in the united states it's thanks to scientists like neil county that the meat industry has been able to cut another notch in its belt. surprisingly in the health conscious state of california. this imposing building is home to the state cabinet level california environmental protection agency. we have an appointment with sam dell sent deputy director for external and legislative affairs. to show us a document that doesn't exist in any other american state when the show or. something. so this is the lists. it's a list of substances judged dangerous to man by the state of california. to do business here manufacturers are banned from using these substances or they are obliged to warn consumers and it's very restrictive because there are over eight hundred products on the list so good example that would be tobacco smoke. totally there's other things like benzene that would be something you know we have come in things like exhaust and then here we have an ounce of britain and then as aspirin you know it's a special note especially for pregnant women oh here's kind of an odd one but you kn

the real people who are living with obamacare, living in though 1 of 3 counties, where they only have one insurance character. >> neilhink if we don't get that? if it is delayed further? >> i think they could revisit it after the fourth of july reset. what we are talking to senators over the lunch, date seemed optimistic. their ongoing conversations. >> neil: we might get a hint of that later if you hang in. the president and the meetings with the senators. >> salo, will discuss the health care. have no choice but to sell this disaster. it's melting down if you speak. rates are going up. in fact, it is very interesting. the the 206% increase in alaska. i use sue's arizona is a sterile, 116%. it is a meltdown. i invited all of you. i think we'd have 52 out of 52 or 50 out of 52, and john, either one is pretty good. i think as a percentage. we are getting very close. for the country, we have to get have health care. it cannot be obamacare, which is melting down. the other side and said all sorts of things this will be great if we get it done. if we don't get it done, it's just going to be something that we are not goin

county, pennsylvania for an event. it was packed. they were all saying, look, my life is better. >> neil: they were packed for you. a rock star. >> it was a bit of a right-leaning crowd. the bottom line is, you can't argue with wages and business sentiment. you can't argue with stock prices. >> neil: are you worried the stymie here, the markets are telegraphing something? >> look, we're up 19 or 18% since he was elected. every market needs a construction. >> neil: what if this doesn't come to pass? >> healthcare? >> neil: health care, tax rewashing. >> this is one of my biggest criticisms of donald trump. he believed paul ryan that they had healthcare in the bag and had a good bill and he didn't and he should have put that aside. hopefully he said healthcare is such a big deal, let's put it aside. think about this. what if donald trump said we're putting healthcare aside and we're going to take on tax reform, which the right loves and infrastructure which the left loves. do them as a package deal. who will vote no? >> neil: if that delays taxes -- the argument is that something is better than nothing. something is

neil diamond concert at 8:00. people are trying to get into south philadelphia for events and now stuck behind the vehicle. and countye road at st. josephs church stay on 263 york road and lafayette village -- and westchester by c and r glass look for a crash at market west town road and northbound in wilmington is clear, they are scheduled to work tonight on the southbound side. back of to you. >> thank you. >>> still to come on "action news" tonight a group of youngsters are set on having fun this summer and also learning life saving skills we'll show you how. they asked for support of congressman scalise, and boy did they get it. how much the baseball game raised for charity last week. >> it's tropical with dew points in the 70s and fallen back into the 50s and comfy air is in place. but changes are on the way. ducis rogers is here and canle phil's finally snap their losing streak. we have that and the sixers and new book by jay wright. when "action news" continues tonight. if you have medicare parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance plan whenever you w

health insurance companies are leaving the exchanges, one out of three counties throughout this country have only one insurance company. neil: the only reason i raised it, you didn't have to be a math whiz to figure out in 2010 as we did when we covered the creation of -- >> you're a math whiz. neil: i wish. one of the things i did notice, senator, when you make all the guarranties in coverage for preexisting conditions, keeping your kids on the policy longer, and you don't think your premiums will not go up you're smoking something. to help those who did smoking something but i digress. now, senator, wonder with same guarranties larkly kept in place, preexisting conditions, keep kids on policy longer, under this republican plan, will insurance companies have room t% do what they did under obamacare to hike premiums? >> no doubt in south carolina, the rate increase was 120%. neil: wow. >> under our plan we can expect rate increases to be significantly lower. one of the things that obamacare said your premium would go down $2500. what did we say see? multiple thousand dollars increase. now we say you can have a doctor. neil:

