the rest of the medicaid progr program, for senate republicans it wasn't enough the hospital was going to toss grandparents at a nursing homes or/funding for people with disabilities, or pull the plug on healthcare's on babies weren't in soon. republicans wanted to go bigger. the republican bill claims to protect kids with disabilities by leaving them out of the calculations that decide how big the medicaid cuts will be in each state.ng i don't know if the republicans were expecting a round ofding applause for pitting kids with the breathing tubes against vulnerable seniors or someone needing treatment for addiction, but i know this exemption won't do a thing to help these kids. for the republican cut still/hundreds of billions of dollars from medicaid leaving states with no choice but to cut services that kids with disabilities desperately need. medicaid is the program that provides health insurance to one in five americans. are 230 million kids, to nearly two out of every three people in a nursing home. these cuts are blood money. people will die. let's be clear, senate republicans a

we'll see if any senate republicans have the courage to do that as well. earlier this morning, the whole senate had its first opportunity to look at this bill in the light of day. the debate that unfolded on the floor made it clear that our colleagues are committed to a partisan scheme to jam this bill through at any cost. there isn't going to be a full debate. there isn't going to be any bipartisan input. if you read through the fine print in this destructive proposal, as the american people have had the chance to do over the last several hours, it becomes clear why my colleagues on the other side have kept this bill hidden and want to jam it through as quickly as possible. this proposal is stunning in its sameness to the cruel house bill that the american people have rejected outright. in fact, rejected, according to polls, by a real -- by really eye-popping numbers. so i want to begin by warning against anybody buying into the sales job that's inevitably going to unfold in the days ahead. this bill may change, but senate republicans will only be putting

the senate republican health care bill is a wolf in sheep's clothing. only this wolf's teeth are even sharper than in the house bill. somewhere in america, mr. president, there's a family who takes a trip each friday to visit grandma or grandpa in a nursing home to pay for their health care and now they rely on medicaid to help pay the costs of long-term care in the nursing home. somewhere in america, president ump, there's a father who is eaten up inside watching his son struggle with opioids addiction and knows that his son could go on with a healthy and fulfilling life if he could afford treatment to get him out from the devastating addiction. somewhere in america, there's a parent whose child has cancer. a mother and father who stay up at night worried that their insurance will not be available or run out before their family needs it most. in that america that my republican friends envisioned with this health care bill, those americans might not get the coverage they need. we live in the wealthiest country on earth. we are proud of it as we should b

now i know many senate republicans who said they are not happy with the secret process. republican leaders have been conducting. they want more time to review the plan and they understand what it means for the people they serve. well my message to each of them is saying you're unhappy is not enough, saying you're frustrated is not enough. you have to power to do -- you have the power to do something about this i urge my republican colleagues to join democrats, tell leader mcconnell you want more time and you want an open debate. do the right thing for patients and families like those that have come to the capitol to make their voices heard all of this week. all those people who called and e-mailed and posted on social media who deserve the opportunity to scrutinize this plan. we call on those republicans who just say they're frustrated and this is a bad process do the right thing. tell leader mcconnell to stop. thank you. >> thank you. the leader and senator murray have said it very well, and i'm going to make a couple extra points in my view, the senate republicans are t

senate republicans are proposing to defund planned parenthood, to drastically slash medicaid which helps middle-class families with loved ones in a nursing home and sends those dollars to the richest people in america. senate democrats have been poring over the bill now that it's come out from behind closed doors and here are just a few of the thing this is bill whether do. first, it will cause health care costs for middle-class and working families to go up. by cutting back on tax credits and making americans pay even a bigger percentage of their income for their premiums, they're going to send costs soaring. second, the bill will kick millions off medicaid by making deeper cuts than the house bill. if you're a middle-class family with a loved one in a nursing home the cost of that care will go up. third, it abandons people with pre-existing conditions putting at dire risk maternity care, mental health coverage by allowing states even more latitude to get out of covering essential health benefits. fourth, it defunds planned parenthood making it harder for millions of women to obtain the

