i want to see medicaid treated the same way we treat medicare. medicare is there for people who are millionaires and so long as they meet the age criteria. what about that 19-year-old who is in a family that's not getting medicaid? what do we do about that 19-year-old? so these are the kinds of negotiations that are taking place. and i would hope that we will focus on what we need to do and then worry about the price tag after we get done what needs to be done. we've got $65 billion for the internet or broadband in the so-called bipartisan bill. but we need $100 billion in order to get broadband in every home in america. so i want to focus on how do we get that other $35 billion so that every family, low-income neighborhoods have access to the internet like other neighborhoods have access. that's the stuff we need to focus on. when you tell me we have $65 billion for broadband in the so-called bipartisan bill so we don't need have any more money in the $3.5 trillion bill or the so-called build back better bill, i got a problem with that because o

and they'll strengthen it in the bill and part of the care act was an expansion of medicaid we'll have in this bill. it's so much. that's why i said that. yeah. it will be an eventful day. perhaps i'll see you along the way. think positively. reporter: are you speaking with the president of man gola? can you tell us about the meeting with the president of angola? >> just a few minutes after speaker pelosi's briefing, house republican leader kevin mccarthy answered questions from reporters and said most house republicans oppose the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill because he said democrats have tied it to the $3.5

additionally the build back better act includes a solution to permanently close the medicaid coverage gap. there is still 12 states that have refused to expand medicaid, and as many as four million people currently lack access to health care because of the coverage gap. no more. ensuring that medicaid is available to everyone who needs it will reduce emergency room visits, allow for an increased focus on preventive care, and save us money in the long run. . closing the gap will help and because of it many women are not eligible for care before they become pregnant and by the time they get approved have missed months and weeks of prenatal care in the early days of pregnancy. access to health care in the early days of pregnancy are crucial in protecting and treating pregnancy related complications for both mother and baby, closing the coverage gap will ensure new mothers have access to care when they need it most. with the bill back better we're tackling health equity issues from babies to older adults. once we pass the bill back better act we'll begin includes dental, vision and hearin

with more than 4 million americans with about 600,000 georgians in the medicaid gap in critical debtelief for small farmers during the pandemic and this is part of the build back better agenda the other top priority of mine while we're all here today we have a chance to extend the child tax credit is making a difference in the lives of the 14 million children want to be clear who this tax cut helps because people have no vision and some time discussing these policies we need to slow down 97 percent of american itfamilies with children will benefit with the tax cut. after he passed the american rescue plan which significantly expanded the child tax credit in the earned income tax credit and then to call me on his way back home senator bennett and just a few short months after i got elected we passed the american rescue plan because we could do this. and senator brown's said roughly out one of the best days of my career. because we can pass the american rescue plan and this is transformational experts have said what we have made earlier to cut child poverty and half nationwide think ab

"the washington post," the headline, they write that not all are as pessimistic. the courts order was based on legal procedure and it went out of its way to say abortion providers and civil rights groups "raise serious questions about regarding the constitutionality of the texas law at issue." do you think that signals the court is also concerned about enforcement provisions? guest: i do not think any of us know the answer to that. the one thing we do know is that these five ultraconservative, radical justices were put on the supreme court with the goal of overturning roe v. wade. but i wanted to get back to your last question and that is, it is a concern

: also announcing more stringent requirements for healthcare facilities that accept medicare and medicaidhere is more from the president yesterday. [video clip] pres. biden: my plan will extend vaccination requirements i previously issued for the healthcare field. already, i have announced we will be requiring vaccinations at all nursing home workers who treat patients on medicare and medicaid because i have that federal authority. tonight, i'm using that same authority to expand that to cover those who work in hospitals, home healthcare facilities, or other medical facilities. a total of 17 million healthcare workers. if you are seeking care at a health facility, you should be able to know that the people treating you are vaccinated. simple, straightforward, period. [end video clip] host: president biden yesterday. the president signing an executive order targeting federal employees looking to get them vaccinated. more from the president yesterday. [video clip] pres. biden: i will sign an executive order that will not require all executive branch federal employees to be vaccinated. all.

