCLUDE, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS, ALL HE WANTS
IS A LEGISLATIVE WIN.
HE HASN'T PORED OVER STUDIES, HOW IT MIGHT
IMPACT CONSUMERS OR HOW IT MIGHT NEGATIVELY IMPACT AMERICANS WHO
NEED INSURANCE, DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT, DOESN'T KNOW,
ISN'T INTERESTED.
HE'S TOO BUSY TWEETING AT FIVE IN THE MORNING
AFTER WATCHING WHATEVER CABLE NEWS SHOW HE'S WATCHING.
AND
THAT'S THE THING, HE IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY BULLYING LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE AT LEAST
SOME KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON.
THERE ARE 48 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND HANDFUL OF HER
PUBLIC AND SENATORS WHO WOULD I PRESUME BE INTERESTED IN FIXING
OBAMACARE AND BOLSTERING IT IN PLACES IT NEEDS TO BE BOLSTERED.
LAMAR ALEXANDER AND PATTY MURRAY WERE WORKING ON IT UNTIL
THEY SAID THEY ARE BRINGING IN GRAHAM CASSIDY, WE DON'T
NEED TO WORK ON IT.
THERE'S A GREAT LINE THAT'S WORTH READING.
TRUMP SAID,
TALKING ABOUT GRAHAM CASSIDY, THE 52 MEMBER CAUCUS HAS UNTIL
SATURDAY BUT SENATOR MCCONNELL PULLED THE VOTE AS IT LACKS
SUPPORT.
TRUMP CLAIMED REPUBLICANS DO HAVE THE
NECESSARY VOTES, THOUGH HE LATER SAID WE ARE ONLY ONE OFF, MAYBE
TWO.
THEN HE REPEATEDLY INSISTED THAT A REPUBLICAN SENATOR,
LIKELY REFERRING TO SENATOR THAD COCHRAN, WHO IS RECOVERING FROM
SURGERY, IS UNLIKELY YES BUT HE'S RECOVERING IN THE HOSPITAL.
A SENATOR FOR COCHRAN SAID THE SENATOR IS NOT IN THE HOSPITAL.
ITS MADNESS AND LUNACY AND GIBBERISH, AND BY THE WAY ALL
THIS EFFORT TO REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS
UNDERMINED THE WAY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WORKS.
THAT WAS A BIG FEAR OF ALL THE SENATORS.
KNOW THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN IT HAS
EVER BEEN AND THEY WON'T TRY TO FIX IT, WE HAVE TRUMP NOW SAYING
HE WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER WHERE IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHETHER
HE WILL BE ABLE LEGALLY TO HAVE ANY EFFECT AT ALL, AND THE ODDS
THAT AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FIXES WHAT IS WRONG WITH OBAMACARE AND
HELPS PEOPLE GET MORE AFFORDABLE INSURANCE STRIKES ME AS
INCONCEIVABLE.
AND TO BE CLEAR, THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF HELPING TO IMPROVE
OBAMACARE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA
POLITICALLY.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS, BECAUSE TRUMP FIRST OF
ALL WANTS TO UNDO ANYTHING OBAMA HAS DONE, EVEN IF IT'S A GOOD
POLICY, AND WE ALL LIKE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED, THERE ARE DEFINITELY FLAWS, BUT
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FOUNDATION WHICH WE IMPROVE ON.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THAT, TO PUT POLITICS ASIDE AND
SAY LET'S DO SOMETHING TO HELP THESE INCREASING PREMIUMS,
MAYBE SOME COST CONTROLS.
BUT THEY AREN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN DOING THAT,
THEY WANT TO SEE IT FAIL.
AND WE KNOW FROM REPORTING THAT WHAT SOME REPUBLICANS ARE
HOPING HAPPENS IS THAT THEY JUST WAIT AND TRUMP SAID TODAY FROM A
REPUBLICAN STANDPOINT WE HAVE THE VOTES, WE WILL VOTE IN
JANUARY, FEBRUARY, OR MARCH.
TO DO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PASS
ANOTHER CONTINUING RESOLUTION, AND DECIDE THEY WANT TO DO IT ON
HEALTHCARE AND NOT THE BUDGET, BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE,
UNLESS THEY COMBINED THEM.
WHICH IS SUPER TRICKY, TO COMBINE
THEM.
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
SO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO DO IT IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY, OR MARCH WITH 50 VOTES
IS UNLIKELY.
BUT THEY HOPE THAT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED, WE KNOW THEY WANT AND WE HAVE SEEN
WIDELY REPORTED, THEY WANT PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE PLAN TO
FAIL SO THEY CAN REPEAL THE THING THAT HAS BARACK OBAMA'S
NAME ON IT.
THAT'S MADNESS, THAT'S INSANITY.
BY THEN WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE DEALING WITH ROBERT
MUELLER AND WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SOME OF THESE REPUBLICANS, THE CLOSER
WE GET TO THE MIDTERMS IN 2018, THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED AND BE
IN CHARGE OF REPEALING IT?
AND I THINK WHAT PAUL RYAN HAD SAID
APPARENTLY AT ONE POINT TO MITCH MCCONNELL WAS WHATEVER YOU PASS,
WE WILL PASS.
SO THAT THEY COULD GET IT DONE AT THE DEADLINE.
THEN YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT SOME VULNERABLE NUMBERS OF THE HOUSE
AND I SUSPECT AS WE GET INTO MARCH, APRIL, AND MAY, THEY WILL
SAY I DON'T WANT TO REPEAL PEOPLE'S HEALTHCARE FOR
MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
BUT THEIR PLAN CONTINUES TO BE TO WEAKEN OBAMACARE.
AND HIS PLAN IS TO CONTINUE BULLYING SENATORS AND
CONGRESSMEN.
TODAY HE WAS IN INDIANA SELLING TAX REFORMS, HE
FLEW WITH SENATOR JOE DONNELLY ON AIR FORCE ONE TO INDIANA, DID
HIS RALLY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RALLY LOOKED AT JOE DONNELLY AND
SAID IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THIS WE WILL WORK SO HARD TO MAKE
SURE YOU ARE NOT ELECTED, AFTER HE FLEW HIM OUT THERE.
ON THE
ONE HAND HE'S A REPUBLIC AND PRESIDENT COME HE'S NOT GOING TO
WORK HARD TO GET JOE DONNELLY ELECTED, A DEMOCRAT IN INDIANA.
BUT IT'S THIS THREATENING AND BULLYING, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
THAT'S WHAT HE LOVES TO DO.
IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, DON'T GET ON THE PLANE.