. >> the democratic leadership in the senate held a briefing to talk about their objections to the republican health care love replacement bill. it begins with chuck schumer. this is 20 minutes. senator schumer: ok. hi, everybody. sorry we're late. it is not senator murray's fault and it is not senator wyden's fault. make your own deductions. i want to thank them for doing the fabulous job that they are doing. now, when the white house passed their health care bill, a bill that president trump called mean, i thought would it be -- i thought it would not be possible for the senate republicans to conjure up a bill even worst than that one. unfortunately, that is what they have done. meaner. can you read it? do i have to color it in? senator murray: yeah, you do. [laughter] sen. murray: that stands for o.ergency room to senator schumer: how's that? meaner. ok, the senate version of trumpcare is even meaner than the house bill. there is a lot to unpack in this bill, but it's general outline -- its general outline is very simple and very clear. and they are getting up and saying it's a draft. but

, given senate republicans right now do not have the votes needed to pass their health care legislation as is. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell this afternoon announced he is delaying a vote that was supposed to happen this week until after the 4th of july recess that will buy him and his fellow senate republican leaders some time to make changes to the bill, to get a new analysis from the congressional budget office, and then, of course, more importantly, to try to convince enough republicans -- here are a bunch of them who are opposed right now to this bill and convince them the new plan is the way to go. some of the sticking points so far, higher projected premiums according to the congressional budget office analysis. millions more uninsured, some voluntarily because they no longer are required to get insurance. others no longer covered by medicaid. that's the program, of course, that provides care for nearly 17 million americans who have limited resources as well as disabled americans. so it's a big, tall order. let's go right now with cnn's phil mattingly. he's on capitol hi

senate republicans have been invited to the white house to air their concerns about the health care bill. the white house says the president is fully engaged, but gop senator susan collins says the president has been hampered by his lack of political experience and says it's difficult to see how any tinkering is going to satisfy her concerns with the bill. >>> and syria's president bashar al-assad gets a firsthand look at a russian war plane based in his country even as he gets a white house warning that he will pay a very heavy price if the syrian regime goes ahead with what the u.s. says are preparations for another chemical weapons attack. the pentagon reports fresh activity at a syrian air base where a deadly chemical attack was launched back in april. that base was later hit by a u.s. missile strike. i'll talk to senator chris cuhns in the foreign relations and judiciary committees. our correspondent guests are standing by with full coverage of today's top stories. let's begin with a stunning setback with the senate republican leadership and the white house, both which have pushed h

one that keeps you connected to what matters most. >>> when the republican leadership and the u.s. senate unveiled their health care plan last week, president trump said that republicans couldn't afford to lose even one vote if they wanted to get it passed. but at last count here at cnn, there are now bills that could pass as written right now. you're still a no as we speak right now? >> yes, i am still a no. >> about 30% of the population of your home state of west virginia is on medicaid. > >>>. and you don't like this projected growth of medicate. >> i am very disturbed by this growth of med care. 40% of the spending in that area goes for opiod abuse and drug issues, that's a major issue in our state, as it is in many states, and i'm totally unsatisfied with how this bill would keep coverage for those folks both in opiod and other areas of health care. >> look for more money. it's critically important. we have done some research, not only for medicaid, it covers more than 70 million low income americans, four in ten american children, 50% of children born in the united states. 10 milli

they say he could change his plans depending on feedback from senate republican leaders. >> the reason the gop bill is barely hanging on -- an analysis by the congressional budget office showing that the so-called analysis of this bill, showing that 22 million more americans would be uninsured by 2026. at this point, four republican senators already say they're going to vote against this bill, even beginning the debate process to even get into the bill. that's enough to kill it for sure. other senators, ted cruz and mike lee, they say they still have reservations, as well. >> lee is among four senators set to meet with vice president mike pence tonight to talk about health care. our coverage begins with phil mattingly on capitol hill. >> reporter: it's a top-line number that seems tailor-made to spook republicans on the hill. 22 million uninsured americans over a ten-year period, according to the congressional budget office. the score everybody was waiting for. the repercussions were immediate. senator susan collins, moderate member from maine, saying after the score was released that