he announced federal employees and workers at medical abilities that accept that a care or medicaid need to be vaccinated. pres. biden: good evening americans. i want to talk about where we are in the battle against covid-19, the progress we have made an work we have left to do. and to start understanding this, even the delta variant 19 has covid-19 has been hitting this country hard, we have the tools to combat the virus. if we can come together as a country and use those tools. if we raise our vaccination rates, protect ourselves and others with masking, expand testing and identify people who are infected, we can and we will turn the tide of covid-19. it will take a lot of hard work and it will take some time. many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million americans who are still not vaccinated. even though the vaccine is safe, effective and free. you might be confused about what is true, what is false about covid-19. so before i outline the new steps to fight covid-19 that i'm going to be announcing tonight, let me give you clear information about where we stand. first, we have

for businesses, also announcing more stringent requirements for hospitals receiving medicare and medicaid. [video clip] >> already i have announced we will be requiring vaccinations at all nursing home workers who treat jeff: nearly 75% of americans 12 and older have gotten at least their first shot. now over 170 7 million americans are fully vaccinated over 177 million americans are fully vaccinated -- 40 people -- 4 million more got their vaccination in august then july. thank you to the resources from the american rescue plan, we are in a stronger position than when the country faced curse -- sophisticated surges in the past. -- then when the country faced surges in the past. keeping schools open in our economy growing into decreasing hospitalizations and deaths. getting more people vaccinated is the cornerstone of this plan. after president biden announced vaccination requirements for federal workers in july, hundreds of small, medium, and large businesses, health care systems, colleges and universities, school districts, and state and local governments stepped up to follow his lead a

same with health-care workers who work for hospitals that participate in medicare and medicaid programshe poor and elderly. as you saw, any employer that employs more than 100 americans is going to have to require vaccination or have their employees tested. that is going to sweep a wide variety of individuals, 100 million americans. much more broadly than we have seen up until this point. laura: this is a six-point plan that president biden is unveiling. what is he saying about the back-to-school policy, about booster shots? reporter: start rolling out booster shotspotter end of september. also wants to bring more money to schools to allow them to open safely. i think that is an overwhelming concern for many americans, americans with children, about what schools are doing, how they are providing for safety, whether schools have enough money to ensure this. the biden administration sees that as a concern that needs to be addressed. we are hearing that the los angeles school district is going to mandate vaccinations for all of their schoolchildren over 12. i think you are going to see tha

larry: they want to pump up government dependency including increases in medicare and medicaid andheou look at the consumer price index they had two categories one is prescription drugs, that may not include all of the six per mental drugs, i get that. but prescription drugs over the 12 months of august minus 2.7% those prices have been falling steadily for years and overall drugs which includes a generics which trump the regulated, those are down 2.4%, i'm just saying this is abl solution looking for problem but in terms of advanced technology, does the taxes and price control and lower profits stop innovation that will put these guys out of business they will not take risks does that mean rent the bottom. >> everybody knows us. innovation, we need more innovation, were in a pandemic, we need innovation, we just talk operation warp speed that worked incredible under the trump administration and with your guidance that's what we need going forward, we don't need limitation but as we know everything that joe biden touches turns into a crisis whether the border crisis or inflation cris

>> they'd like to expand medicaid, the medicaid program for the dozen or so states that have not yet expanded under the affordable care act. the supreme court made that optional, most states joined because the federal government pays 90% of the cost of that, but there are a dozen states, including texas, florida and georgia that have not yet expanded so there are several million people still not getting the benefits of the affordable care act. they want -- they increased some of the subsidies for people who buy coverage through the aca earlier this year as part of the covid relief bill. they would like to extend them or make them permanent. congress wants to expand medicare, medicare doesn't cover dental, eye coverage. they want to add those. and finally they want to expand home and community based care. this is part of a long-term care issue that congress has been grappling with for decades and every time they try to do something the price tag makes them sit back and think we'll do it another day. it's possible it could happen here. the way to pay for these, is the prescription drug

program, the office of refugee resettlement, the bureau of prisons, the centers for medicare and medicaid services, and the office of personnel management. the complaint therefore seeks a declaratory judgment that sp-8 is invalid under the supremacy clause and the 14th amendment, is preempted by federal law, and violates the doctrine on the intergovernmental unity. the united states also seeks a permanent and preliminary injunction prohibiting enforcement of the statute against the state of texas, including against the state's officers, employees, and agents, and private parties it has effectively deputized who would bring suit under sp-8. the department of justice has a duty to defend the constitution of the united states and to uphold the rule of. today, we fulfill that duty by filing the lawsuit i have just described. before i take some questions, i want to say a few words to the american people on the people of the 20th anniversary of the attacks of september 11, 2001. that day is seared into all of our memories. nothing we can do or say can replace the loss so many endured that day.

