if you get rid of obama care, you have the debt with that. we heard as high as $9 trillion to $350 billion, depending on the metric you use. the other thing we're concerned about here, not having a replacement bill ready to go immediately. if it's a future promise. that's something that they're leery of. they want to see actual deficit reduction. these two things might not mesh together. so the house freedom caucus is going to meet monday night and vote and determine if they should support the first bucket package, which is the initial step in repealing and replacing obama care. if they vote as a block, 80%, if they stick together, they will vote no, that could be enough to sideline this on the house for. that's a problem out of the blocks. in other words, it could potentially sideline the effort before they get started, neil. >> we'll have rand paul here in a few minutes. one thing i was unclear of and maybe you can tell me, that republicans are united in hating this healthcare law. the way it has been positioned and using the budget resolut

we are honored to speak with president obama about the affordable care act. its performance and passage and now uncertain future. we would prefer to hear from him than me. join me in welcoming president barack obama. president obama: hello. hello. hello. [applause] >> good morning. president obama: great to be here and thank you so much for all the good reporting you guys have been doing on this important issue. >> thank you. >> we'll get started. there was an expectation that was shared among many of your staff, many congressional democrats as the aft rolls out and delivers benefits to millions of people that it would become more popular and safe from repeal or substantial reform and it appears that isn't quite true. what do you think you got wrong and why didn't the health care law become more popular? president obama: let's back up and say from the start there's a reason why for 100 years, no president could get expansion of health care coverage beyond the work that had been done for medicare and medicaid targeting primarily seniors. and the reason was that

care law? president obama: well, look. i think i sort of gave the advice just now. which is if, in fact, this is not about politics but this is about providing the best possible health care system for the american people, then my advice would be to say, what precisely is it about obama care that you think doesn't work? because you've already said there are some things you think do work. all right? the republicans keep on saying, well, we want to keep the things that people like and that are working well, so they think it's a good idea obama care says your kids can stay on your health insurance plan until they're 26. they think that's a good idea. they think it's a good idea that if you've got a preexisting condition you can still get health insurance. i assume they think it's a good idea that seniors have gotten discounts on their prescription drugs. we closed the donut hole during the course of obama care. they approve of some of the changes we've made to encourage a healthier system that rewards quality rather than just the number of procedures involved. and how we

. >> everybody, not just people who use obama care specifically. >> exactly. e ability to slow the rising cost of health care is what we are really talking about here and more broadly speaking, people, all workers, have been covered under this pre -- this requirement under obama care that they get screenings for very basic things like colonoscopy, mammograms, all of those things are under obama care as a requirement. we could see some workers lose that as well. >> a lot of people are worried -- we have a story about company ken coal miners and their concerns about obama care. john, let me move to the conferring about the farewell address we are anticipating from the president next week. you just came out with your book, washington's farewell the founding father's warning to future generations. president obama talks about george washington. in that context what can we expect to hear? >> presidential farewell addresses go back to george washington. they all tend to be warnings. most presidential speeches are promises. but farewell speeches are warnings. not only

intelligence agencies, and the fight over the future of obama care. president obama and vice president-elect mike pence both on capitol hill today with opposing goals. the president trying to salvage his namesake health care plan. the president-elect pushing to dismantle it. meantime, president-elect trump ridicules the u.s. intelligence communities findings on what it calls so-called russian hacking. he also appeared to give credence to claims by wiki-leaks founder julian assange. assage denies that russia was the source of hacked emails published by wiki-leaks. we'll dig sbeep deeper into both stories this hour. let's begin with capitol hill. the showdown right now over obama care. president obama and vice president-elect pence. they rallied their troops, and they laid out their battle plans. >> thank you. thank you. look out for the american people. >> sources say the president told democrats not to rescue republicans by approving something worse to replace obama care. a replacement plan he calls trump care. senate minority leader chuck schumer says

you break it, you buy it, and obama care will become trump care. president-elect perhaps seeing that warning for his own party tweeting republicans must be careful in that democrats own the failed obama care disaster. adding obama care will fall of its own weight. be careful. all the people covered by obama care are left wondering what comes next. while a president trump could take executive action as soon as he takes office, he's aware of the political consequences of the fight. republicans are saying they want to phase out obama care over several years giving them time to come up with a comprehensive replacement and ensuring americans don't feel like the rug is being pulled out from under them. >>> thanks to mary. the president-elect has selected a top wall street attorney to head the securities and exchange commission. jay clayton is an expert in public stock launches. the transition team as sec chair, he would encourage investment and provide oversight of wall >>> trump hired a political advisor dismissed by chris christie in the wake of the br