bill released by the senate leadership just hours ago. republicans can't afford to lose votes of more than two members of their caucus and still get the measure passed in the u.s. senate. majority lead er mitch mcconnel unveiling. several dozen demonstrators gather to protest the bill some with disabilities. some were forcibly removed by capitol police including people in wheel chairs. i will talk with a member of the democratic leadership and specialists are standing by. first let's go to our white house correspondent sarah murray. the president dragged out this mystery about the tapes for a month and a half. tell our viewers the latest. >> we are not getting any real straight answers on why the president kept this going for weeks or why he brought it up in the first place. at least one firm answer coming from the president himself. he does not have tapes of the conversations with comey. after 41 days of dodging the question -- >> when will you tell us? >> over a fairly short period of time. you will be very disappointed. >> today president trump is

you know, we were talking to republican senator after republican senator who were saying they were going to vote no simply on that and on a republicans who were pleading with the majority leader to give them more time. to read this bill, to get a sense from their constituents, and also from the cbo report that came out yesterday of how exactly it would affect their constituents, and so basically, mitch mcconnell decided to heed their concerns, to heed their warnings, and decide that it's better just to sort of take some time, take a breath, and take the risk, and it is a very big political risk to send everybody home, be back with their constituents, probably get hammered on some of the negative things they've heard about this bill and still hope that they can come back and vote yes as opposed to putting it on the senate floor for a procedural vote that he knew was going to fail. look, this is a very, very difficult need tole to thread a the republican leadership has known that. it seems to me and to my colleagues walking around the halls here that the leadership focus is probably more o

had two republican senators voted the other way, it would not have moved forward. after it passed, the president of the united states decided to have a celebration at the white house. we saw him on television gathering the republican members of the house of representatives and celebrating the fact that this measure had passed and finally they were going to repeal the affordable care act. but then the american people took a close look and the congressional budget office issued its analysis, and it turns out that 23 million americans would lose their health insurance because of this republican measure that passed the house of representatives. it turns out as well there would be a dramatic increase in health insurance premiums for people between the ages of 50 and 64. it turned out that in my state and many other states, hospitals were in danger. the only hospital -- the illinois hospital association says they would lose 60,000 jobs in illinois with the dramatic cutbacks in medicaid, endangering hospitals in rural areas and inner city areas. the facts started coming ou

these are just a few of the major areas that the senate republicans are focused on as we move away from obamacare. in doing so, we will also work towards strengthening medicaid and preserving access to care for patients with preexisting conditions, two areas of concern for many across the nation. i regret that democrats announced early on that they did not want to be part of a bipartisan process to move past the failures of this law. the obamacare law is collapsing all around us. it will continue to hurt even more americans if we allow the unsustainable status quo to continue. so we have a responsibility to act and senate republicans are, working to the, guided by the principles i mentioned, an acting on -- and acting on behalf of americans that deserve better than the status quo, better than the continued

. >> president trump says he's very supportive of the health care plan senate republicans rolled out today. it's their alternative to obamacare chand to the plan approved by the house. >> within hours the bill went from being a secret to a lightning rod. >> four senate conservatives quickly announced their opposition including kentucky's rand paul. >> we cannot support the current bill we're open to negotiation we want it to be more like a bill. >> the 142-page bill eliminates obamacare's insurance mandates and its new taxes on the wealthy. but it retains a good chunk of obamacare's tax redits to help lower income americans buy insurance. >> i'm going to go back and read the bill. >> reporter: many senate republicans said that's an improvement on the house version, which president trump recently described as mean. south carolina's lindsay graham: >> it leaves pre-existing illnesses alone, so you'll never be denied coverage because you're sick. that's a pretty good place to start. i have to run it by south carolina and see how it affects us on the medicaid side. >> reporter: the senate

it could help senate republicans. important thing here, senate leadership just like house leadership, at some point needs to put a bill out there in order for people to coalesce around it. you can't really count the votes until there's a bill. once you have a bill you really want to move quicklied as a possible if you're in leadership and trying to get something across the finish line. you really just want to move quickly and get people to come together around this thing fast. host: our two guests joining us for the next hour or so to talk about the not only the senate status as far as healthcare but the future of healthcare system in the united states. if you want to ask them questions about this, here's where breaking it down. if you see insurance through the affordable care act, give us call at 202-748-8000 if if you get insurance from your employer 202-748-8001 if you're uninsured uninsured, 202-748-8002. you can send us thoughts on this topic on twitter if you want. you can do that. louise radnofsky is the white

