i brought this group together along with other representatives and senators and kentucky -- in the kentucky general assembly in both parties. to try to make this a reality, to try to be bold. and we talked about this as way to create jobs in the state. i didn't make it a republican versus democrat issue like what we see in washington every day. and what we've been seeing in frankfort. i want to accomplish this. legislators and congressman file bills knowing they're going to fail just of the complaint the other party and think of grandstand to the press that well, we could of done this by the other party stood in the way, or whatever. i want to get things done. that's what we did with this bill. we passed it in the general assembly. when i filed it a democrat speaker was adamantly against it. the republican president of the senate was adamantly against it. the governor, democrat governor, was against it. when you have that scenario, 100% of the time the bill would fail. but we have public support. there was grassroots effort. liberals liked it because it is a sustainable crop. conservatives

kentucky. then in 2011 i filed for commissioner of agriculture which is an elected statewide position. i won that year, the top vote-getter in the state, the only republican to win that year. and served four years as commissioner of agriculture. then congressman whitfield announced he was retiring so i filed for congress because of the like i could make a difference, and i won the primary and the general and here we are today. >> host: you been serving already. you were sweating earlier? >> guest: i was. and i was very lucky to get to start immediately. congress and whitfield resigned so i was actually on the ballot twice in november once for the regular two-year term which began this week and then once developed the remainder of his term. that was a big deal for seniority because i started mealy after election, i was dead last in seniority and then on january 3 i moved up 51 slot in seniority. that was a big deal. >> host: here we are in your office. couples that what you have on the wall. >>

kentucky called theirs "kynect." residents could sign up for private insurance, often with government subsidies. yet for every kentucky resident who obtained private insurance this way, another four residents obtained coverage through medicaid expansion. the expansion raised the income eligibility to 138% of the federal poverty line-- that's about $16,000 a year for an individual and $33,000 for a family of four. here in kentucky, the rollout of the affordable care act in 2013 was considered such a success, it became a model for other states. in the first few months, more than 300,000 people qualified for medicaid coverage under the new law, and kentucky saw a dramatic decrease in the percentage of uninsured residents-- one of the biggest drops of its kind in the country. in 2013, nearly 19% of kentucky's non-elderly population had no health insurance. by 2015, the uninsured rate had fallen to less than 7%. that's better the national rate of the uninsured, which has dropped to 10.5%. former kentucky governor steve be

kentucky itself. four plans left the obamacare exchange at the end of 2016 in the state of kentucky. of the remaining plans, each increased their premiums by double digits, 22.9%, 29.3%, and 33.7% respectively for 2017. and kentucky's exchange enrollment decreased by 12%. how, mr. chairman, is this helping people? look, if we didn't care about people, we could stand by and watch this failed plan, this insidious law, continue to implode. continue to hurt people. instead, we stand here ready to erase the foundation that this law was based on and put forth a better one. one that doesn't leave anyone behind, one that is based on market driven consumer driven, patient driven needs and expectations, and allows them to, for example, keep their job. what do i mean by that, mr. speaker? mr. chairman. consider this, not only do we have bad health care outcomes as a result of this insidious law, people are losing work. they are being robbed of their dignity to work. since obamacare, 21% of businesses are reducin

it is but a long time in coming in kentucky. kentucky is historically a conservative critic state.ere significantly more democrats register than republicans. over the last 20 years, there hasbeen -- republican party gained strength both in the legislature and in terms of our delegation in washington, d.c. so what happened in november was a long time coming, but it also was an earthquake. 70 members of the house of representatives, income and, lost their seats. we had been -- kentucky had been the only state legislature in the south with the divided chamber. the house was controlled by the democrats. the senate controlled by republicans. they came to an end and the republicans now have a super majority in both the house, senate, and in 2015, kentuckians elected matt bevin, two-parter republican as governor. so with that power, they are now exercising the power -- amy: you're headed to north carolina before going back to kentucky. i could not help but think of parallels. when you talk about is emergency session that was called. is that how it usually happens in kentucky? >> well, no.

