first, just to clarify a bit the administration supported the a a hca. so that in this budget needs to be looked at as a unit in terms of dollars in allocation. >> i think that is fair. keep in mind that i think we included because there is t last-minute amendments the -- did not make it in because of timing. >> so that means we are talking not about the 800 billion-dollar medicaid cuts just in the aca oe in the a hca but also the cuts proposed in the budget and my understanding is those are not identical. in fact those are about 1.3 trillion combined. >> the number i heard was 1.4. that was 600 from some other reforms we proposed. however you can add those together because there are components of those that overlap. the total would be less than 1.4, depends on what the final version looks like. >> is it somewhere in that range? 1.2 and 1.4. >> it's between 801.4. if you that off is that 1.1? >> so it is your position that you not cutting medicaid your pet in the rate of growth. the problem is medicaid now pays the cost of a nursing home debt for an elde

it was in the hca the look negative what procedures or benefits are beneficial what happened to that group they have been trying to destroy that since the number one. >> what part?. >> is a little part of the affordable care act pointed like a panel of prospective doctors that say this procedure does not help xyz diseased to do more harm than good. >>guest: so the first point about drug prices this is something that president trump campaigned on with a hot political issue democrats have talked about it a long time ec more republicans like the bad actor companies take the price of a drug can raise it by a lot. says they figueroa they want to do with the affordable care act but there will be a hearing on it in then sometime in the next few weeks or months but that isio something to watch and it is clearly such a concern on the public in either party can ignore that the second question i think you are referring to part of the obamacare that if medicare spending gets too high they would figure out how to create savings. it could be triggered but it could be in the future if it isn't repe

which is why names like hca, tenet, some others in the hospital space, are all going to be negatively impacted in the long term. in the near term, medicare conditio conditions. hospitals c good over the next 18 months. but over the long term, really they really will be negatively impacted. >> and of course we don't know what the senate will do to this particular piece of legislation. it's assume it stays primarily the way it is now. do you think some of the pharma names might benefit? >> yeah, pharma got a massive tax cut as part of the house bill. $30 billion over ten years for the branded pharmaceutical industry. so names like pfizer and gilead and eli lily will benefit on their bottom line each year with hundreds of millions of dollars in tax cuts. it's a positive for them. additionally, not a single provision was inserted to deal with drug pricing. that's a big deal with a lot of americans having concern over rising drug costs. >> what about the medical device makers, the medicinetronics ame like? >> the medical device tax, $24 billion over ten years, is eliminated. at the same ti

and that hca did something important. so what you doing to benefit the community? and in the way of charity care? that was transparency that was never defined. what is that community benefits that we want? those that have sued hospitals to take away that status if they really will not serve communities with the cheaper rates for mold infested housing. maybe they can use those tax dollars. apple gives away a lot of computers but that does not make them a charity. and those that deserve a tax break. it is a long answer and every mayor and city council should be looking at. >> looked at the book with a negative view of the health care is there any thing we should feel good about?. >> there are many good people in the system and those that work very well for patients on medicare. but the people in the group that are 9,000 members talk about our writing up their promised land of medicare so they don't have to deal with the unpredictable things that they deal with in the commercial world. there are some kinds of treatment so yes. so that there is a diffusion but those tr

are not really focused on things like the china deal and legislation that is not getting done, the hcaeraging and some committee, and on the other hand, is not a good thing all. problematic. it takes any perception of little capital that this administration gained after passing health care through the house of representatives, which should have been an easy battle that was a very difficult one out of their control. i spoke with several republican senators all week both on the record and off the record and i can tell you that there is a frustration and a confusion and a sense of what exactly was the timing and the reasoning for the timing. i can be frank, the message coming out of the west wing and the message coming directly from president trump in that interview from nbc news are completely different, completely on two different pages. vonnie: is it ever republican for his or herself? or are there still groups like the freedom caucus? kevin: there was a group in the senate that was put together, mostly men, republican men to craft house policy, that drew widespread criticism. i heard

you put out an article on twincities.com outlining a list of the myths about the a hca.tell us about it. >> hhs put out a report saying under obamacare in 2013 to last year premiums more than doubled, they went up 105%. under the affordable care act we priced everyone as though they were sick. everyone had to buy on government exchanges, the most expensive plan possible. what happened is young healthy people couldn't afford it, they dropped out of the insurance pools and the insurance industry has a death spiral and humanand says we are out of obamacare exchanges next year, no one is there to subsidize anybody else. by allowing the industry to price a policy that fits me best, a young and healthy person best you get more young healthy people back in the insurance pools to subsidize the sick. that is the only way to get this plan to work, the only way insurance can work. laura: you have been in this a while, what did you think of the cbo score overall? >> you have to understand this is the same outfit, they work hard but they said the affordable care act would cover 26 mi