he spoke to senator mcconnell this morning and he's invited all republican senators to the white house later this afternoon to continue these discussions. the president is optimistic that republicans will live up to the promise that they've been making to the american people for seven years by repealing and replacing obamacare. i know you guys are probably a little bit tired since we've been here a while. so you want to skip on the questions? i figured it was worth a shot. and with that, i'll take your questions. charlie. >> recently, breitbart news challenged the accuracy of the cnn story and afterwards it was retracted, deleted, and the editors responsible were fired as well as the network apologized for the story. the target of the -- one of the targets of the story accepted the apology, the president went on twitter this morning and repeated that cnn was fake news. why isn't their response good enough for the president? >> i don't know that it's that their response isn't good enough for the president. i think it's the constant barrage of fake news directed at this president, probab

the senate republicans' plan to dismantle the affordable care act continues to get pushed back, not just from democrats but from fellow republicans. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell stands by the bill, saying it will repeal most of president obama's signature healthcare law, reduce government-paid healthcare and return power to states. democrats insist the g.o.p. plan will increase premiums and take healthcare away from millions of elderly and low-income americans. complicating matters for mcconnell today are five republican senators -- ted cruz, ron johnson, dean heller, mike lee and rand paul -- four of whom immediately rejected the bill saying it does not go far enough to gut obamacare. >> we can do better than this and my hope is not to defeat the bill but to make the bill better. robert: moderate dean heller of nevada was the latest to speak out against the senate bill. at this point it seems no one seems to love it but as republican senator pat roberts of kansas said, the senate bill was not the best possible bill but the best bill possible. we're looking at a real challenge

neither do the american people, and neither do a whole bunch of republican senators. senator cassidy. would i have preferred a more open process? the answer is yes. senator collins. i don't think it gives enough time to thoroughly analyze the bill, but we'll see when it comes out. there is member after member, rand paul, lindsey graham, jerry moran, marco rubio, bob corker, who repeatedly have said this process, in their words and now in mine, is unfair, is truncated, is rushed. for my dear friend, the majority leader, to say we're going to have an open amendment process is turning truth upside down. i would ask our leader rhetorically, because i know the answer, can we allow at least one hour on each amendment, not two minutes? will we have more time than ten hours to debate the bill? i hope so. but if not, please don't call this an open and fair process. if you want to rush it through, admit the consequences. now, mr. president, the debate over health care has been fierce. we know that the republicans and democrats had differences when we debated the affordable care

what happened in the senate when it came to the republicans? they went into secrecy. 13 chosen senators all sat in a room and wrote the alternative or so we are told. they met in secret and never once had a public hearing. never once disclosed to the american people what was being debated. an opportunity for real bipartisan cooperation to strengthen our existing health care system. not at all. all we have at this moment is press accounts of what has been announced to the republican senate caucus, but it is enough to see that when it comes down to the basics, there is not much of a change between the house of representatives mr. president, you can put a lace color on a pitbull and it is still a mean dog. but we need to dust off the edges of the house bill and say it is mean. i will tell you at the end of the day, from reports we have, this is still a mean dog, one from the people of the united states do not want to see happen. there is not a single medical advocacy group, not one in my state or any nationwide, that have endorsed with the republic

senate republicans unveiled their bill to replace obama care. in its current form it doesn't appear they have the votes needed to pass. for republican senator said publicly yesterday they cannot support the legislation the way it is now. because of the balance of power in the senate, republicans can only afford to lose two votes. the senate version repeals the mandate for people to buy insurance. it also repeals the tax increases on the wealthy imposed by the affordable care act. >> these cuts are bloodmoney. people will die. let's be very clear. senate republicans are paying for tax cuts for the wealthy with american lives. >> obama care is not working. buy nearly any manager it has failed and no amount of 11th hour reality denying her buckpassing by democrats will change the fact that more americans will get hurt unless we do something. >> next week the congressional budget office will release its study of the bill. this -- that time we would be able to find out how the people would lose coverage under the plan and the impact it would have on p

