medicare and medicaid passed in july, 1965. medicaid was really an afterthought in the legislative drafting process. the law's ratification shortly after the assassination of president john f. kennedy meant that there was a greater focus on the medicare law and there were certain historical reasons for this. medicare began and grew out in 1960 which also grew out of the medical aid for a program, which was a new deal era program that began in the 40's and 50's. for that reason, most policymakers and legislators were focused on delivering medical assistance public insurance options for the elderly who were at risk of bankruptcy and high costs from end-of-life care. so when medicaid was appended to the law it was seen as a way to extend a similar program to those who were deemed medically indigent. at first, medical indigence was seen as a way to capture people that did not have incomes below the official poverty line. so, say, if a family of four in new york made $6,000, if they made $6,001 they would not have qualified for the

medicare will not cover. everything. thalso, when they talk about --i mean, ms. skiles, is she willing to take a pay cut? medicaid reimburses capitals and providers where they lose money. that is why many providers don't accept it. medicare they are lucky if they break even which is another reason why providers may not participate with medicare. it is the third-party payers or the insurance companies that are providing a reimbursement rate high enough for hospitals to stay open to develop you know, new treatments, research to happen to pay for increased allergies for the workers so like i said, every time i hear medicare fori all i am like, do you know how medicare works to oubegin with that it is not this wonderful thing that everybody or everything you need done is covered one 100% and as a nurse, i don't want it. that is a misnomer that all nurses want medicare for all. >> host: susan, we will get a response from cokie giles. they keep speaking yes, thank you for your call. i guess what i would like to start with is medicare for all bill that bernie has is primarily improve and expand medicare. my parents, jus

they say shows the president is cutting medicare and medicaid. was nancy posted, less than a week after promising to protect family healthcare in state of the union address, the president has brazenly inflicted savage multibillion-dollar cuts to medicare and medicaid, she goes on to say americans quality, affordable healthcare will never be saved with president trump. however, the white house and the president are saying medicare and medicaid numbers will be increasing and decreases our reforms or savings as they put it. here's a president earlier today. >> we are not decreasing medicaid but were doing a lot of things that are very great tremendous waste and tremendous fraud. >> also as well, earlier today at the white house, there was a nation's governor, two thirds of them sitting down getting some facetime in one-on-one with the president. we should know there were ten of the 24 democratic governors, democrats from democratic states, we believe that the white house, we did not see a sighting of gavin newsom or andrew cuomo i was told the near

medicare is great, medicaid works wonderfully. obviously, they are helping lots of people and people like them. i view this as a problem with our health care system and trying to address the root causes for the continued rapid growth -- growth. we have to address that. if we solve that we will solve the problem with medicare and medicaid. host: we have a viewer off of twitter asking about interest rates. and, if you think they might start to rise. anst: well, it is always intrepid thing. i forecast a lot of things, interest rates are tough. i do not think -- it depends on your horizon. caller isnow if this focused on the next year thinking they want to buy a home. you are in shape for the next six months, the economy is ok but not growing fast. there are a whole -- not a whole lot of inflationary pressures and we have risks like the ononavirus that will weigh growth. i think interest rates remain low. maybe the caller is thinking about buying a home. the 30 year fixed rate mortgage 3.5%,is going for about which is about as good as

it does not cut medicare or medicaid. >> okay. if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck. it's a $500 billion cut to medicare over a ten-year period of time. now, the president's budget also cuts social security disability by $24 billion. true? >> the budget has reforms to the disability insurance program to ensure people are getting off a cycle of dependency and getting back to the work force when they can get jobs in the national economy. >> and that would result in a 24 billion cut. correct? >> we don't believe it will be a cut. we believe there are savings to be had from getting people back to work. it's also $7 billion of improper payments in the disability insurance program. that is reflected in our budget, there's no cuts. >> if we can stick to facts as opposed to alternate facts, that would be helpful. the president stated i have made an ironclad pledge to american families, we will always protect patients with preexisting conditions. did he make that statement? >> he did, and he believes it. >> there's not