under the a hca the coverage expansion would stay in place until the end of 2019 but no newly eligible people would be added to medicaid rolls after that. the piece is also adding that it would cut medicaid in other ways and change how the federal government would reimburse andes for medicaid expenses introduces the options of the state turning the money into a block grant, a lump sum rather than a per person payment, which would cut the program still further. this is jackie in philadelphia, pennsylvania. she opposes the effort. good morning. caller: i'm very concerned because i have mental health needs and i am confident that my state will cut that as an essential and i will need to go into the high risk pools. my medication is very expensive and i really don't know how i will manage. that is my comment. pedro: john from baltimore, maryland. go ahead. caller: thank you for having me. i work in health care and this has changed my opinion about the gop in total which i was supportive of for years. in this case i don't think the public knows that a private color talked about greed. just

. >> you've worked in the -- scheduling of hca. >> you've worked in the white house and look forwardls up moment, the president is flying away to a foreign country and those of us back at the office can relax, can really take it easy. in fact, there's a thing called the wheels on party when the big guy flies away. if the president does actually go on his foreign trip, which everything is in doubt, he could cancel it. but if he does, does this white house, the people left behind at the white house, do they get to relax. >> as you suggested, i'm questioning whether this trip is really going to happen. one of the stops on the trip is israel, and it's still uncertain, but the -- there is embedded in this terrible story about the leak to russia, a possibility of a really severe monkey wrench. the possibility of a really important betrayal of important intelligence. if that story is correct, i don't know that donald trump is going to want to -- that he hates confrontation, famously so. back here in d.c. this story is going to get hotter and hotter and hotter. it's going to be held together

in fact, you have not seen since since the passage of the hca, any shift in his numbers. the democrats have created for themselves is making everything donald trump does into the latest, biggest outrage the latest thing that is destroying america, when in fact the white house does something that is very damaging to norms or is potentially really genuinely troubling, a lot of voters just to note their warnings, if the boy who cried wolf problem, that's the biggest challenge, the democrats have their base fired up. >> martha: is this new era emerging in the war on drugs. attorney general jeff sessions are forcefully rejected the policies of attorney general eric holder, what it means for drug offenders straight ahead. of the president's sitting down for another interview with our own jeanine pirro and that will air tomorrow night. were going to bring exclusive look at that when our own howard kurtz joins us to analyze straight ahead. >> president trump: you see all of these other phony stories, it's so bad, for me to have great approval records, in light of all the follow-u

was glad to meet this morning with representatives long and upton who voiced their support for the hca earlier this morning. it's especially important that we continue to make progress in repealing and replacing obamacare as rates skyrocket and insurers flee the market in anticipation of this impending implosion. earlier this week, aetna announced it will scale back its presence on obamacare exchanges even further in 2018 withdrawing from the iowa exchange. aetna had already cut its participation from 15 states to 4 in 2017. iowa is going to be hit particularly hard by these recent developments as metic, the last insurance will likely stop selling health care policies in the state which will affect tens and thousands of americans. with reports like these coming every day, it couldn't be clearer that it's time for action on health care. we're glad so many members are with us and look forward to welcoming even more on board. also earlier today, the president dropped by an event focused on school choice with students ranging from kindergarten to high school. most of the students who visit

why were you proud of yourself for putting through the hca bill with and hurt 23 million people.ow many constituents. why would you be proud of that? >> for 6 1/2 years fixes and adjustments made to obamacare. the truth is -- >> so, this has become a little bit of a story line over the last month or so. republicans on recess going back to these town halls and getting that kind of a reaction, michael. 44% of voters say they're less likely to vote if they end up voting for the health care proposal. how concerned are you? how deep generally is the concern right now in your party? >> the concern inside the party is real and it's palpable. you know, my concern is that they're too deaf, blind. you come to the american people with the lie that you're going to repeal or replace for seven or eight years now and you get to that critical moment and you got bub ks. so the american people look at you and say, what are you saying to me? you go to the town hall and that's a deadly mix for a congressman when they're constituents. whether they are supportive or not supportive of the president. wh