then senator rand paul on his opposition to the bill followed by house speaker paul ryan. republican leaders in the senate announced their health care bill to the affordable health care act. they opposed to repeal obama's individual mandate and eliminates most of the current laws taxes. here is some of the senate debate on the bill. seven years ago democrats imposed obamacare on our country. they said it would lower costs. it didn't. in 20 -- from 2013 to 2017 premiums have on average doubled in a vast majority of states on the federal exchange. next year obamacare premiums will go up across the country once again, potentially by as much as 43% in iowa, 59% in maryland, and even a staggering 80% in new mexico. does it sound like obamacare is working? they said it wouldn't increase choice -- they said it would increase choice. they said it would increase choice, but, of kowrgs, it didn't. this year 70% of american counties have had little or no choice of insurers under obamacare. next year at least 44 counties are projected to have no choice at all, meaning, yet again, americans could

senator rand paul says he and three other republican senators oppose the bill as written. putting pass ng jeopardy. in markets, the health care bill in washington is sending hospital and pharmaceutical shares higher. we break down the impact. top companies in the industry coming up. and corporate news, controversy in the skies, american airlines announcing that qatar airways is interested in a 10% stake but telling employees he sees the outreach puzzling. all right. we have breaking news, banco amerco's decision on interest rates just out and as expected the central bank raising interest rates to 7%. that's at that 25 basis point increase. there was one member of the policy making committee who voted to leave the rate unchanged. so not a unanimous decision but nevertheless mexico lifting its interest rate, benchmark interest rate for a seventh straight time to kesh some of that rising inflation. and also to anchor inflation expectationings. we do know that additional rate increases had been expected from economists as well. julia: and in a ties to what we're seeing in the

the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has been meeting with individual republican senators in anall-out effort to try to come up with a bill that could attract enough votes to move forward. let's bring in our political specialist. why is it so difficult, gloria, for the republicans to get 50 votes? that's what they need to pass this legislation. >> where to start. first of all, to go back in history for recent history, they've never had to write a bill, wolf. they've only been against obamacare. they've been talking about repeal and replace for years, but they never had to write one. secondly, they've done a bill now that the popularity is somewhere between 13 and 17% in the country. they have a huge idealogical chasm among republicans about how involved government should be in health care. so it's very difficult to bridge that divide when you're dealing with an unpopular bill, and oh, by the way, they also don't have a clear and concise message about how their version of health care reform would help average americans. other than that, it's easy. >> chris, a lot of us remember t

thanks for joining >> you probably heard by now, a major setback for the senate republican healthcaren today >> senate leaders decided to delay a vote on the billion afterward word that the revised plan was in some serious jep disivment this after a long night on capital hill. as you can see from the run down on the side of the screen this is the hot osmose story tonight at 6:30 . the plan was already in jeopardy with five members of the gop who said he could not support it it it stands. 22 million americans would lose coverage. that also helped push it over the edge. democrats are arguing in order to get this billion moving forward republicans need to work with lawmakers on both sides of

the talks were so secret republican senators didn't get to see it until today. t now that it's out yet another bruising political fight with looming. but more importantly, some republicans are also vowing to vote no. o fox5's tom fitzgerald is lie on the hill tonight. fitz the president criticized the house version of repeal and replace so a lot is riding on this senate version. >> reporter: yeah, tony, president trump said he wanted something that was not as mean. he said he wanted something with heart. the senate republicans thought they had come up with that after all of this negotiation but already today on day one, this bill is in a lot of trouble. four republican senators now saying they will not vote for this. that group led by senator rand paul. this comes at a time when the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell took to the floor first thing this morning and warned if obamacare is not replaced, insurance companies pulling out of states, the result mcconnell says will be dramatically. >> obamacare isn't working by nearly any measure. it has failed and n