americans living under an unaccountable president, who will cut taxes for corporations and then cut medicare, medicaid and social security for the rest of us, we must get this right. [applause] when people of color fear for their own place in their own country, while infants are torn from their parents at the border, we must get this right. [applause] and when a commander-in-chief pardons war criminals and punishes war heroes while systematically demolishing the credibility of our country in the eyes of the world, we dare not risk four more years of his presidency. we must get this right. [applause] >> we are clear eyed about the challenge before us. we must be equally clear about the choice at hand. share thetors and i same fundamental goals, bringing balance to our economy, guaranteeing health care to every american, combating a climate crisis and rising tide of gun violence. we differ in what we believe it will take to make that happen. in this election season, we have been told by some the must either before a revolution or for the status quo. where does that leave the rest of us? most americans d

within 48 hours, he will say no medicaid cuts, no medicare cuts. do you run against a guy who on monday proposes medicare and medicaid cuts and then disowns them tuesday or wednesday as i am betting he will? >> you run on reality. that's how i closed that debate friday night. he is boasting about things with the economy and going down to mar-a-lago and telling his friends, you just got a lot richer. there are people in new hampshire and around the country that aren't feeling that prosperity. they are struggling to pay for their child care. they are struggling to fill their insulin prescription. there are major problems right now for a lot of people. that's why i figured out after sitting through that impeachment hearing and watching the bravery of some of my colleagues like mitt romney and doug jones that what this president lacks is empathy. that's why i came up with ending my debate with the story of fdr, that when he died, they put his body in the train and the regular guy is standing by the tracks and the reporter says, sir, did you know the pr

medicare. and for medicaid, 900 billion dollars. so if you're sitting at home at your kitchen table and you're a senior or your family on medicare, you're getting long-term care in your family budget, you are getting caught. two thirds of long-term care, two thirds of long-term care is a 45 medicaid. this is a middle cut benefit. those cuts endanger the health of seniors in the long-term care needs for them and their families these medicaid cuts also hurt local hospitals, people seeking opioid addiction treatment, veterans and their families more than 1 million veterans are on medicaid. 900 billion dollars cut from medicaid. at the same time the president supports fighting to overturn the affordable care act which has pre-existing condition benefits so important to all those families but in this budget, what could possibly be his motivation to cut all that money from the cdc at the time of the coronavirus and the threat that is putting money from the center for disease control using the full title of prevention elements of the good h

in 1965, senators and legislators didn't think medicaid would surpass medicare. it quickly becomes a popular program at least in the states that wanted to fund it. case when the laws passed, they used medical indigence he standard which was more liberal to expand access to 1.5 million new yorkers. when dixiecrat's in southern states pushed back against that the result ofion restricting medical indigence he newt that on million yorkers were taken off the rules. the johnson era and the great society was seen as an era of excessive liberalism even though it wasn't necessarily purely focused on expanding equity and begins richard nixon, he to pull back a number of and heration projects begins to deemphasize the focus on inpatient care in favor of out patient care. as inflation intensifies in the 70's, 1973 being the opec oil crisis and the nixon shock where the direct convertibility of the daughter there -- the dollar to gold is canceled, a number of push theomic shocks wider political and national context away from medicaid and this culminates in the administration

does not cut medicare or medicaid. >> if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck it's a dud. the 5 billion dollar cut to medicare over tenure period of time per the presence budget also cuts social security disability by $24 billion, true? >> the budget has reforms to the disability insurance program to ensure people are getting off of a cyclic dependency in getting back into the workforce when they can get jobs in the national economy. that will result in 24 million. test 24 billion-dollar cut. >> we believe their savings to be had in people getting back to work and $7 billion in improper payments in the disability insurance program and that is reflected in our budget. >> if we can stick to the facts that would be helpful. during the president's state of the union address he stated i have made an ironclad pledge to american families we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions. did he make that statement? >> you did. there's nothing in the 2021 budget that protects individuals from pre-existing conditions. >> there's a future proposal that is not reflected in