the house has a plan today on obama care. it is one of the first steps towards dismantling the signature health care law. peter barnes in washington with the latest. >> and they plan to vote today on starting the process of repealing and replacing obama care after the senate took the first step early thursday morning. on a partyline vote. they approved a budget rest which creates an outline for the next budget. including my changing policy including healthcare rules. the speaker of the house said yesterday that he is planning on that. i spoke with president-elect trump to the last three days on this. >> is so-called regular order he wants committees to do the work in the house to try to get consensus and support in support behind legislation. replacing obama care may involve more than one bill and we should note they have already voted numerous times on bills to report peel and replace obama care should not include a ton of extra work. >> a top intelligence officials well brief officials on russia's attempt to meddle in the u

vice-president elect mike pence on the hill leading law makers on dismantling obama care. this as president obama discusses how to save his signature achievement. mike is on capitol hill. what is vice-president mike pence's message to the republican maw law makers? >> reporter: his message is 16 days changing the way washington does business. vice-president elect mike pence is making the rounds on the first business be day of the one 15th congress. he said the american people have spoke sxent president-elect and his team will untend to deliver. >> they want to see us repeal and replace obama care and my message to members of congress, we are in the promise- keeping business and the first order is to repeal obama care and replace it with with the kind of health care reform to lower the cost of health insurance without growing the size of government. >> reporter: i should note that the vice-president elect is at a policy lunchion with senators. we expect him and the senate gop leadership about their discussion. >> melissa: we'll get back with you. but does it feel like democr

california congressman tom mcclintock summed up the hopes and fears about replacing obama care this way. we better be sure that we are prepared to live with the market we have created. that's can be called trump care. they well on that lock stock and barrel and we will be judged less than two years away. republicans are carried from the constituents that they like some parts of the oporto will care act like making insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions they are also hearing some middle-class families are getting crushed by the high cost of premiums. they have to bounce it all while not destabilizing the insurance market. i think the big enough for them is to not get into the trap of rolling back the coverage. if they end up with a plan that leads to many millions more people not having health insurance they could really end up in a political cul-de-sac for which it would be hard to extract themselves. they got the ball rolling within hours of being sworn in with an executive order directing government agencies to reevaluate provisions of the law they think are too costly. for

i don't know any doctors who take obama care. i was talking to a dr. the other day who assayed what we can do about these people who had it. we don't take it. it's interesting. if you call that the affordable care act majority of the country is supportive of it. it tells you how political it is. secondly i agree with steve. there are 20 million people uninsured that are now insured. the pre-existing conditions are incredibly important for this country. the medical benefits of lifetime benefits a lifetime benefits everybody is pretty much supportive on that. the prescription drug affect it has by covering the donut hole. i would agree with c. we should be integrating the affordable care act and making sure it seems illogical. the only thing i would say is the eight years of bush. it was 80%. the eight years of obama inflation was 30%. we kw that the inflation rates improving but it's nowhere near where we need to be. we need to lower costs and an absolute term. i think there are things that could be done. and pretty much aligned with most of what steve s

another problem for them is that the obama care is based on exchanges, and that really was a republican idea originally. to the extent they ever had an idea that involved universal health care, it was the exchanges. the other things they talk about, like selling across state lines or health savings accounts, that helps around the margins, but they won't deal a lot with the number of uninsured that obama has gotten on the roles. >> just i think what they are trying to do process-wise when they say they want to do it simultaneously is to pass the law that says repeal but not to have that go into effect. the repeal doesn't go into effect until the replace takes place. that's what they're trying to do. whether they can do it, who knows? the other thing is just to add to what these guys said, what rahm emanuel, who was then barack obama's chief of staff said as they were really shoving obama care through trying to get all the democrats on board back at the beginning of the obama -- in the beginning of the obama years was when americans have a benefit, it is going to be very hard to take it a