republicans. like their own party's health care plan. that's the house plan, but the senateuch different. i mean, the policy choices are complicated. you mentioned earlier in the program losing control of the messaging there. how is it, if you know, if you're a republican, as speaker ryan so well put, this is our signature issue, the promise we made well before donald trump came on the scene, but now you control the presidency, control both chambers of congress. how did they mess this up so much, in both, the policy part is complicated. i don't mean to laugh about that, because these are legitimate philosophical, ideological funding role of government differences, but they promised this to voters? >> promised this to voters and as it happens sometimes in campaigns people promise things that are not so easy. talked about this earlier in the hour, but you're talking about taking away health care from people. you can't pretend that is something other than what it is. you can argue that's a good thing in temples terms of gues of -- getting rid of mandate and changing the way med

senator wallace's nightmare richard it's always a pleasure and honor to have you on our program thanks so much for dropping by. thanks tom appreciate it thank you coming up as more and more republicans come out against the senate's. senate republican so-called health care bill isn't even going to pass as brand pro and sam saxon's politics with. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that the average viewer. r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that means free media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long the conference or how to say it that's the beauty of our tea america. oh we hear both sarge we hear from both sides and we question more that drunk not letting anything get a new way to bring it home to the american people. all the world the states and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are anti america play marty america offers more artsy america first lead in many ways a new

he spoke to senator mitch mcconnell, and all the republican senators to the white house to discuss. esident is optimistic that republicans will live up to the promise that they've been making to the american people for seven years by repeal and replace obamacare. i know you guys are probably a bit tired, because you have been here a while. do i skip on the questions? [laughter] i figured, it was worth a shot. with that, i'll take your questions. charlie? >> breitbart news challenge the accuracy of a cnn story. and it had been retracted and deleted, and the reporters were fired. the target of the story accepted the policy. the president when on twitter and said cnn is fake news. was their response could good h for the present? >> i don't think it was good enough for the present. i think the question is that constant barrage of the fake news at the president. it has garnered a lot of frustration. you pointed out report. there are multiple other instances, where that outlet and reference has been repeatedly logged and had to point that out or be corrected. there is a video circulating o

senate is poised to do. and i think there's some evidence we're having some traction here, stephanie. i want to quibble a little bit with the way we're talking about some of these republicanat appear to be on the fenls. lisa murkowski, rob portman, shelly moore capito, these are not moderates. they're conservatives, but what they're indicating at least right now is some concern about what impact the bill is going to have on their constituents. lisa murkowski understands that in alaska there are thousands and thousands of people who depend on the affordable care act for their health care. shelly moore capito understands there are hundreds of thousands of people in west virginia who benefit from medicaid expansion so they can get treatment for opioid addiction. so they are in a position where they're susceptible to changing their votes because they actually care what impact the bill will have on their constituents. all these other republican members of the united states senate right now are demonstrating a commitment to ideology and giving tax cuts to the wealthy over the interests of their constituents. >> all right. we'll take a break. it's extraordinary. i spoke to a mem

senate republican leaders are insisting on a vote this week. the white house says president trump has made several calls to senators to hear their concerns about the bill. we're standing by to hear from president trump shortly as he meets with the indian prime minister. he's already pro claimed a clear victory for national security after the u.s. supreme court today ruled that parts of hi tral can may go into effect. it goes into effect on six muslim states. you will hear arguments of the case cutting up in the fall. he says the real story is president obama did nothing about it. president trump continues to deny that he or his employees failed to withstand anything. in our accordance, specialists and guests also standing by with full coverage of "today's special value." let's begin with breaking news. the health care bill would lead 22 million americans without health insurance and just vote. is the senior correspondent phil matlying. 23. that's an important nn for a couple of reasons. no doubt about it. it's something dean heller of arizona an

senate republicans are paying for tax cuts for the wealthy with american lives. would happen here if the republican bill becomes law next week. picture a woman in her 80s, she lives at home, is shecky on her feet. she needs help preparing her meals or taking her bath, but her only income is her social security check. right now medicaid helps pay for home and community based services so she can stay in her home. someone who comes by to help for a few hours a week, and because of that help, she gets to stay home, to live independently. but the republicans are determined to -- >> we have been listening to massachusetts senator elizabeth warren talking specifically about the medicare cuts in this bill. the bill becoming public roughly two hours ago. response since then has been fast. it has been furious. we saw the protests outside senator mitch mcconnell's office. a number of folks arrested, some literally carried away. again, senator warren on the floor with an impassioned speech. anne guerin from "the washington post," jonathan swan, action yous political reporter,

