casting doubt. some republican senators are calling for more time to debate the controversial bill to replace obamacare. >> in pakistan, more than 150 people confirmed dead. this after a fuel tanker exploded. >> at an exclusive interview with man who fought for isis linked militants in the philippines. >> live from cnn world head quarters in atlanta. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom."
12:01 am
>> good day to you. fair to say it is a crucial week for health care in the united states on the line insurance coverage for millions of americans. u.s. president is hoping to make good on a campaign promise to repeal and replace the affordable care act doned as obamacare. republican leaders are aiming to hold a vote on the new health care legislation this week but the senate bill inity current form does not appear to have enough votes to pass. >> so president trump is working the phones. trying to convince reluctant republican senators to change their minds. listen to how the trump administration is defending the senate plan. >> the plan that we have would put in place with not allow individuals to fall through the cracks. we would not pull the rug out from under anyone. we would not have individuals lose coverage that they want tore themselves and for their family. we want to make certain that health care is available to all-americans. >> as early as monday the congressional budget office is expected to givity analysis of
12:02 am
how many people will lose coverage under the new plan. now asheena jones has more now. >> hi there. shaping up to be another monume monumental week in the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare. mitch mcconnell wanting to hold a hearing on the bill this week. at least right now there are enough republican senators who expected opposition to this bill to effectively kill it. several others have expressed concerns about the bill. conservatives fear that it is not go far enough to undo obamacare. meanwhile more moderate senators feel it might leave the needy, most needy americans behind. senator susan collin, from maine, the white house is arguing that changes to that program should not be viewed as
12:03 am
cuts. watch what senator collins and kellyanne conway had to say about this this week. >> it is lecertainly going to b very difficult, for my part, i'm very concerned about the cost of insurance for older people with serious chronic illnesses. and the impact of the medicaid cuts on our state governments, the most vulnerable people in our society. and health care providers such as our rural hospitals and nursing homes. most of whom are very dependent on the medicaid program. >> these are not medicaid to cuts. this slows the rate for the future and allows more flexibility to medicaid dollars. because they are the closest to the people in need. medicaid's founding was meant to help the poor, sick, needy, disabled, children, some elderly, womening with in particular pregnant women. we are trying to get them back to the original --
12:04 am
>> you hear kelly talk about stoppinging the expansion allowed under obamacare and putting a cap on the amount of money states get in the future isn't the same as cutting it. other moderate gop senators and governors disagree. i should mention that budget office which scored an earlier version of the bail, the house version, which had similar changes to medicaid found it would apart to more than $800 billion in cuts. now we do expect, we could get the cwo's score of this latest version of the bill as soon as tomorrow. as soon as monday. that will good a long way to letting senators know what the cost of the bill will be. what its impact will be on the deficit and of course how it'll effect the american public. how many people stand to potentially lose insurance coverage. president trump himself has been hitting the phones. he has spoken with senators ted
12:05 am
cruz and rand paul it try to win them, to get the bill across the finish line. but senate whip john cornyn acknowledged that it is going to be close. there's a lot to watch out for this week. >> thanks to athena jones there. meantime, president trump is trying to shift the focus on the russian investigation. the struggle to respond to russia's interference in the president bl election. >> you remember mr. trump seemed indifferent to allegations throughout his campaign. and after his election. but now, the president says this. quote, since the obama administration was told way before the 2016 election that russians were meddling, why no action? focus on them, not t. exclamation point. the house committee agrees more should have been done. listen. >> the her can people needed to
12:06 am
know and i didn't think it was enough to tell them after the election but rather given the seriousness of this i think the administration needed to call out russia earlier. needed to act to deter and punish russia earlier. and i this i that was a serious mistake. >> a professor of international politics at city university of london and he joins us now from london. many things, sir. so let's start with the russia investigation and mr. trump is as we saw trying to shift the blame and focus to his predecessor barack obama. is that likely to work for mr. trump? will he get some traction with this? >> well, to some extent it is a legitimate question. if while in office president obama was aware of this, this interference, then the onus does fall on that administration to try to do its very best. key issue is, what was the
12:07 am
response when republican leaders were approached this with this kind of information. and what was the basis upon which that strategy that obama apparently adopted to counter interference, what was the efd on whi evidence on which it was based? it is a deflection strategy. but there are issues that rise from the whole issue of russian collusion and russian probe overall. which i hope we can go into in a moment. >> yes, i wanted to go to this other political battle. the president facing health care bill which looks like it is in trouble right now. some republicans asking for more time to debate the changes. while gop leaders push for vote before the july fourth recess. after all this time, why the hurry and if the vote moves too fast, could it kill the bill perhaps? >> yes. the entire agenda some certain
12:08 am
respects, one is to do with health care. that is the fact that it doesn't like the particular bill passed. the other is to secure the political base which president trump works hard it try to maintain. and i think the hurry is effectively to try to damage the one, which is the existing health care law, and to try to secure the other. and i do believe that this could be the undoing of this administration. because up to now, there has been very little tangible damage to a large core of his voting base. on anything that president trump has actually done. so the muslim travel ban and issues about the mexican wall and so on, none of those tangibly affect his core base in terms of their pock pets thp health care bill is very likely to affect millions of supporters and voters and i this i there is a desire to try to deflect attention to that by putting it on to the health care act that obama passed.