is there anything democrats, your colleagues, can do to stop a repeal of obama care? >> i talked to republicans and democrats today to get a feel for what was happening. republicans really said we wanted the news story to be about repealing the affordable care act. i said that's fine. i know that was your desire, it got eclipsed by the dismantling with ethics which you then took back but what are you going to repeal it with? there are no answers. they have no replacement. this is going to tell the american people the difference between cheap sound bytes in a campaign, we are going to repeal obama care and the substan o governing. >> they have the votes to repeal it, to be fair. >> no, it's going to beea. easy to repeal it. virtually impossible to replace it, which is why they are so divided they are having a debate in the republican caucus as to what do we replace it with. some want to repeal and it replace it instantly but don't have anything to replace it with. others arities let's treat it as an off ramp, let's repeal it and at some point ereplace it with something.

that is the case with obama care.oted through the senate with 60 votes and then a majority in the house signed by president obama and actually after republicansts picked up a vacant senate seat in massachusetts causing democratic colleagues to use the budget reconciliation process to pass it. but we know the broken promises of obama care and we will revisit those more in coming days. t higher premiums with less coverage many lost their insurance after being promised if you like what you have you can keep it. we know many folks no longer have access to the dr. health t plan of their choice because they either quit accepting that insurance for retired or health plans that pulled up stakes because they can't compete under the provisions of obama care. faile i believe the verdict of the american people has been the obama care has failed the american people. at asser democratic colleagues to look at the fact that the pastor originally was 60 votes another at 48. we've all been in the majority and minority you been around h

especially if they started to dismantle the legacy like obama care. >> if you consider the history, not just in the 2016 campaign, go back again when donald trump who is now obsessed with people delegitimizing him, he spent time trying to delegitimizing obama. they're going to hand over the white house two weeks from today to donald and melania trump. what is she thinking about? what is she going through? it must be interesting as you are packing up the kids, yeah, big farewell address from the president next tuesday night in chicago. cnn will have special coverage of that day. a very interesting week ahead. we're not done with this one yet. when we come back, donald trump once again up early. two weeks from today, he becomes president of the united states. wh tax cuts, immigration, arnold schwarzenegger? >> wanted to give i awe look there. the dow now four points away from making history. the 20,000 milestone. plus 96 points on the day. frustrating. almost 97. breathe for a second and see if it gets there. 97. look at that. now do they push it up or pull it down? >> come on. come on. >

obama care will fall of its own weight. be careful. trump has said his own conversations with president obama have convinced him to keep two of the conditions. >> are you going to keep people with pre-existing conditions? >> yes. >> more than 20 million people covered by obama care are left wondering what comes next. >> that was mary bruce reporting. over 5 million californians have insurance as a result of the affordable care act. leah melendez with the likely impact. >> roughly 25% of all americans covered under the affordable care act live in california. under covered california health plans, those who can't afford health insurance, have benefited the most. more than one million consumers receive subsidies to help pay their premiums. gabrielle is one of them. she will pay $78 a month for health insurance. >> it does help me. especially with the other payments i do have to deal with. >> if the affordable care act is repealed, she won't be able to afford a more costly health plan. california would not be able to subsidize consumers und

as much as i'm for affordable child care -- or health care, i don't think obama care is hitting the mark. for example, college age children that are healthy are required to obtain or health care, excuse me, but they don't have the money to pay for it. so what can congress do to help them get affordable health care or opt out of it for those who cannot afford it? >> what's happening more and more these days because obamacare is so expensive are healthy people aren't buying it and are going without insurance. the part of the law that's counterproductive in this way is you can wait until you get sick and get the insurance without a penalty and that's why they had this convas a rule luted system thank collapsing. the refundable tax credits for people to buy affordable coverage. by giving a person a refundable tax credit, a young person, maybe a person in college who maybe didn't stay on their parents' plan or just getting started in work that doesn't have much of a tax liability. when i say refundable. you get the tax credit regardless whether you have an income tax liability or not. today t

obama's legacy. they want to eliminate the affordable care act, a.k.a. obama care. more on that in a moment. right now at this hour, house speaker paul ryan is meeting with members of the new 115th members of congress for a photo op. they were sworn in minutes ago after ryan won a second term of the house. and joe biden welcomed in new members of the senate. the first time the republicans controlled the house and the senate since 2006. and it will be dramatic as you might imagine. with democrats digging in to fight the gop's conservative be agenda. president obama is set to meet tomorrow with democrats on capitol hill to lay out a plan to save his signature healthcare law. vice president-elect mike pence is scheduled to meet with republicans to talk about their agenda. donald trump said this on twitter. "people must remember that obama care doesn't work and it's not affordable. 116% increases. his example is arizona. bill clinton called it crazy. then he kinds of lit a fire under house republicans after they voted late last night to weaken the house's official office of congressional ethics.