area. >> senator ron wyden, thanks very much for being on "new day." >>> up next, what are senate republicansoing to do with this health plan bill? once they find out what's in it, how are they going to get together within their own party? we're hearing something unusual. gop senators, other lawmakers are saying they don't like what's going on. how do they get together next? your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, you won't have to worry about replacing your car because you'll get the full value back including depreciation. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10 to 25 year olds. even if meningitis

one of the senators welcoming the delay is moderate republican susan collins. he told cnn's dana bash today the bill would have to be, quote, fundamentally changed, not just, in her words, tinkering around the edges for her to support it. senator collins is concerned about the cut of federal funding to planned parenthood for one year that's included in the bill. >> it makes absolutely no sense to eliminate federal funding for planned parenthood. there already are longstanding restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortions, so that's not what this debate is about. and planned parenthood is an important provider of health care services including family planning and cancer screenings for millions of american, particularly women. >> i recently spoke with two women who sharply disagree on the issue. cnn political commentator, former communications drebl s d for senator ted cruz, amanda carpenter. former democratic governor of michigan, swrjennifer granholm. you heard senator collins about the defunding of planned parenthood makes no sense. do you agree with h

after senator mcconnell announced the delay prt hosted senate republicans for a frank discussion at the despite the holdup, don't assume the senate bill is dead. after all, the house, it managed to pull back from the brink to rally and wind up passing their health care bill in may. >> so what will it take to rescue the senate bill? let's ask cnn political analyst at princeton, university. >> thanks for having me. >> what went wrong here? the first time they all met together was yesterday to air their grievances. >> if you had a closed door meeting and came out with something attractive to the party it would have passed. so it's the impact of the bill that scared moderates like susan collins and she can't see a way around the

their one-word spin on the senate republican health care plan. f not meaner than the house republican health care plan. we'll hear from key democrats in a moment. back here in the room, the immediate question is can mitch mcconnell get 50 republicans. he has 52. can he keep 50 so mike pence next week presumably can break the tie? let's look at key republicans to watch. on the conservative side, mike lee, rand paul, ted cruz, the tea party caucus if you will in the senate. they have said they won't vote for anything that is not complete and total repeal of obamacare. the senate draft is not full and complete repeal of obamacare. will they blink, will they get concessions? on the flip side, murkowski, collins, kaptur, they have issues on some side. rob portman has been leading the issue for drug treatment in his state. west virginia, one of the big states to help poor people. and a relative newcomer says, "at first glance i have serious concerns about the bill's impact on the nevadans who depend on medicaid." this is one of the big pieces. obamacare

i'm proud to be here this evening with a number of my democratic colleagues to call on senate republicans to stop hiding their bill from women and bring it out in the light for the scrutiny it deserves, because my republican colleagues are right, i think, to be ashamed of this persian of trumpcare, but that doesn't mean it should be hidden from view, and we are not going to stop until women across the country get to read the fine print instead of taking 13 male republican senators' word for it. mr. president, while this is a truly difficult and frightening time for anyone who believes that women should be able to make their own decisions about their own health care and who think politicians should not be able to interfere with those decisions. i have also been truly inspired by the response i have seen to the extreme agenda president trump and republicans are pursuing. since the first days of this administration when i was so proud to march with millions of women across this country and the world to stand up for women's health and women's rights, women have continued to lead the fight aga

big rectangle or scare with republican senators sitting around it. i point that out. ed everyone of the 52 republican senators, most of them are here at white house. basically trying to figure out what happens next. there was supposed to be a vote, according to senate leadership, republican senate leadership at some point this week. however very clearly been pulled. they are now going to take off to the july 4th recess. they will try to take issue you up at some point here when they return in july. you heard president trump he say a little while ago in the meeting with remarks to top it off, saying quote, we're getting very close. however reality of the situation is, three more senators. republicans announced within the last hour, they are against this kill. jerry moran of kansas, rob portman of ohio, shelley more capito of west virginia, that brings number of republican senators express problems with the bill or process, to now nine of the 52. sarah huckabee sanders still said that the president and white house feel optimistic where things stand. >> we're continuing t