health care bill of 2016, i would like to know if the advances put forth will be in jeopardy if the a hca is passed. >> i mentioned a little bit bout this earlier. it is such a uncomfortable moment because i felt like i was just getting good at the end of 2016 in figuring out how to work the partisan lines. as i mentioned i spent all 2015 and 2016 working on a huge rewrite of the mental health laws. i worked with very conservative senators who helped me. we wrote that in 2016 which radically changes a lot of our laws surrounding mental health care. and pushing insurance companies to pay for more until health care that you are in violation of federal health law if you deny care. we think this is going to result in hundreds of millions of dollars of care, yes, the short answer is of course it is in jeopardy because the protection of the health care act only works if you have insurance and 24 million people lose insurance, it is difficult to wrap that with your head because all of the numbers seem big. that is the equally equivalent of 17 u.s. states put together. that is 17 states all losin

. >> the hca it out of the house.former state senator i will say the same thing works at the state level, we happen to be a little more adult. it is incumbent on the democrats to step up whether it is healthcare, infrastructure, tax reform in the united states senate where there are a number of individuals that are democrats from states where trump was victorious. david: democrats and congress opposing trump will have to be dealing with the electorate who on a local level voted away from democrats toward republicans but sticking on the economy, we have terrific economic news on the last week but you never know it because the president has been focusing on what is happening with comey, consumer numbers and jobs numbers, lower risk of recession, big bank came out with new numbers, new graduates as we are listening to a graduation ceremony, 2017 graduates look forward to a higher pay scales and graduates received for the past 15 years, that is great news, and we had a big budget surplus in the federal government on april

the way the a hca deals with this is to put money in high risk. the federal government would subsidize the premiums of people with pre-existing conditions. whether ornnaire is not these hybrid schools are funded generously enough and whether the concept works at all. the democrats will say they don't and the way people get into pre-existing conditions get into the market is to make sure everyone is in the same pool and healthy people end up subsidizing sick people and when these healthy people do get sick, they will also get insurance. stephanie, and pennsylvania on the line for independence. caller: thank you for having me. any health care bill coming out of anywhere should be rejected unless and until the law is itealed that makes impossible to negotiate drug prices. that should be number one right off the bat. number two, republicans have done everything to destroy what could have been very official -- very beneficial to making the affordable care act affordable. was in the aca that what procedures are beneficial and -- what procedures are bene

that leads to my question i want to ask brian, which is, you know, we've heard a lot in the hca but other legislation proposed about giving the states more flexibility, giving them more options to, for example, waive community ratings, to waive essential health benefits. can you talk a little bit how states are looking at that right now and at those choices and what is the likely effect, if you can predict that? thanks. >> i cannot. basically what every state commissioner along with the state governor and legislature is looking at the market and trying to figure out how can i balance. balance is the key. you want to protect consumers and make sure they get the coverage they need when they need it and get to doctors and all of that, but you also have to balance that with making it affordable, and also a marketplace where insurance companies actually want to participate. that's why it is so difficult, especially when a lot of them are kind of national standards, kind of just put down, and that's where the flexibility we think is necessary, is to be able to take those national standards and

i remember when i started to do home care before anybody was talking about the hca.who had to choose with medication six weeks later was dead and that was not to be by the medication i have a daughter and grandson is she has only been able to get part-time work in was so most of high-school therein is only about six or 12 months until she finally got hersey dl and now she is a truck driver during the for one year. and then hopefully i can move to an apartment. [laughter] but most importantly the point that i want to make is that you need to listen to doctors and nurses also you have heard from a couple of nurses to night and they agree it is not good the hca is not perfect but it is better than what you are proposing so i hope and when this comes back from the senate because i am sure that it will to take some time to talk to the doctors and nurses about what is important not worry about keeping up the industry that is profit-making. and it is beyond that profit-making single pair would also solve that problem to make that expense equal with everybody. thank you for

many of the republicans who that for the a hca insist people will not be adversely impacted. with the addition of a last-minute amendment last week, states have the option to return world.e-aca outes would be able to opt of the health benefits requirement meeting consumers with significant health needs could be playing more for less robust coverage. these that receive waivers would be required to establish high risk pools. historically, high risk pools have not proved to be an effective way to cover high-risk individuals. one thing is clear. there doesn't ever seem to be enough money to run these high risk pools in a way that truly are tax people with pre-existing conditions. there was premiums, coverage limitations and enrollment caps to address funding issues. it shifts the cough -- shifts the cost to consumers. movesonally, the ahca subsidies away from premiums that help lower premiums to adding flat tax credits based on age and eliminates that which helps low income americans pay for out-of-pocket costs. it is hard to see how these changes do not result to the pre-aca wor

