this bill this bill is an absolute nightmare. it guts federal requirements for essential health benefits like maturnt health care, shatters working americans access to abortion. it creates age-based subsidies and repeals all the a.c.a. taxes and completely destroys the medicaid expansion program with so much help many of our states. in our country, at least 11 million people will lose their health care insurance coverage as a result of this reckless dismantlement of medicaid. in my district alone, over 156,000 individuals are going to lose their coverage with the repeal of the medicaid expansion. over 156,000 people, mr. speaker, will lose their coverage. this bill kicks the elderly, the poor and the sick to the curb. and benefits only the young, healthy and incredibly wealthy. i urge my colleagues to stand with me in opposition. this bill is a serious heart attack to the american people. it is a blatantly partisan action to obamacare. again, the 1% get their way. mr. speaker, we'll be able to go back and think about health care

>> exactly, bill.t is important, the republican leadership is worried about removing the obamacare subsidies and leaving people who were depending on those subsidies without the ability to pay for insurance. so, that was a problem. this is what happens with entitlements. once people become dependent on them, it becomes extremely difficult politically to take them away. what they are doing here is that they are providing a different kind of subsidy in the form of a tax credit. make no mistake about it, though, that is what it is. basically, this is a different kind of subsidy come up to $14,000 to purchase health insurance. there will be come under this plan it seems, a wider variety of plans available, because a lot of the mandated items that were to be included in obamacare approved plans are gone and people can go out and get as much or as little insurance as they think is right for their family, which i think it's a big selling points. but there is a problem. a lot of the conservatives who want obam

or no caret bill. this is just the most recent in a long list of statements by republicans under the merits of the bill to repeal the affordable care act. it's interesting that they named it the american health care act. the only thing that struck was affordable. it should tell you something about the bill. they replace it with a system that requires americans to pay more and get less. the bill has been rushed through the committee without a singleit public hearing, no testimony or expert view and when the committees marked it up they didn't have the score that is washington speak for the agency that i is nonpartisan, bipartisn with a director appointed by the republicans to give the advice of the consequences of the enactment of such legislation. they came back and told us there would be 24 million less and short by 2026. that would total 58 million uninsured americans as a result of the bill just nine years froa now. republicans are rushing it to the floor for two reasons. first, they know that if th

it was a tax bill disguised as a health care bill. the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of our country. $600 billion or more going from working-class families to the richest people in america. by the way, having 24 million people not having health insurance, and at the same time, undermining medicare and jeopardizing pre-existing condition benefit that we had in the bill as they repealed the essential benefits. one of the most interesting speeches to me on the floor was one of our colleagues -- by the way, we have a debate on it, but at least admit you have a bad bill -- any one of my colleagues got up and said, i was not for the bill, but they really made it better last night when they repealed the essential benefits in the bill. i thought, ok. mr. lujan: make no mistake. today is about the american people. the reason this bill went down is because thousands of thousands, if not millions of people have been gathering around america demanding answers as to why americans were doing -- republicans were doing what they were doin

bill? i've seen a lot in my years here but this is truly unbelievable. you guys take my breath away. and that's not even considering the already-dangerous bill we were supposed to be down here considering right now. let me just make it clear what that bill actually is. first, it is a massive tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for by taking health insurance away from 24 million people, period. anyone who takes five minutes to look at any unbiased analysis of the bill knows this is true. massive tax cuts for the well-off at the expense of 24 million people. lete painticreow g thatnu 24iopeople is cathenre atralia. t cntryf is moroe tt le in e fas, now, let me paint a picture of how big that number is. 24 million people is basically the entire population of the country of australia. it is more than that live in the states of kansas, new mexico, nebraska, west virginia, idaho, hawaii, new hampshire, maine, rhode island, montana, delaware, south dakota, north dakota, alaska, vermont

that bill received 416 votes. this shows these bills are commonsense measures that include bipartisan support. the day is finally here. we have an opportunity to fulfill that promise that we have made to the american people. i, for one, cannot sit idly by and let this opportunity go to waste. campaigning is easy, compared to governing. but our constituents did not elect us to do what is easy. the elected us to do what is right. i urge my colleagues to join me in voting yes on the american health care act to rescue the american people from obamacare. thank you mr. speaker, and i reserve the balance of my time. >> the gentleman from kentucky. >> i yield myself such time as they may consider. after seven years of campaigning against the affordable care act, congressional republicans have finally produced what they cynically describe as a replacement plan. sadly, however, this bill will unravel all of the progress we made under the aca, and in expanding access to health insurance to 22 million americans and improving

hats off to whoever wrote those lines for you, bill. >> bill: that was me. >> uh... >> bill: [laughs] a little differently. i thought, after listening to 10 minutes of that, that donald trump was the latest villain in a james bond movie. that was the impression i got. but, look, if you don't want speculation on where your money is coming from, here is an idea. reveal your tax forms. release the tax forms. otherwise, you open the door toe speculation that you are trying to hide something. maybe he is trying to hide the fact that he didn't give a lot of money to charity. that is not against the law. maybe he is trying to hide the fact that he didn't pay a lot of money in taxes in other years, that is not against the law. look, there are people out to get you. >> bill: you know, i talked to the president about that, and we just talked to shannon bream about almost the same thing. he says that he gets smeared if he put out his tax returns because it is so complicated, so many businesses, depreciation, this, all of that. and that he couldn't possibly defend himself. but the big point is, p