consider this mom in kentucky. she's facinged higher cost -- facing the higher cost of health insurance and she literally doesn't know what to do. here's what she said. my family is being pushed out of the middle class by the obamacare law. how can we pay almost $1200 a month on health insurance? listen to this veteran and father from louisville after his plan was discontinued. he tried to buy insurance through obamacare. only to find that his children's pediatrician wouldn't accept it. this dad worries that unless something is done, he'll be one of thousands of kentuckians who will find they do not have insurance options. i've heard from many constituents expressing similar frustration, disappointment, and anger about the outcomes of obamacare. they expected the law to deliver on its promises but instead they paid more and received less. this year the cost of insurance premiums in kentucky spiked up to 47%. these price increases are a direct result of instability injected into the market by obamacare and families

the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. yarmuth: thank you, mr. chairman. i remind my colleague his vote today to repeal the affordable care act will result in 234,000 people from his state of arkansas losing their health care coverage. 28,000 workers losing their jobs. and an economic loss of $15.8 billion in gross state product over five years for the state of arkansas. mr. chairman, i now yield one minute to the gentlelady from illinois, a member of the energy and demers committee, ms. schakowsky. the chair: the gentlewoman illinois is recognized. . ms. schakowsky: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i wapt to say right now and -- want to say right now and i believe, and it will be true, you'll see, republicans will regret the repeal of obamacare. hospitals in rural and underserved areas are panicking right now. because they are finally getting paid through obamacare to serve low-income people. jobs will be lost. those hospitals could close. 30 million people will lose their benefits. but i want to tell you, on the energ

they leave kentucky. this area off the map a little bit. why did they leave kentucky? there is a story right there. we were talking about that before dinner. why does thomas lincoln moved his family from where lincoln was born, why do they go to indiana? hard to say, but there are a couple of explanations. abraham lincoln himself in one of his autobiographies says, we left kentucky partly on account of slavery but also because of defective land titles. and over the years, people have done various things with that. people want to look backward and say, here is the great emancipator, his dad was in abolitionist and he got that influence. there is really no evidence of that. we have no idea what his father thought about slavery. we lincoln himself saying it had to do something with slavery but we should not read too much into that. because the other half of the equation is just as valid. kentucky did a terrible job of keeping track of land titles. the ohio river is the breakpoint between the northwest ordinance that organizes indiana territory and the southeast ordinance,

what is true in kentucky is true in some other states. you had a governor who ran explicitly on the idea of rolling back obamacare, even though it was working and so the ate marketplace, the state exchange dismantled which means we shifted everything onto the federal exchange. most people got shifted but indicated a lack of interest and effort on his part in making the thing work. he promised to roll back medicaid but started realizing as wasn't as good politics it was when he was running, so he hasn't done that. but what is also true -- and this is my main criticism of as it was when obamacare, the affordable care act, is that the subsidies aren't as high as they probably should be for a lot of working people. if you don't qualify if you don't qualify for medicaid, where you don't have to pay for the most part for your coverage and instead you're buying insurance on the marketplace, so you're a working person but you don't have a lot of money, particularly if you e older, where you use the health care system more, and you need a better b

hey called it kentucky connect, right? and so there were a whole lot of people who said we don't like obama care but i like this program. we'll sign you up. you signed people up. you didn't tell them it was obama care all the time. and it actually worked, right? true in kentucky is true in some other states. you had a governor who ran on the idea of rolling back obama care. even though it was work. and so the state market place, the state exchange, he dismantled which means we had to shift everything on to the federal exchange. most people got shifted. it indicated a lack of interest and effort on his part in making the thing work. he promised to roll back medicaid but started realizing that wasn't as good politics as he thought when he was running so he hasn't done that. but what is also true is, and this is my main criticism of obama care, of the affordable the subsidies at aren't as high as they probably should be for a lot of working people. if you don't qualify for medicaid where you don't have to pay for the most par

is that something you're concerned about between cincinnati and a note of kentucky -- [inaudible] when you hear the plan that senator schumer talks about an when the president talks about, is a something you think you can get on board with or are you studying the -- >> i don't think we should borrow almost $1 trillion and plus-up a bunch of federal accounts and incur a lot of additional debt and don't build any projects to speak up. so i can tell you what i am against is a replication of the obama stimulus package in 2009. with regard to what we could before, my understanding is the administration has a team who are putting together a proposal that we can all take a look at. that includes people both inside the administration and if it the secretary of transportation, and they are going to come up with a proposal. we will take a look at it. i hope it will be something incredibly paid for. we have a $21 trillion debt, but i think we would all like to tackle infrastructure in a credible way, and hopefully that's what they will recommend. spin.