if hillary clinton have been been elected we would be revisiting obama care. if chuck schumer were the majority leader we would be revisiting obama care. the status quo is not acceptable. >> i'm sure you'd be concerned if there are 3 - 5000000 people voting for the democrat illegally. >> the house and senate republics

john: obama care covers much more. no one even talks price. individual says i think i ought to have this test. what is wrong with paying for birth control? >> it is not an emergency. it is treated, different diseases. before the affordable care act, 80 percent more and healthcare payments and mended. they go to the dr. more often. do you pay more for a car insurance on a woman? >> as a young person who drives a sports car do. john: all men do, and you pay more for life insurance. will end up using the healthcare system in this country the.is that government smothers us. i don't think government is small or big but the need to be effective. >> airplanes that we don't need. government spying. >> proceed. >> a couple from idaho persuaded the court to approve a lawsuit against president obama and the nsa for acting like a jealous boyfriend. >> always buying on that lady? >> no, i i laugh, i sneeze... there goes my sensitive bladder. sound familiar? then you'll love this. incredible protection in a pad this thin. i didn't think it would work, but i

at the top, rolling back obama care.he swearing ins set to begin in just about 90 minutes from now. in south carolina, a judge ruled dylan roof is competent to represent himself and gave him an extra day to get ready for the case. he said he plans on calling no witnesses and presenting no evidence. he was found guilty last month of killing nine black church-goers last year. >> deadly storms sweeping through the south. at least a dozen tornadoes touched down as the storm system moved through yesterday. a single tornado now being blamed for killing four people in alabama. bad thunderstorms are also leaving a trail of destruction all across the southeast. >> we started to run for cover in the back of the shop and before we could get back there, the window came in and we seen the awning flip up. >> the weather channel's mike seidel is in rehoboth, arizona. how common is it to see tornadoes in january? >> good morning, halle. tornadoes are unusual in january, especially an outbreak. yesterday reported 12 twisters touching dow

now, what we know is that donald trump's plans for obama care and the republican plans to replace obama care may not be really united at this point. that's because donald trump gave a weekend interview to the washington post in which he said that he wants to try to insure everybody with health insurance, with his obama care plan. i have talked to several top republicans who are not sure what that means. they have not seen any details of a trump plan, and they're going forward with their own approach, a piece by piece approach to try to replace elements of the law and they want to focus on actually reducing costs. not so much expanding coverage. this is part of an effort today mike pence to get on the same page with his own party on the key issue, wolf. >> very interesting. manu, the latest round of senate confirmation hearings gets underway next hour. what should we expect? >> well, probably some fireworks in the evening session. that's what betsy devoss, the education department secretary nominee. she's someone that senate democrats have targeted as part of their effort to try to stop

because, the passing of obama care even the, the saving $2,500, that was compared to what would happen without it. so we have had high health care inflation for many decades. and actually health care inflation has been at about the lowest rate that we have seen in all most a half century. the problem was once you do something on health care, then you on it. that's been, barack obama's problem. once the republicans do anything to obama care, repeal it, change it, whatever, suddenly every problem that everyone has with the health system becomes the republican's fault instead of obama's fault that's not going to be a fun place to be. >> austin, i understand the argument, inflation, actually not growing as much as in flaegs was projected to grow. i get that academic argument. reality its what van was saying, about how americans feel. how americans feel is they have seen the dollar, the price on their premiums go up. they see they're not getting much in return. high deductibles. one third of american counties only have access to one obama care plan. this was a plan sold to us on the bill it