we've got 600,000 georgians in the medicaid gap. we've got to provide critical debt relief for small farmers who have taken a financial hit during the pandemic. all of these things are covered in this build back better agenda. but the other top priority of mine and why we're all here today is that we have a chance to extend the expanded child tax credit. we've already seen making a difference in the lives of over 2.2 million children just in georgia alone. i want to be clear about who this tax cut helps. because people who have no vision engage in division and sometimes when we're discussing these policies, we need to slow down and make sure folk know exactly who we're talking about. 97% -- 97% of american families with children would benefit from this tax cut. after we passed the american rescue plan, we significantly expanded the child tax credit and earned income tax credit to put money in the pockets of working families, i remember senator booker -- actually senator bennet called me from his car. he was on his way back home. i h

as i said before, over half of the births in texas are to medicaid patients, and women do get medicaid when they're pregnant in our state. so very likely we would see increased cost to the medicaid program, as well. >> thank you very much. mr. chairman. >> i have to start by confessing a bit of confusion over today's hearing, particularly the title which links together texas's abortion ban and the role of the shadow docket. what mystifies me about this is that the motion's docket that we're talking about, the so-called shadow docket. i thought the complaint about the shadow docket, by the way, i clerked at the u.s. supreme court. i remember well the motions docket and and how it works in the emergency aspect to it. i thought the complaint and concerned about that were the summary reversals and the orders that the court supposedly issues when they intervene in cases when they grant emergency injunctions without the benefit of full briefing opinions et cetera. in the texas case, the court simply refused to act. they didn't intervene. the court didn't use a summary reversal. they didn't i

medicare, medicaid funding at your hospital, your facility, your staff must be vaccinated. the chorus on the right was instant -- oh, that's controversial! the commentary on the press on this -- that's a very controversial thing to do. some staff won't want to be vaccinated. yes, that's true. you do think that's less controversial, less of a reach than lbj using medicare to forcibly desegregate 2,000 whites-only hospitals in the south overnight? do you think this is an unprecedented thing president biden is doing? that hospitals and health facilities order, that staff have to be vaccinated, that builds on what he already ordered several months ago in terms of nursing home staff. nursing homes that get federal funding -- and they basically all do, a condition of that federal funding is that nursing home staff all need to be vaccinated. this is an extension of that to apply to hospitals and health facilities. president biden is also using his authority over the federal work force to require vaccinations among federal workers and among federal contractors. but, but, but, he ca

we certainly cover the by as that medicaid and medicare has been used in the past have been way more controversial than that, including effectively forcing the degreg e segregation of hospitals in the south in the 1960s, but in the mod were setting, do you think that those things may have to require the biden administration now? >> i think any lawyer would be naive to say there are no trip wires here for decades and decades as you suggested. there were effectively no limits on the kind of conditions that the federal government can atoptach to spending programs, like medicaid and medicare. with the affordable care act case, that all changed. about a decade ago. and now i think any conditions that seem to be unusual or seem to be unonerous might trigger on some courts to be skeptical. now, these kind of requirements are, of course, very common sense in the context of healthcare you want to make sure that health care workers are not infecting their patients. so this is entirely reasonable. that would be the kind of a test that would have been used in the past. but as you've suggested, w

but these steps with osha and the center for medicare and medicaid studies are within the wheel housef the federal government. that does not mean they're going to be challenged. it is very clear that we'll see court challenges and injunctions to stop these rules from being implemented. but i think those challenges are more likely to be focused on questions about whether the proper procedures are followed and implementing these requirements as well as questions about whether the standards which we haven't actually seen yet but whether they're tailored sufficiently to signify the substantive requirements of the statutes. >> so, the financial sort of conductivity that the federal government can use sometimes. right. that's what they're doing with healthcare workers. can that reach into the education sector? right. there's federal funding to special education programs and a lot of local school districts. and it's a very limited amount of federal funds. is that enough to wield a federal mandate into various academic settings whether k through 12 or universities? >> i think that comes down

medicaid rates are not a sustainable business for a clinical practice or hospital. if we are thing about expanding medicaid, we have to be careful and realize insurance does not equal access to care. the caller also brought up an important point about employee sponsored health insurance. it is a challenging marketplace especially for small businesses. we have to provide opportunities for small businesses to think about other ways and mechanisms to ensure employees. host: dr. brian miller >> the house is back in session at 2:00 p.m. eastern. today they'll debate legislation to ends the sentences disparities of possession of crack cocaine and powder cocaine. and the house will debate the $1.2 trillion bill the senate passed last month. speaker nancy pelosi says the hous

even lyndon baines johnson in the context of the great society programs like medicare and medicaid had 290 or so democrats in the house and i think 68 senators on the democratic side in the senate. but the urgency of the moment, the conditions that everyday americans are confronting, which president biden so correctly said we need to address decisively, require action that's comprehensive, that is compassionate, and that's continuing. we have to build back better. we can't go back to pre-pandemic normal. president biden, as candidate biden, promised we would deal with the fact, for instance, that half the american people, prior to the pandemic, reported they could not afford a sudden unexpected $400 expense. that's not an acceptable condition in the wealthiest country in the world. >> what's the whip count? >> that's probably a question that's above my pay grade, i'm just a caucus chair. we've got great leadership. >> the expectation is this will pass. is that the expectation of leadership? >> the expectation is absolutely that it will pass. and we are on a path to making sure that tha