republican kentucky governor matt bevin joining us, thank you for taking the time, governor. i guess there's confusion -- >> you're welcome, neil, happy new year. >> neil: confusion, where you have the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, advocating steady as she goes. ranld paul say ig don't like the way we're going about it as republicans. do you have any thoughts on this healthcare matter? >> i think in general, the majority of americans are with senator paul in theory. that is if you're going to replace something, do it at the time that you repeal that which you're going to be replacing. to do this simultaneously, i think, makes great sense. i think some of the receipt sense, hesitancy, maybe speaker ryan, maybe president-elect trump is driven by the sense that there may not be the will among the elected officials in congress to move this quickly. it's unfortunate, but i think that may be the reality. whether people like interest or not reality has to come in to play. so to that end, i think there are people wanting to not overpromise and then end up underdelivering. people

this was warm by slaves in kentucky. he fled from kentucky all the way to gettysburg.when he arrived in gettysburg, he worked one of the ancestors of j howard work. when you see a black man wearing one of these running into your town, it was for the suspect so he was put in the local jail. at that time, gettysburg justice of the peace was very much an abolitionist at heart so he posted in the gettysburg paper award saying even with the neck of the master saying the master from kentucky has desired to come and retrieve set slave for he will be free in four weeks. no slaveholder in kentucky was going to read a gettysburg newspaper so that was effectively a way of using the law to set a slave free. conversely in another town like york where the jailer was supposed to be free, if you are a free black man he could pick you up off the street and nobody claimed you in four weeks he would sell you at auction. so really there was no way for a runaway slave but really as a runaway slave you had to rush to gettysburg or the misfortune of going to york. the second artifact here pe

let's look at kentucky. not my own state, but kentucky, a state which has been at this for a little bit longer. the previous governor, governor bashear, implemented the obamacare medicaid expansion, just kind of traditional medicaid and expanded. my colleague from washington state was kind of extolling how much obamacare has lowered costs. well, when kentucky originally implemented it, they expected the long-term costs of the medicaid expansion to be only a 4% increase in their current state spending on medicaid. after only one year of the expansion, updated projections show that the expansion cost the federal government more than half a billion dollars more than governor bashear had projected for 2014, and this will double in the coming years, meaning that the medicaid expansion will cost a billion dollars more per year than expected. again, this was the projected cost. this is actual cost. now, if this is saving money, oh, my gosh, let's not -- what would happen if we actually lost money? by anybody's calc

this was worn by a slave from kentucky named charles. he fled from kentucky in 1806 all the way to gettysburg pennsylvania and when he arrived the justice of the peace at the time was one of the ancestors. a black man wearing one of these in your town it was pretty suspect. he was put in the local jail. at that time the justice of the piece was peace was very much abolitionist. he posted it a reward. the master from kentucky has a desired to decided to come and retreat. course note slave owner was going to read a gettysburg newspaper. that was a way of using the law to set it to free. if you are a free lack meant he could pick you up off the street. the in the luck of going to gettysburg they pertain to smith. she was a tri- trite racial woman. her mother was part indian. in part white. in those attributes go to woody hamilton smith. hired by thaddeus stevens. her role personally and professionally as his household serving. managing his business affairs. in helping him write that. she was in washington dc at the time of the 13th amendmen

would that work for the people in the state of kentucky?currently, we only are offered, in our area, hmos. and that's why they're not usable because some area hospitals don't even accept some of the insurance that's being offered. and one of them is very, very low and very affordable, but the area hospital doesn't even accept it. that's an issue there. it's an hmo. en in the other one is a well known one but it's an hmo and it's a pathway, so some area offices aren't taking that. so people would have to leave from their doctors now, obtain another doctor, and that creates another expense of, you've got to go back for testing and see what's going on. >> so just bottom line, when all is said and done, what is your biggest fear as congress prepares to repeal obamacare. >> that they discontinue it altogether. that's my biggest fear because everyone deserves some sort of health care because we have to have -- like i always say, like a car. you have to keep yourself maintained. you can't drive a car unless you keep it maintained. >> especially wi

