1:31 pm
political trap area what you mean by that? >> what i was saying was that the provision should be in the health insurance bill. we are trying to reform the market and preserve the things that work like keeping people on a plan with their parents healthcare with conditions for healthcare. also, fixing what doesn't work and what doesn't work is the insurance regulatory system with premiums and deductibles. we have to have a balanced approach and a transition. remember, the obamacare lost to three years to put into place. it's difficult to unravel all this and change it overnight and it's impossible health plans now coming up with a premium and the program for 2018. that's right now.
1:32 pm
you have to give them a period of time to transition in the system that will be enacted will be one that encourages employment and we rectify the imbalance of people with healthcare. giving them reasonably sized health credits so they can purchase healthcare for their family. >> you laid out there for congressman and do you feel that enough of what you said is in the current version of trump care? even as it is now? >> i thinkit's a great first step . it has to be done at hhs through the regulation. also legislation for the healthcare system for democratic support it's a
1:33 pm
bipartisan approach all sides can agree and compromise on it and it's one of the big mistakes of president obama the i don't think we want to go down that path again but it's important for us to act soon because we have to get the ball rolling and move so the health plan and properly approach the 2018 in 19 term years for the premium so people have time to adjust to the changes that occur so it's critical. it's critical for small businesses and individuals in the market that have time to prepare and time for the insurance programs to come forth. that's why these tax credits are so critical. it's very important. some of my republicans on the side see the subsidy for
1:34 pm
employers health insurance. 350 billion per year. if they are self-employed or if they don't comply insurance, people are really left out of any kind of subsidy and that's why the advance tax credit that we propose in this approach really does work for many millions of people who haven't gotten the kind of care that they needed. >> the tax refunds will work for them criticizing the plan as it benefits it already. they lease need assistance. >> in actuality we are talking about people get the tax refundable credit if they don't have the employer provided health care or self-employed. they phase out at 75,000 for an individual at hundred 50,000. it's for a family.
1:35 pm
it could be adjustments along the way but i would hate to see republicans fight this battle among themselves and looking for perfection. i don't know that i got a clear answer from you on whether, as it stands now, you would vote for trump care? >> i still have a couple of other questions as to how we provide for the long term losses for people who have a pre-existing condition and making sure that the funds that are set up through this will be sufficient to pay for people who have extraordinary healthcare cost. one thing every american, no matter what the process is that would not want to see them bankrupt by extraordinary
1:36 pm
healthcare costs. it's something that i am still working on and diving into the numbers to make sure it will be sufficient but the plan, the way it set out, heads in the right direction and it's important that we have a plan that is patient centered and is not discouraged for employment. that's what happens with the aga. ifyou get to the input income , you drop off and you lose benefits. that has encouraged full-time work and its discourage people from improving their financial situation because they are scared of losing the healthcar benefits . it's refundable tax credits that's helpful to them . >> this week will release a price tag for trump care. how much is too much? it should cost less and that is one of the things that i want to see. i want to see the analysis but remember, medicaid is on track
1:37 pm
to process over $1 trillion per year with in a few years. in fact, thefederal deficit is on track to go for 19 trillion ã29 trillion . that is why it's vital to get control of the cost and reform medicaid but also make sure the kids and grandchildren are not bankrupt because washington has not been able to control the spending. >> is one of the reasons i got sent to washington. >> i am sorry ãthey are making the hurry up and i want to put this ãhe wanted to make sure you pointed out medicaid was on the road to bankruptcy in the system and you have a lot of people on the other side of the aisle concerned about those who really depend on medicaid. how do you smooth out? >> well, the reforms are suggested, which was phasing and changes in giving states more authority with more flexibility is critical to
1:38 pm
critical to control. when you spend someone else's money, it's no secret that cost seemed to go out the window. we have to get the states more responsibilities to design programs that work for them. >> congressman john, we have to leave it there. we will see you again. >> thank you very much. >> overseas there is optimism in iraq. said to be gaining ground in the fight for them also. more than one third of west most all from the is rep islamic terrorism from isis. the battle to drive isis out of the city, is it completely continuing? connor powell has more on the fight. >> eric ãit took three months for iraqi forces to retake the eastern part of mosul. the effort to reclaim the western half is moving much faster.with the senior iraqi
1:39 pm
commander saying the isis coalition is now in control of one third of western mosul. still, it continues to resist and the fighting is expected to become more difficult as iraqi troops move into muzzles city area. streets are narrow and armored vehicles cannot operate. the heavy fighting is 50,000 civilians playing in the last two weeks alone while the fight against isis and iraq is slower than planned making real progress in the last year with the help of the american led coalition with ground troops and air support. they overran most the country in 2014 and allowed 60 percent of the territory that they once controlled. head back to neighboring syria they set to beget later this