we are deeply concerned about the proposed funding reductions to medicare, medicaid, social security, nutrition assistance, caregiver support, housing assistance and other assistance for early -- for older americans. aarp calls on congress to protect these critical programs that millions of americans rely on for their health and financial security. that's their statement. i'll add to that, many of these people are veterans. over a million veterans benefit from medicaid. and snap. the snap program. food insecurity. sadly is prevalent in our veteran community. we also saw the president this week demonstrate once again that he has no respect for the rule of law. his assault on the rule of law by engaging in political interference in the sentencing of his associate, roger stone, indicated obstruction investigation into trump-russia ties and witness tampering. that's what stone was indicted for. this is an abuse of power that the president is again trying to manipulate federal law enforcement to serve his political interest. and the president is what he s. he thinks he's above the law. he

security, when in fact in his budget, the 220 budget he submitted, $2 trillion decreased in medicare and medicaid combined including in terms of social security, to reduce the disability benefit in social security. at the kitchen table of america's working families to serve these falsehoods. appalling also was what he was trying to discredit the triumph of the obama administration on the economy. a paper on this put out by the joint economic committee under leadership of don buyer, house vice chair on that and it talks about all the things -- to succinctly put it, when president obama came into office the unemployment rate was 10%. when he left it was 5%. donald trump did not inherit -- he inherited a momentous job creation. president obama came into office, 6000. when he left it was it 18,000. again, momentum the administration was able to pick up on. during eight years of obama's presidency he reduce the deficit by $1 trillion. instead this administration is increasing and with their tax cuts, tax scam, the benefits are going to the top one%. they increased the national debt by $2 trillion and

the donald trump budget cuts over $1.5 trillion from medicare, medicaid, and social ecurity. the donald trump budget cuts over $1.5 trillion from medicare, medicaid, and social security. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? mr. wilson: i move unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: thank you, madam speaker. congratulations to charles mccade, a freshman at a.c. florida high school in columbia and next sunday charles will receive the extraordinary award of eagle scout from troop 10 at east minister presbyterian church. he's preceded by his brother, as well as usins, his uncle. in earning this prestigious honor with the boy scouts of america. charles has also been elected the senior patrol leader in troop 10 serving with scout master buoy as well as being elected to the order of palmetto. as the father of four sons who are eagle scouts, i'm grateful to teand scores of honors

liz: you know, bernie would get rid of obamacare, would get rid of medicare, medicaid, schip, federalam, benefits uneries is a. we'll show you what his law said. bernie is misleading. his former campaign manager said you can't beat donald trump with double-talk and not be clear on your socialist health care plan. here is margaret brennan pointing that out to bernie sanders. watch this. >> you're advocating for the empowerment of u.s. government to take over the entire health care system. this just optically -- >> margaret, margaret,. >> can't be on its own -- margaret. that is not a true statement. i'm not advocating for the united states government to take over the health care system. what i am advocating for is an expansion of medicare. medicare exists. >> right. >> which would be administered by the u.s. government. >> precisely. liz: okay. he is trying to have it both ways. trying to say expand medicare but government take over. everybody gets put inside of the government. your reaction? >> liz, that was deeply dishonest the way bernie sanders described that because what this heal

if this president gets elected again, he will cut medicare, medicaid, and social whority to pay corporations are not paying taxes at this point. it scares me. >> osmond is in delaware. are you with us? go ahead. we are going to move on to ron in tampa, florida. turn down your volume and don't speak on the speakerphone. it makes it a little difficult to hear. sentence, finish that the state of the union is? >> i think the state of the union is in very good shape. representatives from the democratic party not attending tonight is really pathetic. when november comes, it won't have a job working for our government, so that will be fine. >> another tweet from a member of congress, representative vicky hartzler. we await the senate state of the union. here is what missouri has achieved under donald trump. 3.3% unemployment rate, 56,000 new jobs, 30,000 people lifted out of poverty, wages up 4%, median household income up 8%, business applications in made,ri up 11%, promises promises capped." next call is ryan in clark summit pennsylvania. you were on c-span. finish that sentence. >> the state of

