we will begin with professor john mcdonough. can you lay out what the republicans presented after weeks of secret negotiations with other republicans? >> i think the statements from senator schumer articulated it well. what is essentially going on here is the affordable care act was an attempt to improve the nation's health care system and expand coverage and deal with other issues. it was paid for significantly by new taxes on wealthy americans and some very powerful corporate interests. the new bill in the house and reflected in the senate is an attempt to do major tax cuts for wealthy americans and powerful financed byterests, decimating the medicaid program and other essential parts of the nation health care safety net. that is clearly what is going on. the senate initially said we will take the house bill and throw the way and start all over . instead, what they have done is simply make a number of adjustments. if you look up close between the two, you can see many, many disagreements and differences of opinion on details,

we did meet with john mcdonough and senator kennedy when he was still alive during the health care debateround the affordable care act. we just disagree that the tax subsidy of the purchase of private health insurance is going to get us to universal coverage. the affordable care act, best -- best europe, 29 case in europe, 29 million are still uninsured. the underinsured. this guarantees health care as he human right. we are not there and that is why we must keep pressing for. california can literally lead the nation in doing so and we can prove to john and the other skeptics that in fact, if we institute a policy that eliminates the nefarious role that insurance companies provide, we can guarantee health care for all. that is the evolution we need to make from the affordable care act. amy: michael lighty, take for being with us, director for public policy for national nurses united and the california nurses association. when you come back, author naomi klein on "no is not enough." ♪ [music break] amy: "minstrel" by philip cohran & the artistic heritage ensemble. cohran, a legendary trump
