andy slavitt. uest: yes, this is an interesting question and something very important in this ill, the senate bill, that speaks to rachel's question, that i don't think people have bill, aon, it is a long short amount of time. something in the a.c.a. medical requirement, what it is, requires every insurance it's y for the first time been 85% of the money that they et paid by consumers on their healthcare and they can take no more than 15% for the dministrative costs and whatever profit they are going to take. in this t is being proposal, that is being allowed eliminated by any state that wants to eliminate it and be eliminated permanently. what that means, if the bill were to pass, no longer would ou know your premiums are covering medical cost, premiums could go up as high as they wanted to. now, you have a place you have one or two insurers in the arket, insurers can't raise their price, they have to give 85% back and if they don't, they give rebate check to consumers nd consumers have gotten bil

we talk to ezra klein of vox and andy slavitt, the former acting administrator of the centers for medicare and medicaid services. >> so the kroovment bo of the bill would lead to 22 million people less having insurance but it is actually much worse than that in what they said was going to happen. the real key thing that the congressional budget office found was the way this bill would work, it would put poor people into care that was either so expensive in terms of its premiums or so high in terms of its deductibles that the plan, the plans of the bill is built around would have deductibles of 6,000 or more dollars, they said, basically, no poor people, no low-income folks would actually buy plans under this legislation. >> well, these guys get off the air, airplane in their hometown and run into a mob with a kid who they have been pushing this child in a wheelchair because they have disabilities. and that mom gives these senators a piece of their mind, and that happens all the time and part of the reason, part of the reason why i think we are in the situation we are in with people like se

joining us now on the cnbc news line is andy slavitt thank you, sir, for being us with what are yourarly reactions here to the senate's sfwhil. >> the bill looks a lot like the house. it's probably an ugly stepsister to the house bill. it cuts medicaid more dramatically than the house bill does we can expect that tens of millions of people will still lose coverage under this bill. people will lose the protection they have today to pre-existing condition protections and what insurance should cover there is consistent things in here the massive tax cuts are here. the massive cuts to medicaid and medicaid program as we know it is in here so president wants the fwobill have more heart, he needs to have more piggy bank heart without piggy bank means absolutely nothing to people this is devastating to millions of families and kids and as the babyboomers age, the nongoes to people to pay for people in nursing homes will dry up. >> so you mention you need a big check in order to do this. and arguably that's why president trump was elected. some of the country or enough of the country to get

. >> joining us now is andy slavitt, the former acting administrator for the centers for medicare andicaid services where he served through 2017. thanks for being part of our special coverage. what does medicaid do that's most important for the health of regular americans and what would you say being effected under this bill? >> well, medicaid's one of the most essential programs in our country and one of the most essential promises to american families. in the real world, half the babies born in the country are paid for by medicaid. half the people in the program are kids. and then 70% of the funds go to care for people who are either living in nursing homes or who are living with a disability. so it's a vital program. it's a program that doesn't have a lot of slack in it. and the plan that we see before us in the senate would take that program and cut it by 25%, which i think we can only interpret to mean that the services for those individuals are going to be cut by 25% or 25% of those individuals are just going to be simply cut off of medicaid. >> who is going to make that call? >

andy, slavitt, thank you very much for weighing in. i appreciate it so much. >>> with me now to explore what washington may be thinking with this crucial week ahead for the trumpcare fight, dan diamond and franco, white house correspondent. gentlemen, welcome to both of you. dan, i'll reach out to you first. you have these five gop hold yoults at least on the record. there are those that we may not know where they stand yet. will senate leader mitch mcconnell keep trying to force a vote before the july fourth break? >> that's a great question and i think we can see what happened in the house where there's a lot of movement, there's a lot of interest in trying to get as many people on the record before the scheduled vote this week. and if the votes aren't there, he may well pull it, just knowing where the caucus stands ask then returning to it later. i know there's a school of thought that mcconnell just wants to show the body, get the vote over with and if the republicans lose, he's ready to move on. i'm not so sure that's the case. th