>> the repeal and replace obama care, this has been the republican party's rallying cry ever since obama care became law in 2010, and essentially that moment has finally come and that is because the republican party is about to control the house and the senate as well as the white house, but it is hard to sort of overstate how extremely complicated and messy this political battle is about to be and to walk through just what we're going to see happen on capitol hill this week. lawmakers return to congress tomorrow, and essentially republicans are going to get started right away to put the wheels in motion, to repeal major parts of obama care. they are going to do this through a budget reconciliation process, which is essentially a fast track process. now, here's why repeal and replace is actually very misleading. republicans are not actually going to propose a plan right away to replace obama care. they're actually just doing the repeal if they do what we expect them to do and what has been, you know, discussed by republican leader so far. away that means is that the replace would not act

will also end his black lung benefits. >> when they eliminate the obama care, they may just eliminate of the black lung program. it may all be gone. don't matter how many years you got. >> reporter: three sentences in the affordable care act made it easier for black lung sufferers to get benefits if they worked 15 years in the industry. >> i will be drawing $642.42. >> reporter: once a monday? >> once a month. >> reporter: patty just got her first payment. her husband crawford after 32 years in the mines, died in 2007. >> to see it in somebody you lived with 45 years go from a vibrant man to a child is very hard. >> reporter: getting the payment can also be difficult, even with the law it took her three years. how her black lung widow benefit along with social security and a tiny $62 a month pension keeps her financially afloat: so this money is important to you? >> absolutely. absolutely. it's not a large amount. but it's enough to pay the bills. >> reporter: keeping up with the bills here for many a lifetime struggle. so trump's full-throated promise of jobs was a powerful message.

it is called the affordable care act. >> that's the same thing as obama care.if you repeal it, 20 million people will lose their health insurance. people could die. >> listen, sweetheart. i'm about to be president. we are all going to die. >> bringing in cnn politics reporter, eugene scott and tom lobianco. i wanted to ask you, do we have any indication what is in this plan, this replacement plan that we are talking about. medicaid, i know, is at the crux of this and people that do have obama care are most concerned about what would happen if it helps them thus far. >> we don't know. that's the key point. we haven't seen them playing from the white house. granted, they have only been there 24 hours. >> certainly, they have been working on a replacement. ryan was talking about it a couple weeks ago. >> what's interesting, i talked about senators on the hill, trying to get an idea. do we at least have some broad strokes here. are we talking about block grants for medicaid, for instance. is that one of the moptions the are looking at? >> they don't know. they have

he has actual ideas how to repeal and replace obama care. we'll see if the president-elect agrees with him or if congress agrees with him. this is a tough road. kellyanne conway, lowering expectations for the speediness of this process. >> we talked about the different factions within the republican party. there are other factions too, including more idealogical factions. drr a lot of groups that are moored and want to see obama care repealed and replaced. they passed something similar to medicaid expansion. in fact, it was pretty much the same thing. they just called it something different. i think it was hoosier cares in indiana. if the answer to repeeling and replacing the aca is something that looks 98% like the aa, is that enough for the conservative idealogical groups that are still involved. >> it has been the affordable care act or obama care, call it what you will, that's been a weapon for the republicans for years now. the house democratic leader nancy pelosi saying yesterday you break it, you own it. this will become the republica

especially issue like obama care. s an issue that just he did, tex tended health care for 20 more people. it's not just about him and house of representatives he goes on the history books. it's about, you are know, preserving something that has helped so many millions of people. >> on that topic i want to play a little bit of wa incoming press secretary sean spicer said. >> on day one he's going to sign a series of executive orders to do two things. one is to repeal a lot of regulations and actions that have hampered economic growth and john creation and secondly, do the same on a forward thinking thing. he's going to start implementing thing and bring a new brand to washington. >> so the question might be here as we he does get rid of many of the issues that administration has in terms of executive orders, what will dronald trump replace it with? does he have the wherewithal, does question has been does he have the right troops, the other 3,000, or 4,000 individuals below that can implement what sean spicer said he's

they are split on what should replace obama care.sure. this is the president going to capitol hill. remember, he‘s been talking to donald trump a lot on the phone about this. we know he has suggested about this. we know he has suggested a couple of things trump could keep in obama care. so this is the president trying to rally democrats and saving what he sees as his key achievement, 20 million people have signed up, people who didn‘t have health insurance before, and the president desperately trying to keep it. it feels like president obama is working furiously, taking out major policy decisions right up to the end. i don‘t recall george w bush or bill clinton doing that, or is my memory playing tricks on me? it isn‘t uncommon. what is uncommon here is the chasm that exists between democrats and republicans over things like the environment. donald trump says he wants to roll back all of those regulations president obama has introduced. and on affordable health care. we‘ve also seen on that question of russia‘s interference with the