called prince which is about how information should be shared and through sabia lias, which was the hcadecision that the federal government can't commandeer state and local officials by compelling them to work with federal officers. last month a us district court in san francisco granted a temporary injunction of the sanctuary city and concluded that the executive order likely constitutes unconstitutional commandeering because it coworkers state local local governments to force federal law in violation of several supreme court precedents. i kind of wanted to maybe and by reading, you know, this. the decision from the court. it's short. the government counsel explaining order is an example of the president's use of the pt bully pulpit and even if fred narrowly to have no legal effect serves the purpose of highlighting a president's focus on immigration enforcement. while the president is entitled to highlight priorities an executive order carries the force of law and i think the reason why this judge felt compelled to respond was the actual imminent threat of the executive order, which w

hca -- ahca eliminates health benefits for the people who can least afford it and continues to reduce medicare reimbursement for our overall health system. overall michigan hospitals will , give up $10 billion in medicare reimbursement between 2010 and 2026 under the affordable care act. this is the hospital contribution to coverage expansion. well the ahca eliminates the and of coverage expansion it makes cuts to our existing program, and keeps cutting the hospital reimbursement. michigan hospitals keep paying for coverage that no longer exists. between 2010 and 2026, the 24 hospitals in congressional district one will see cuts of more than $500 million. these funds were intended to expand coverage by extending coverage. hospitals will retain revenue necessary to retain staff. despite the reductions, they will continue to experience reductions in reimbursement, and coverage, andlose accessible health care services will not be available for our communities. since 50% of our operating at its's are for salaries and benefits, it's obvious we cannot afford to find adequate savings russ at

president when he also said he would not go after medicaid and you have two different big hits to medicaid, hca and the budget. but let me ask the next question. would you commit to not raising the social security retirement age in order to pay for these tax cuts. >> yes. >> okay. thank you. you were very -- the administration has been very specific in what, in fact, you want to do on your budget cuts, but much less significant when it comes to tax reform. i mean, you've said you're going to go after children's health care, disability, infrastructure, medicaid, meals on wheels, food stamps, economic aid for appalachia, lake superior, a whole host of things you said you'd cut but you're not at all specific on taxes yet and it's a single page of bullet points and i will, in my last couple of minutes, ask some very specific questions, and i want to ask if certain provisions are under consideration in tax reform. are you considering changing the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit. >> it's not a focus of ours at the moment. >> that's a no. >> correct. >> are you considering changing t

we dialed it a little bit from what was in the hca. rates inl growth medicaid was below what was in the ahca. king: are you saying that even with all these cuts or whatever you want to call them is going to meet the needs of the elderly person in the nursing home? dir. mulvaney: we do believe that the money that we provide would be enough to meet the population of medicaid serves. senator king: so there will be no real reductions. but i'm trying to get at is the assumption in the production sql also the assumptions of the increase in the cost of healthcare because as you know, healthcare hashealth care has -- health care has escalated significantly above the ordinary inflation. dir. mulvaney: before i say i think i've tried to make it clear and a couple of times we talked about it, there is one year there is an exception and the grandfathering of the variousn of medicaid to states and that leads to a very small -- senator king: what you're testifying is about $1.4 trillion is much to do about nothing. is that your testimony? dir. mulva

despite the fact that hca has an even bigger payment of the exact same type.an say is that there are many counties a lot with one. how did that happen. and by the way it all didn't happen in the last three months. first of all there is nowhere right now. there are places with one. that's absolutely true. and it happens in a dynamic market. people come and they go. if this is one insurer they are making it. it is a volatile new market. any new market they are trying to make. that is a free market at work. it was not back yet stable. nothing in the current republican law stabilizes that market. only makes it worse. she talked about the ordeal that her husband went through and what what happened if he was on obama care. see mac in april 2008 he suffered a massive heart attack while on route and the helicopter has potassium levels dropped and he stole into in a coma. he stayed into that for ten days. my husband have been on medicaid or medicare some sort of government run healthcare program the hospital would have pulled the plug after maybe the third day. what yo