safety net, so fewer people would be receiving food stamps, fewer people would be covered by medicaid, medicare, and that is essentially how they are looking to achieve long-term savings. host: you touched on this in terms of the growth projections the administration is proposing. the concord coalition's robert this, spending reform that flies in the face of recent experience, the president's budget would still be in deficit over the next 10 years, so what does their forecast a, what does the administration's forecast a about what we will be -- when we will be out of deficit? guest: right. this is the difference between what the government spends and the revenue that they take in. the idea is sort of this conservative, i cannot think of a good word for it, conservative ideal, and the president's first budget proposed to do that over the course of a decade. now we are looking at a less aggressive timeline that the administration is proposing. they say that they are aiming to close the deficit within 15 years. some conservatives are saying, speakow, ok, but actions louder than words. we will real

that is not going anywhere. >> he said not medicare. medicaids yes, and social security. >> i said sobe social security . david: you go no but not ned me. >> this is a delicate dynamic, the challenge is that democrats want a perfect solution. but republicans understand there are trade offs that are needed to get to where we need to go. looking inside it, i saw 1 trillion infrastructure spending. i -- how i view that and see, that i see that as jobs be as investment in america,s in we need to reduce deficit and continue to investment and future growth, and jobs. >> you had the house and senate and executive branch, you could not do infrastructure. >> -- listen. >> that is okay. david: i'm sorry you cannot, we have run out of time, we're have to move on. thank you, gang, leader of palestinian authority, mahmoud abbas planning on taking president trump at u.n. tomorrow condemning president's plan for peace in middle east, israel ambassador to u.n., danny danon is sounding off, high wil he isg us live in studio with his response, next. david: presid

he puts out a budget with more than a trillion dollars in cut to medicare, medicaid can, social security and affordable care act. and the budget also serves as a reminder, oh, yeah, by the way, the administration is in court as i speak to you trying to destroy the aca root and branch. just upend everyone's health insurance in one fell swoop. the aca is ten points more popular than the president himself. [ laughter ] his administration has gutted the clean water act which, guess what, people love clean water. this is not rocket science, the politics of it. they've laid waste to environmental regulations and are now proposing to cut the budget of the epa as of today by 26%. they also cut taxes worth trillions of dollars for rich people and for corporations. and when he signed that bill -- i think this is really important to remember. it was basically the lowest ebb of his popularity. signing his big legislative achievement. that was the lowest, least popular he ever got. trump is vulnerable on all this stuff. he's vulnerable on medicare cuts and tax cuts to the rich and environmental degra

sabotage of the health care bill, what he does to entitlement programs like social security be medicare/medicaid. >> president trump posted several tweets after the vote including reaction to romney. also, almost immediately after the senate voted to acquit, he actually tweeted this time magazine cover animation from october 2018. >>> today a nationwide ban on many e-cigarette and vaping products goes into effect. most kid friendly flavor cartridges including fruits and candy flavored all covered in the ban. menthol and tobacco flavorings will still be legal. some believe teens have moved on to other products on the market. >>> a man accused of opening fire on a greyhound bus will be back in court next week. this is after his arraignment was postponed. an attorney defending williams shielded his client's face in court yesterday. williams is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of six people early monday outside of bakersfield. one person died. his attorney is asking for more time to evaluate a conflict of interest. >>> the public works department expected back in court this morning i