law could affect people, cleve. >> reporter: ukee, even if you don't buy what people refer to as obama care insurance a full repeal of the affordable care act could impact you. right here, in new jersey, hundreds of thousands of people worst case scenario could have no insurance. >> if it as way i might not have no insurance. >> reporter: martinez says affordable care act known as obama care helped her get insurance, but polls show americans evenly split, on whether or not it should be repealed. >> right now, it works, and it works very well. a whole lot of people have health care right now. >> reporter: yes. >> obama care doesn't work but they need something to inact before they just repeal it. too many people that are, vulnerable, out there. >> reporter: health experts say obama care helped half million new jersians get insurance for the first time, because of a expanded medicaid funding and gave subsidies to many people man tait todd buy their own insurance. >> were those things to go away, without having a way to provide coverage to people, we're talking about people no longer receiving

so can the democrats save obama care or is it too late? that's next. >> president obama heading to capitol hill this week to try to protect a key part of his legacy. the white house says he will meet with house and senate democrats, dems only, on wednesday to talk about saving obama care. republican leaders say repealing the affordable care act is one of their top priorities when they get back to work tomorrow. president-elect trump says he might want to keep certain parts of the law. mike emanuel live in washington with more. hi, mike. >> democrats say keeping the popular parts, helping those with pre-existing conditions and allowing those up to age 26 to stay on their parent's plan isn't possible without some of the less popular components. this afternoon a head of the upcoming meeting with president obama, the top house democrat issued this warning to republicans. >> the fact is, it's the old thing of going into a china shop. you break it, you own it. this is -- they're dealing with something that is very -- when i say complex, it's soph

intelligence agencies, and the fight over the future of obama care. obama and vice president-elect mike pence both on capitol hill today with opposing goals. the president trying to salvage his namesake health care plan. the president-elect pushing to dismantle it. meantime, president-elect trump ridicules the u.s. intelligence communities findings on what it calls so-called russian hacking. he also appeared to give credence to claims by wiki-leaks founder

obama care, this was his signature. what can he do here now? >> this is the one silver lining for him. it's going to be harder than people think to repeal and replace obama wear. one, parts of it are very popular and, two, parts of it are embedded in places where republicans simply do not have enough votes to overturn key parts of it. so, look, are they going to gut a wide portion of his legacy? of course. is obama care going to be number one target? yes. but actually, this is something that republicans have to be very careful with. they've had seven years, they have no alternative to replace it in full detail yet. the american people don't like their health care fooled around with. there may be parts of obama care they hate but people like having health care as well and it could be something that becomes a little bit of an albatross around their neck. >> 20 million people could lose their coverage. tillman, you said to me before obama care as it is just doesn't work. but donald trump did not have repla replacement. >> it'less expensive for heal

the focus today shifted to repealing obama care. vice president-elect mike pence met with republicans to rally them for the fight. meanwhile president obama met with democrats to discuss their strategy for presenting and preserving his signature legislative achievement. joining me now from washington is bob costa of "the washington post" and carl of "the new york times." i'm pleased to have both of them on this program. is there high anticipation because we're looking at a new president? we're looking at a congress that is controlled by republicans, as to how this whole thing might unfold? >> i think everybody is a little on edge, you know, on tippy toes trying to see and figure out how this is all going to play out. obviously the republicans got off to a terrible start in the house yesterday. and the democrats liked that a lot. that was encouraging to them. they're thinking well, maybe these guys can't handle it i mean everybody, you know, it's sort of like the boxers or maneuvering sort of checking each other out. but i think that

obama care is a complete and total disaster. they can say what they want. they can guide you any way they want to guide you. in some cases they guide you incorrectly. in most cases you realize what's happened. it's imploding as we sit. some states have over 100% increase, and 17 -- i said this two years ago -- 17 is going to be the bad year. it's going to be catastrophic. frankly, we could sit back -- and it was a thought from a political standpoint, but it wouldn't be fair to the people. we could sit back and wait and watch and criticize, and we could be a chuck schumer and sit back and criticize it and people would come -- they would come begging to us, please, we have to do something about obama care. we don't want to own it. we don't want to own it politically. they own it right now. the easiest thing would be to let it implode in 17 and, believe me, we get pretty much whatever we wanted, but it would take a long time. we're going to be submitting as soon as our secretary is approved, almost simultaneously, shortly thereafter, a plan. it will be repeal

