>> this morning the president tweeting this. don't give up, republican senators. the world is watching. ridiculous and replace. go to 51 votes. get across state lines and more. kellyanne conway said the president will decide this week if the administration will make obamacare cost-sharing payments andfuture of health care cost-sharing payments were topics of discussion on the sunday shows today. we will from health and human services secretary tom price and maine republican senator susan collins on meet the press as well as remarks from house minority leader nancy pelosi on fox news sunday. if they come up with a fixed but helps essentially give some certainty to the insurance ruralies to go into

markets are you then go on to implement the affordable care act as it was meant to be including encouraging people to sign up encouraging enrollment in medicaid expansion? flex our responsibility is to follow the law and we take that seriously and we will continue to do so. the current law right now is feeling the american people. counties that will no longer have any insurance company next year. that's a choice for anybody. counties righte now that only have one insurance company providing coverage. that's not the choice for anybody. premiums and deductibles are up. people having insurance card and. insurers clean the market. -- bullying the market. -- fleeing the market. what the president has said. that's why we need repeal and replace. >> are you confident that secretary price is trying to

you are youw afloat some aspects of aging just implementation right now that are undermining the law? attempting to create more problems in owner to force congress to act? >> i'm troubled by the uncertainty that has been created by the administration the subsidiesto given to low income people to help them with the appropriate deductibles. after this described by some as an insurance company bailout. it is vital assistance to people who made between 100 and 250% of the poverty level and allows them to afford their out-of-pocket costs and the uncertainty about whether the

subsidy is going to continue from month-to-month is clearly contributing to the destabilization of the insurance market. let's one thing that congress needs to end. thated to make very clear subsidy is important to those low income people and we need to appropriate the money to ensure that it continues. with the defeat of repeal and replace it in the senate do you think the republican effort to repeal obama care is dead yet? >> the american people have spoken. we saw and out pouring of stories of how the affordable care act effect their lives. where do we go from here you? republicans in charge of the house. republicans in charge of the senate. republicans in the white house all running on repeal and replace. could argue that they spoke in washington didn't listen.

the'm talking about since election they have seen what the replace might be and they have rejected that overwhelmingly. people see what it means in their lives. it's really important for us to recognize the facts here. but the republicans were putting forth with 23 million people off the rolls. increased the cost, undermined and it really was not a good proposal. tohink there is an incentive mcconnell's bills, one of them, he had a provision that we can all embrace. it was a provision to cover the reductions. extends reinsurance. had a short-term stability and i fully support that and

hope that he would advance that. vice president pence and his wife are on a three-day trip to eastern european countries. today the vice president made an unscheduled stop in the old town square and spoke briefly to reporters. can we talk about about north korea and what you see as possible solutions? >> all options are on the table. the president has made that clear. the continued provocations by the room regime in north korea are unacceptable to and the united states of america is going to continue to marshall to support of nations across the region across the world to further isolate north korea

economically. era of strategic patience is over. president is leading a coalition of nations to bring pressure to until north korea will permanently abandon their and ballistic missile program. >> is china not doing enough? >> we believe china should do more. the president has been clear about that. his conversations with the president that while china has taken unprecedented steps to begin to isolate north korea economically and bring diplomatic pressure we believe china has a unique relationship with the regime in north korea and the unique ability to influence decisions by that regime and we call on china to use that influence along with other nations in the region to encourage north korea.

to join the family of nations. to embrace a nuclear free korean itsnsula and abandon provocative actions and ballistic missile programs. >> you are offering support to countries to stand up to russian aggression. president trump in the u.s. is barely even willing to knowledge that russian meddling in our election. how do you square that differences and why should these nations believe your word when the president seems to be offering a slightly different message that will yet >> i think the president has confirmed repeatedly that we believe russia did metal in u.s. elections. haves also said it could been other actors as well. our intelligence that russia was involved and it's part of what inspired the bipartisan action in the congress to codify the sanctions are administration has been implementing and we will

continue to advance that. my message here today is very simple. policy is america first. it's not america alone. our allies in eastern europe can become didn't get the united states of america stands with them. we are committed to nato. we are committed to our common to and in the president wanted estonia andere to georgia and montenegro to make sure our allies know that we'll stand with them as the united states has six days throughout their history. the prime minister just shared with new helming what is the will of estonia that all during the time of soviet repression the united states of america never recognized the soviet union's claim and we stand with them today as free and independent nations since 1991

and the president wanted me to make it clear to these baltic states and to the wider world looking on america's hands with our allies. originally in nato headquarters not her believe article five. what changed between when he went through the standing there worksnding you a broad? we have made it clear the policy of our administration is to stand firmly with our nato allies and to then firmly behind our article five commitment that an attack on one is an attack on all. it was very moving from the visit with the prime minister of estonia today and have him on the estonian troops that are in iraq and afghanistan have been shoulder to shoulder with us since nato exercised its

authority under article five following september 11 in our country. the president has made it clear from the outside of our administration will continue to make that clear to all of our allies in the region. >> thank you. >> c-span's washington journal live every day with names and policy issues that impact you. coming up monday morning, the democratic think tank thirdly -- .hink tank third way then former texas republican congressman l archer who chaired the house ways and means committee. he discusses tax and health care policy and timely to go to talk about republican tax proposals to sure to watch c-span's washington journal live at 7:00 a.m. eastern monday morning. join thecu