i have enrolled in the kentucky health care. even the first time. also we have been going over the years and i have talked to people but recently we found out there were weird choices in our increase in the premiums and deductibles and our facilities aren't even taking some of them. and many kentuckians are now looking at the affordable care has unaffordable and unusable, and i have the opportunity to ask you a few questions that you have probably went over. but how do you think this happened? how can we fix it? do we start all over again? what do you think we should do? president obama: well first of , all, i want to thank you for being out there enrolling people. >> thank you. president obama: that has been hugely important. [applause] president obama: the second point i would make is that kentucky is a place where this has really worked, and it has worked for two reasons. one is that kentucky expanded medicaid, and we haven't talked a lot about that, but a big chunk of obamacare was just making medicaid accessible to more people. and those states

probably we should then raise the taxes on everybody in kentucky to pay for medicaid., we had this deceitfulness that president obama said it would be free, taken care of 100% by the federal government but we have no money in washington. you know, we have a $0 trillion debt so it's not honest account sewing if you want more medicaid you should say we'll have to have higher taxes to pay for it. >> senator mall, i have to ask you, you've now heard testimony from rex tillerson, donald trump's nominee to be secretary of state. you were on the senate foreign relations committee. at this point are you prepared to say that you would vote for him to be secretary of state? >> yes. i will vote for rex tillerson. i was very impressed, and one of the things i was very impressed with is one of the introductions by sam nunn, a former democrat, somebody who did a lot of history in arms control and realizes important how dialogue is. we have so dumped down and simplified this whole idea of whether tillerson would be a friend of russia and all that. we want dialogue and engagement and

the challenge is is that there are a lot of people in the great state, the commonwealth of kentucky, who are strong upporters of senator rand paul whose livelihood and in some ases life depends on the health care they receive from obamacare. whether that's expanded medicaid or insurance that they've purchased in the marketplace run by the commonwealth of kentucky. so you can understand why rand ul would have some anxiety about this plan. about this strategy that's put forward by republicans. the anxiety is palpable. one of the most articulate republicans on capitol hill is the speaker of the house. he did a news conference today where he was unable to explain why republicans have not put forward their replacement plan. he's a smart guy. he spent years thinking about this. he's smart when it comes to politics, he's smart when it comes to policy. we have profound differences. he's got a different point of view. but there's nobody that questions his intellect. even he can't articulate exactly why they can't -- why they aren't putting forward a replacement plan. that does not bode well f

kentucky was once held up as a shining jewel of obamacare. well, no longer. obamacare predictably has become a mess in kentucky, just as it has across the nation. and that's proved a bit con founding to some of our friends over on the left. the technical rate of the insured ticked up, they say, so why are so many kentuckians upset? why are they upset? well, when you force kentuckians into obamacare plans that many of their doctors won't accept, what did you think would happen? when you shoehorn folks with modest incomes into plans with ever-growing premiums and deductibles so high they're afraid to even get sick, what do you expect? in fact, across the nation about four in ten adults in obamacare aren't even sure they'll be able to afford care if they really needed it. obamacare isn't truly solving problems or making our country healthier. it's a box-checking regime devoid of true compassion or empathy, a green eye shade exercise that misses something important: the lives of real people. so, mr. president, obamacare is making things worse. we now have a moral

probably we should raise the taxes on everybody in kentucky to pay for medicaid. instead we had this destreet seet -- we have no money in washington. we have a 20 trillion debt. so it's not honest accounting. if you want more medicaid you should say we have to have higher taxes to pay for it. >> you have heard testimony from tillerson. you are on the senate foreign relar relations committee. are you willing to say you will vote for him? >> yes. i was very impressed. one of the things i was very impressed with is one of the introductions by a former democrat. somebody who realizes how important dialogue is, we have so dumbed down and simplified this idea of whether tillerson would be a friend of russia. we want dialogue and engagement. the one thing he mentioned, he said in the deepest darkest throws of the world war when we were at such great odds with the soviet union and they were doing wars around the globe we still talk to the russians. this is important because on both sides they are like what are you going to do? it's like well, no. maybe we are going to hav