and fundamentally believes obama care is broken.g out how to do the former and do the latter is about the hardest thing you could possibly do at this point. >> and don, it's just worth pointing out that his new secretary of house human services, congressman price over the last couple of days of testimony on capitol hill refused to make the same promise that president trump made tonight again about covering people and not letting people be thrown off the roles. that's because congressman price knows more about the policies and how hard it is to keep that promise than president trump knows, and so there will be an ongoing conflict here. they're not going to be to help -- >> i have to get to the break. i'm going to talk to you guys about how he's comparing a major american city to afghanistan. we'll be right back. oh, look! we've got fees ew, really? oh, it's our verizon bill look at them. line access fee, administrative fees, there are even taxes on top of them. decent people shouldn't have to live like this did i get it? t-mobile end

do the republicans have a plan to replace obama care? >> yes. they have lots of plans to replace obama care, and they have to streamline it. more importantly, they have to figure out, you know, as manu was saying, right now there's a debate among republicans about the process, about when it's going to happen, how quickly can it happen, and that's a vigorous debate because it's about, you know, the promises that these members feel they made to their constituents. at the same time it's how quickly should it happen given another promise that they made to their constituents that people are not going to be left in the lurch without health care. that is what -- the thing that

but he's got a lot to address, including whether or not they are going to tackle obama care on day one as promised because this is day one for the 115th congress. or whether or not they have got another option. he is also surely going to talk about tax cuts. something he has been trying to get done for some time. another promise that the republicans have made about coming into office and dealing with almost immediately. but there is tension between the house gop and the president-elect. he didn't like what they were doing on that ethics operation. so we are going to talk about that, too. before we hear from house speaker paul ryan as heoves to the front, nbc's halle jackson is where the action is. she has been at capitol hill all day. and here to help us make sense of it, steve kornacki. halle, let's start with you. speaker ryan about to make his address. it's not quite the triumphant return he was expecting. headlines eviscerating his party and his leadership today, now the house is backing off after a tweet from donald trump about the ethics move that they made. wh's going on? >> rep

things look good on obama care. that is a good thing because the first 100 days are going to be critical. the flipside of that is the use of executive orders by donald trump to counteract this. i know there is a big wish list. how do you see this playing out. on the one hand we were given that. this is the best way to neutralize a lot of these rules that have been put in to place. the one thing that we use in the last it's time for the congress to have a win. it helps if you try to fight back. the rumble over obama care is turning out to an all out war. we will discuss it next. ...why ? enter sleep number and the lowest prices of the season. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. she likes the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow! only at a sleep number store, right now, the best buy rated c2 mattress is only $699.99 learn more at sleepnumber.com know better sleep with sleep number. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use

joins us frequently, this is on the obama care matter.sh, the easy part just got done. >> the easy party is done. the hard part starts now which is figuring out how to replace it. what we've seen the last week or so, the growing realization by republicans of just how politically tenuous it is to be taking healthcare away from people or to be leaving the markets with uncertainty about what will happen until they settled on a replacement. obamacare took more than a year to draft. took all kinds of political wrangling. barely got through. because this stuff is really hard. it's particularly hard to find ways to pay for the popular parts that republicans want to preserve, such as keeping your children on your insurance until you're 26. coverage of the pre-existing conditions. unless you do some of the other things that republicans don't want to preserve like mandating that everybody in the country has insurance. so republicans after initially wanting to have a few years where they would wait before they replace this have moved to the idea of

americans hate obama care, but they like the affordable care act. there's many aspects of this law that are very popular. allowing young people to stay on their parent's healthcare until 26. coverage of pre-existing conditions. no cost coverage for preventative care. people don't want to lose that. the medicaid expansion. democrats want to hold the republicans responsible if they strip this law altogether without a replacement in place. it could destabilize the marshals, we could see health costs shoot up even more or access become even more scarce. >> i don't know about that. but i know the republicans have an issue internally right now. that is there's a crowd that says i don't want to fund what you republicans want to do. so they're going to have to work that out. pushing them along that way will be apparently donald trump who says that he believes for existing conditions, people under 26 and all those things that help people that need help, that all of those ought to stay there but he has to get them funded. he doesn't have a rubber stamp on the