12:09 am
but i think there some -- if you like some nods towards the fact that obama care bill, law, was not as bad as it was made out for a long time. the provisions appear to be maintained. >> interesting. you're saying that this heal mg care bill could be the undoing of the trump administration? we note president himself apparently called the senate health care bill mean and said he wanted to see if bill was hard. if that is how the president feels about it, why is he pushing so hard for this vote on this particular bill in its current form? >> well, the key issue is that there's going to be a massive cut in medicaid going forward. despite the denial is you had on your tape earlier on. it kings in around 20 21, as i understand it. i think there's an attempt to make a very large change. put it into the future for when
12:10 am
it does really begin to kick in. maintain a couple provisions of the obama care which is to do with the under 26 age group who can stay on their parents policies as well as anybody with preexisting conditions. but going forward after 2021 this will hit a very large number of people. the report today is likely to show something along those lines. i think this is a political maneuver in order to delie the impact of this law until after the next presidential election but say that now i'm actually doing what i said i would do. i would undo the whole obama administration's attitude toward the state, toward health care, toward foreign policy and so or not. i think that is playing to the core base which he wants it to secure. i think once it kicks in a lot of supporters will be severely impacted and i that i could be a big problem. >> we'll be watching to see what happens.
12:11 am
it is the issue of this week. palmer joining us there from london where it is just after 8:00 in the morning. thanks for your analogies. we appreciate it. >> and your report, that will be telling for the future of this legislation for trump care millions of americans families a are worrying about losing coverage for sick children. ethan is one of them. he was born with a condition where some organs form on the wrong side of his body. his mother tweeted his latest hospital bill and that went viral. >> yeah, she wrote this. seems fit that with the trump care debate raging i got this bill in the mail today from region's most recent open heart surgery. she paid just $500 after the rest was covered by insurance. but she said without insurance they would have owed about $231,000 for about two weeks in hospital.
12:12 am
incredible numbers. >> here's the thing. senate bill could allow insurers to cover fewer services with preexisting conditions like allison's son whob is now three years old p. and she is begging law makers to consider the fate of children like ethan. >> i don't think anyone can look a it-year-old child in the face and say, i think that you're not worth it. but what they're doing with the lifetime cap is saying you've used enough resources. i'm sorry you're born sick. i'm sorry your mother chose life for you and you were born sick. but that life is not worth saving any more. you can't call yourself pro life if you're not willing to be part after system that protects the most vulnerable. protects life from birth to death. >> and that was allison speaking to cnn's new day a little earlier. one of the most talked about provisions in the senate health bill, the defunding of planned
12:13 am
parenthood for one year. that could be a sticking point for at least two he is not pours -- two senators. think say they will introduce an amendment to take that out. >> elizabeth cohen looks at how the funding cut could impact one another in the u.s. state of california. >> daddy's home. >> after suffering infertility and three miscarriages, ariana and kevin gonzalez were thrilled when she became pregnant with daughter, bailey. but they were worried too. >> we needed to make sure that this pregnancy was going to stick and was going to be healthy and in order to do that, off to mexico we went. >> that's right. off to mexico. that's because the gonzalezs live in el centro, california.
12:14 am
ariana has health insurance through her job as a high school teachers but there are not enough doctors to go around so she would have it wait six weeks to see her obstetrician. that's why she was relieved when a planned parenthood clinic opened in her town filling the void. but now she is worried all over again. >> ayes are 217. nays are 213. >> that could force her clinic to close. the clinic where she gets birth control and gynecological care. and if it closed she would be right back where she started. >> if your clinic closes down, you would leave your country to get care? >> yes. i know people might be thinking, that's a little bit drastic. and it is. >> she doesn't want it leave the country and face this long line at the boarder but over here at the border at mem cxico, there
12:15 am
plenty of doctors ready to see americans. she will have access to care in the united states. while the health care bill takes money from planned parenthood. it has millions to beef up clinics like this one in her town. >> there are 20 community federal health centers. vast vastly bigger in network. without controversy sur runding this issue. >> many experts say community health clinics can't fill the void left by planned parent should closures. that they simply don't have the capacity. now ariana has the message for senators. before they vote to defund planned parenthood. >> before the doors are shut you will drive your constituents to a different country. aeb thatand that's not america. >> i think it's shameful.
12:16 am
and i think they should be embarrassed. >> elizabeth cohen, cnn, california. >> thank you. later trump will meet with the pred of india. the president wants it reduce america's trade deficit and currently there's a $24 billion frayeding balance with india. >> mr. trump has been critical of the h-1b work visa. about 70% of those go to tech from india. now that they have withdrawn, they are looking to taking a le leadership role on global issues p. we will take a break. but first, a ship goes under with 28 dead and 30 still missing. we're back in a moment.