, bill. >> bill: i know the spots. catch him friday. factor "tip of the day," earthquake terror follow-up. "the tip" moments away. . . ♪ ♪ like a human fingerprint, no two whale flukes are the same. because your needs are unique, pacific life has been delivering flexible retirement and life insurance solutions for more than 145 years. ask a financial advisor how you can tailor solutions from pacific life to help you reach your financial goals. >> bill: factor "tip of the day," getting the news about a west coast article in a moment. first, the male. -- the mail. i want to clarify, if they are doing something dangerous, than they should expose wrongdoing if they can, but if the president is simply conducting the nation's business, we in the press have an obligation to that whichiosat we are fed. america or any other country cannot conduct business without some privacy. it is embarrassing to the usa to have mr. trump's phone calls leaked for no apparent reason. journalists make editorial decisions all the time, right now

bill o'reilly is up next. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on tonight. >> we are fighting for america. we are saying to those they are patriotic but turn the blind eye to the destruction to cause this country. >> bill: maxine waters once again attacking president trump. what exactly is the beef? talking points. >> it with a very serious effort made by mr. putin to interfere in many ways. in some corners of the world that would be considered an act of war. >> bill: should the u.s. punish russia for interfering in the election? >> jesse: if you and i were working together and i said you look dashing today -- coat >> i think it might be a bit leading. >> bill: is political correctness actively harming america? we have some strong evidence. caution, you are now entering this no spin zone. "the factor" starts right now. i am bill o'reilly, thank you for watching us tonight, a liberal congresswoman attacks president trump. that is the subject of this evening. maxine waters, democrat from california has been an outspoken left-wing voice highlighting the oppression she believes black americans

bill o'reilly.hanks for watching us tonight. the brawl over sanctuary cities. that is the subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. as you may know, the federal government is threatening cities that do not cooperate with homeland security with the loss of federal grant money. now, the city of seattle, suing the feds over that, the first o, many lawsuits, i believe. the basic problem is that cities like chicago, seattle, new york, los angeles, san francisco, do not want to hold illegal aliens they've arrested until i.c.e can pick them up. those cities want to release the aliens on bail orr their own recognizance. "talking points" believes that is dangerous and irresponsible. if there is a federal detainer request on someone who should not be in the country, that request should be honored. it is just common sense. the sanctuary city people say they will obey a warrant for an illegal alien. but that is a much more complicated process. immigration agents have to go to a federal judge, present evi

just remember, this is not our bill, this is their bill.become civilized and get together and try and work out a great healthcare bill for the people of this country, we're open to it. we're totally open to it. i want to thank the republican party, i want to thank paul ryan, he worked very, very hard. i will tell you that. he worked very, very hard. tom price and mike pence, who is right here, our vice president, everybody worked hard. i worked as a team player and would have loved to see it pass. i think i was clear, there wasn't a speech i made, or very few where i didn't mention that perhaps the best thing that can happen is exactly what happened today. we'll end up with a truly great healthcare bill in the future after this mess known as obamacare explodes. i want to thank everybody for being here. it will go very smoothly, i really believe. i think this is something that certainly was an interesting period of time. we all learned a lot. we learned a lot about loyalty, and the vote getting process. we learned about some very arcane rule

nation. >> bill: we were.e had somewhere in the roaring '20s, the start of the down, spending everything, then, the depression hit. then, nobody had anything at all. when i was growing up and this ties into the old school philosophy, i was taught, you are making $1.30 ad carvel, the government is taking a decent set of that, so, you are comingn hour. then, you got to save half of that. >> you've got to save it. save for a rainy day, all of the old cliches are absolutely true. but in the 1960s, something happened come a great deal happen, as you know, the culture of this country. we became the throwaway nation. we became the charger nation, credit cards were everywhere. the cashless society was envisioned. it is here. but it leaves out are people who cannot, once people are offering their jobs and production, outsourcing their jobs and the american dream, there is about one-third of the american people who are getting desperately, horribly short changed. >> bill: you are seeing it as more about generating incom

is it better if they vote for this bill or is it better if they don't vote for this bill. if they vote for this bill, they're going to own everything that happens with health care from now until. >> bill clinton used to say don't make the perfect the enemy the good. there aren't a lot of republicans supporting this bill who say it's good. they're stopping short of that. lynn sweet, businesses getting under way. hastings was apparently shouting behind closed doors during the rules committee meeting. not shouting right now. lynn sweet, i want to go to you. if this does fail today, if this does go down, who does get the blame? is it as easy as saying it's the freedom caucus's fault? they weren't invented today. they've been around for a while. paul ryan and president trump should have known they were there and might have been an obstacle. >> i agree with you. this is part of the art of legislating, part of the art of the deal. the freedom caucus is policy oriented. trump has promised everything to everybody, very similar to how president obama did, that you will have health i

bill. of course it isn't. nothing we do here is perfect. it needs improvement, significant improvement. we have ways to make that happen that i think democrats and republicans can come together on. for example, improving access to prescription drugs by reducing the cost of those drugs in the marketplace. there are so many things we can do, republicans and democrats. we got to roll up our sleeves and get to work. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from wisconsin seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized. >> mr. speaker, it's with a heavy heart that i rise today to recognize the loss of four embers of our greater wausaw community. it was last week that four lives were taken from us all too early. mr. duffy: karen barclay was a warm and caring to everyone. at marathon savings bank she made sure no child left the bank