to be a senate, and that is to empower two of the best republican senators that we've seen in generations -- lamar alexander and orrin hatch. two people who nobody doubts their conservative credentials, but they're the chairmen of two of the biggest committees in the united states senate, the health, education, labor, and pensions committee and the finance committee, and they have done bipartisan work. orrin hatch for decades, lamb march alexander for decades, both of them relatively recently on tax extenders, on repealing no child left behind. these are not easy issues but these two chairman, because they understand the committee hearing process, baw -- because they earned those gavels, because they earned those gavels. i can only imagine the frustration. i'm a progressive and i support the affordable care act. but if i were sitting there as a republican member of the help committee or the finance committee, and these bills were going through and taking the country in a direction that i objected to, and if i were the ranking member or maybe a couple off fro

laughter ) the stories of republicans being shady and writing the bill in secret, these are up a fake news. for the truth, we need to go to the ancient tree who leads them, senateajority leader mitch mcconnell. >> unfortunately, it will have to be a republicans-only exercise but we're working hard to get there. we'll let you see the bill when we finally release it. we know a lot about the subject. we know how complicated it is. nobodyas hiding the ball here. our goal here is to move forward quickly is that. >quickly. >> trevor: your goal is to move forward quickly? shouldn't it to make a good healthcare system, doing it right not fast? you would think, of all people, mitch mcconnell would know about the tortoise and the hare. his cousin won that race. ( laughter ) but he is hiding the ball. no mistaken that. here's why mitch mcconnell's ball hiding is such a big deal. the senate healthcare bill has the potential to drastically change the lives of millions of americans and, like obamacare was, the process should be open so people can voice their needs and concerns. right now even other senators can't help shape the bill because not even they know what it is. >>

for months now the entire senate republican conference has been active and engagerred on legislation -- engaged to move to bring relief to american people. we've had numerous, productive discussions on the way forward. we believe we can and must do better than obamacare's status quo. working to the and listening to our constituents, we're focused on the following -- stabilizing insurance markets which are collapsing under obamacare, freeing americans from obamacare's mandates which forced them to buy insurance they don't want, improving the affordability of health insurance, which is spiking under obamacare, strengthening medicaid for those who need it most, and preserving access to care for patients with preexisting conditions. senate republicans will continue working because it's clear that we cannot allow america's health care to continue on its current downward trajectory, taking so many families right along with it. the obamacare status quo is simply unsustainable. the american people deserve relief and we'll keep working to provide it.

senate. three. that's the number of republican senators needed to stop this. surely there are three republican senators who are concerned enough about this secret behind closed doors process that we're witnessing when it comes to rewriting health care in america. at least three republican senators who want to take time to properly review this legislation that affects one-sixth of our economy. just the senators who have publicly stated their personal concerns about this process, if the three of them would come together, we could stop this and do it the right way. i said to a republican senator last week after the tragedy where a republican congressman was shot at a baseball practice, i said to him privately, isn't this the moment when we ought to get together quietly, democrats and republicans, when we ought to sit down and write a bill we can both be proud of? i'm hoping he was listening. and i'm hoping three republican senators, if they stand up for it, will help us achieve that goal. surely there are three republican senators who are worried about the kids in

he's a top republican leader as well. senatorthanks for joining us. >> thanks wolf. >> we have a lot to discuss, including the republican health care bill released today. very quickly, as you know, president trump gave us the answer we've been waiting for now by tweeting, i'll read the tweet to you one more time with all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking, and illegal leaking of information, i have no idea whether there are tapes or recordings of my conversations with james comey, but i did not make and do not have any such recordings. why did the president -- i mean, he's the one who first raised that issue of tapes, 41 days ago, he allowed that to linger for 41 days, why did he do that? >> i think you'll have to ask him. i don't know. i had assumed that ever since richard nixon's famous eraser of rosemary wood's recordings in the white house, i assume that all presidents had recordings in the oval office, but i honestly don't know the answer. >> rand paul just told me he's not ruling out the