benefits going to the top 1%, they increased the national debt by $2 trillion and they want to medicare and medicaid to try to pay for that. but we're not doing that. and then during the eight years of -- when president bush was president, the job growth was slow, under president obama we gained more than 14 million private sector jobs, and during his presidency, more than -- and that is far more in the pro rated in terms of years than what the president has created. a momentum, a path of $14 million is not a mess, mr. president. and then during his presidency, we rescued the auto industry and all that brought back to the economy. during the administration, more than 20 million people were afforded quality affordable health care and in addition to that, 150 million families with pre-existing conditions got a new benefit that enabled them to have access to health care as well as other benefits of no lifetime, no annual lift, child until 26 years old can stay on your benefit. bag woman, no longer a pre-existing condition. when the talks about making health care. the fact is, he did nothing. he did not

so the cuts on medicare and medicaid, i'm concerned about that that are in the budget. there's nothing that stops the lawsuit on the aca going through the courts that would take away coverage on pre-existing conditions and everything else under the aca. i'm very concerned that when the court initially agreed with the fact that the aca should be repealed, including pre-existing conditions, the president tweeted great news for america. not great news for henry. so i'm very, very concerned about that. the area we have the opportunity to work together and make a difference is in the area of mental health. when you said grants are not enough, you are right. we have champions around this committee for addiction and opioid treatment. it's a grant, and when the grant runs out, so sorry. the folks asked to do that in health care are the mentally ill and people with addiction. as you know, senator blunt and i, and now we have 12 members, democrats and republicans, we're expecting to add more people, we have a house bipartisan effort to expand an eight-state demonstration project

cheers and applause] they don't want tax breaks for billionaires and cuts to social security, medicare, and medicaidrstandn people that if you work 40 hours a week , you should not live in poverty , and that we have got to raise that minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. [cheers and applause] the american people understand that health care is a human rights watch, not a privilege. [cheers and applause] sen. sanders: and that our administration is going to take on the greed and corruption of the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry. [cheers and applause] and whether they like it or not, we will pass a medicare for all, single-payer program.

they're going to lose almost $300000000000.00 in funding according to trump's plan that extends to medicare medicaid and social security and forecast right now suggest that there's a real chance that that budget could be approved we sounded out antiwar activist brian baca who isn't convinced by trump's changes. there is nothing more absurd than taking more money away from health education that which people need in the united states and using it to gin up for a confrontation with russia trying to ministrations moving far away from even the semblance of diplomacy they're cutting the state department and cutting the usa id budget but they're also cutting the national institutes for health the environmental protection agency they're cutting the centers for disease disease control at the same time the media and the government is beating the war drums against china over the coronavirus the us is actually slashing its budget that's what the budget proposes big savage cuts to the health care infrastructure in america including to the centers for disease control and the national institute of health i mean th

chairman and secretary a czar i would first start with the concerns about medicare or medicaid cuts theno transition what we talked about a number of times to improve people's quality of life and we have an opportunity to do that but first this is henry, nine years old he treats everybody with a big hug he loves performing and is in dance class and the challenges he is with a number of pre-existing conditions and as you can imagine he has been in and out of the hospital with a lot of challenges because of you don't have access to affordable health coverage was well before henry was one years old so in addition to the cuts of medicare and medicaid we are very concerned there is nothing that stops the ata going to the court to take away coverage on pre-existing conditions and everything else under the aca. i am very concerned when the court initially agrees with the fact the aca should be repealed the president tweeted great news for america not great news for henry. so i am concerned about that. and to make a difference of health services with those efforts around addiction and opioid tre

how we plan to cut medicare and medicaid, it is not true. i don't know what these proposals, what they are talking about with social security. reforms are absolutely needed, but the democrats when they refer to social security 2100, they want to raise taxes via payroll taxes and then increase benefits to seniors. so you want to take money from millennials and gen z and you want to transfer that directly to people who had their entire lives to save and build businesses. we talk a lot about economic issues, my generation is facing those issues of housing costs and things like that that are making things more difficult for millennials to prosper than prior generations. >> in some ways, the issue of the fairness is a difficult one. you put your finger right on it with social security and that's what our analysis of the 2100 act shows as well, that the people closest to retirement would come off of it. >> what's the best indicator of wealth? is it gender, race or age? >> wealth increases with age. education is tightly connected to income which ov
