with the new republican budget which is all based on what? repealing obamacare. this is crazy. ridiculous. it ain't gonna happen. think of what would be taken. what would be necessary to repeal obamacare. house republicans pass it. big deal. it will never get through the senate. president obama would never sign it. then if he did, they would have to roll back two years of progress and programs already in place. again, it ain't gonna happen. obamacare is here to stay. but the very fact that paul ryan and house republicans base their entire budget, their new budget to be unveiled this year, base the entire thing on repealing obamacare, beating that dead horse, just shows you how totally out of touch they are with reality. that's my parting shot for today. eliot spitzer starts us off tomorrow morning so go out and have a great day. join us right back here for another "full court press" tomorrow.

fellow democrats today on a budget plan that are raise a trillion dollars in new tax revenue. president obama is expected to also attend that lunch. tomorrow the budget committee will deliberate. they are expected to vote thursday. the plan then heads to the senate floor for a full vote next week. even though some democrats may balk at the idea of voting for a budget plan that calls for an increase in taxes the legislation should garner the votes it needs to pass. the senate judiciary committee will vote today on several new gun bills one that bans assault weapons, one that limits high capacity magazines, one that expands federal background checks, and one that will allow more money for school safety programs. as these laws head to the full senate for consideration, they face varying expectations of

and it made me think, gosh where the heck was cnn three and a half hears ago when we were actually fighting to save our health care system. it was well done but didn't teach me anything i didn't know. if anyone would have been paying at attention over there, this information would have been widely disseminated. and i guess they did a little research and cnn just bought this documentary. and it says this gives us an explanation of some of the factors that have contributed to our broken system and explain why we need to fix it. really? you are just coming to this? >> stephanie: and it does feel like a bad replay to me. ron johnson, republican of wisconsin, here we go again, where they are just sawing -- really?

but we already know that doesn't work, because those are the medicare advantage plans, the plans run by private insurance companies, and they are always more expensive. so we're basically just trying to suck more money out of the taxpayer dollar again. >> stephanie: yep.

need to pay for health care plan? >> you probably will still need to pay for the supplements that you use, but the good thing is that the drug costs are going to go down, because right now people fall into that doughnut hole where you have to cover the cost of your prescriptions and then your coverage kicks back in again, and that hole is closing. so that hole will close and it is also going to make sure that we mandate what kind of coverage people get for their money and that there's are continuation of all of your benefits, your wellness checkups for free that kind of thing. so i think the wellness plans will still be necessary, but certainly the costs will go down especially in terms of prescription drugs. >> i wish it would go down for the cost of the supplemental plan, because when i started i started out paying 130 something a month.

and which is bearing some good results, and getting better out comes for people. what we ought to be doing is really having, again, a grownup conversation about implementation. there is going to be some bumps in the road. is there but was when medicare was rolled out in 1965. >> stephanie: that's right. >> let's focus on that rather than this ridiculous blast from the past. >> stephanie: exactly. representative talk to us about where we're at with budget or sequestration or all of this stuff. because paul ryan's budget i'm like are you kidding me? it is doubling down on all of this stuff, right? >> yeah, it looks like the senate is moving forward on a spending plan for the rest of the fiscal year which does move the ball forward. it's not my favorite version, but i think it is one that can

pass. so we have at least eliminated the sort of government shutdown this year and -- you know given some flexibility in terms of given some flexibility in terms of sequestration. but obviously we really should just get that also eradicated, and there are very good smart ways to do that, and the budget plan which is obviously next year's budget again, patty murray to her credit is really working hard to get the senate to produce a budget plan. that's a good thing, and i think again when the people what she is doing which protects medicare, versus at the end this just really nasty, harmful, anti-middle class plan that -- that the republicans are rolling out in the house, you know, again if nothing else, public opinion should be i think reengaged to -- to be on