neil: i see. >> so to that point, some of these insurers are saying as they pull out of more states and countiesct that these policies were so expensive under obamacare. but now it's we don't know what's going to be the replacement. so they are attributing at least in part that decision making to the -- neil: oh, i see. >> -- delay of action by the republicans. neil: sabrina, here's where i get nervous. when i hear insurance companies are happy, like anthem's happy with this initial effort, i'm not too happy because, you know, we've all had run-ins with insurance companies, so it's not a good marketing tool to say, hey, anthem's delighted, you know? >> right. and i think the marketing and messaging piece is a huge part of this. for the last six, seven years, republicans have been investigating how can you message against obamacare x there has been -- and i'm part of that conservative movement, and i can say this, there's been almost no testing of how do we talk to people about what a free market system really looks like? because now what we're seeing -- neil: have we ever reversed a big governme

county technical college outside of milwaukee -- waukesha. he will say a four-year degree is not the best for everyone. look at jobs going wonting, neil.ss the country. manufacturing jobs, skilled manufacturing jobs, 360,000 currently unfilled. another 200,000 in the skilled construction trades. these are jobs that you need skills for. it is not pick it up here and pile it there kind of jobs. these are skilled jobs but people don't have the skills for. i'll it will you, as you know he, the president in a past life made apprentices wealthy as well as famous. he would like to do it again because when you look at a starting salary of apprentice in the plumbing trade for example, in the construction trades, it is actually a higher starting salary than that of a conventional four-year considering degree graduate. if you drill down on those numbers, you see the apprenticeship jobs, starting salaries outstrip everyone from engineering majors and computer science majors. better than somebody with a business degree or gets a degree with health care, not to say the british poetry major, starting salary they get. this makes a lot of sense for a l

counties have no health insurance company even to choose from. lastly they said it was 23 co-ops. 17 of those collapsed, $2 billion cost to the taxpayers. let talks about the results. neilrepublicans, if this thing falls by the weight of its own bad math, it will be on you, even though let's say your measure fails, i'm sure you don't want to happen, it would still be existing measure, the obamacare cair that would be one that is hiccupping. they will blame you, and how do republicans answer that? >> tell you what. no matter hillary clinton or donald trump was elected last fall, action had to be taken. as paul ryan said in earlier clip. the system literally is collapsing around us on individual market. neil: senator, you're absolutely right about that. what amazing in polls, voters are the sentiment if this is unraveling problems with it, maybe mainstream media, but republicans are getting the blame. how do you correct that, say whatever you think of our plan, keep in mind nothing has been passed yet, the plan you don't like, having all problems with it, that is on the democrats under the old administration? >> we need to take action. we need to repeal obamacare and repl

counties, mostly in ohio, missouri, washington, will have no choices at all. so obamacare falling apart as washington tries to get its act together. sounds all too familiar now, doesn't it, neil these republicans having a devil of a time getting together on this. real quickly, gerri, what did you think of chuck schumer's olive branch, whatever you want to call it to work with republicans on this, given obviously the events of the week and everything else, but what do you make of that? >> look, regardless how he is not straighted, if this isn't really a true reaching out across the aisle, doesn't matter. republicans should talk to him. they should take him up on this. we should get together on this. neil: bingo. >> we to move forward. neil: bingo. plenty of people have doubts and cynicism and everything might be all like i say kabuki theater, you can't walk away. if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. if nothing happens, you're no worse for the effort. >> more of the same. neil: feel the love, right, gerri this feel the love. >> that's right. neil: president trump in miami expected to unveil a cuba policy. this was one of his big issues in the campaign especially when we nor
