we begin with senators rand paul and susan collins from abc's this week program. we will also hear from ron johnson, pat toomey, and john barrasso. repeal, and100% that's what i want. i might vote for 80% reveal. the obamacare subsidies are greater under the republican bill than the current obamacare law. that's not anywhere close to repeal. >> so you are a no. if we go to a bill that is more repeal and less big government programs, yes, i will consider partial repeal. that means fewer subsidies. obamacare made it illegal to buy inexpensive insurance. if i was a 27-year-old guy and don't want pregnancy coverage, i cannot by and inexpensive coverage. they've priced me out of the marketplace and therefore i don't buy it at all. all that remains under this -- i'm not voting for something that looks just like obamacare and still does not fix the fund little flaw of obamacare. >> let me say it makes absolutely no sense to eliminate federal funding for planned parenthood. there are already long-standing restrictions for abortions. that's not what this debate is about. planned parenthood is an important provid

ted collins has been talking with people out there who know the driver and the vehicle and he's live at the scene. pat. >> reporter: leon, this is where the man in the median was standing when he was struck this morning. but when it was over, when it was over, he ended up over there, across the intersection, across four lanes of traffic, against the fence, behind the tree with the broken limbs. people who knew him at the scene where it he was known as the man on the median. they saw his belongings scattered about. his shoes, his backpack. police have identified him as 64-year-old richard lee cooper of an unconfirmed address. people in the neighborhood say it was a friendly panhandler that this is the median strip he worked just about every day. elizabeth park san, she remembered. >> tragedy. >> what are you going to remember most about it? >> like i said, he's saying thank you and god bless. >> also, at the scene today, felix, he was on his way to work when he saw this terrible accident and then realized his mom was behind the wheel of that toyota >> and then you pulled her from the car. >> yes. >> >>

. >> pat and leon, i want to read you a couple more tweets for some more senators, keep having to try and weigh on the health care bill, one of them, senator collin twe got to stop. we also have a job. we don't have to get along we'll respect it. and this from senator lisa saying, stop it. the presidential platform should be used for more than bringing people down. in addition to that, we've had members of his own party calling to apologize for his tweets. the white house saying that this is a president when punch, punches back. he's justified in doing it because he felt attacked. >> blayne alexander, thank you. >>> we're asking you if you feel the tweet crossed the line. so far, about 90% of you say yes. >>> national mall gearing up for big crowds for the fourth of july. park service gave us an update on what you need to know. hey, derrick, what's the word? >> hey, leon, you know, been downtown any time recently, you know there are things that are going into place. you tend to see some of the fencing back here. that is part of the preparation, that's what you see. there is some stuff going up that you can't see. of course, if you go over to the

mike lee, ted cruz, pat toomey of pennsylvania, against more moderate senators, they come from rural states, states in lower income, states that have expanded medicaid, susan collins, lisa murkowski, folks -- dean heller up for re-election, coming up in 2018, and they really are trying to get this balance of when do these cut s to the medicaid expansion come in to play, are they phased out over the course of two years, four years, six years, longer term horizon and a key issue to watch, might be a side issue, but it is becoming central to the negotiations and that's money to help people who are fighting opioid addiction. there are a lot of people on medicaid who get their treatment for opioid addiction that way. many of these states very, very hard hit, this is something senator portman of ohio talked a lot about. and it is something that could potentially derail these negotiations. but that i think is a piece to really pay attention to here, andrea. >> and mitch mcconnell and you -- mitch mcconnell was trying to say they are being open about all this. i want to play a little bit of your exchange with him, casey. >> how long will the american public have to read t

collins, it's lisa murkowski. those are the senators sitting next to him the other day. here's patoomey trying to work very hard on health care. he is saying what the president is doing starts to undermine the president's ability to get his agenda done. he's getting in the way of his own agenda. >> george, all those senators ran on repealing and replacing obamacare and voted on doing it when we had president. all that's changed in the last couple of years since those senators voted to do away with them is that we have a republican president that can actually sign reform into law and need to do what they feel is best. we're confident that health care will get passed this summer and then followed by tax reform and let me just say something else, as you showed a clip of me talking as a mother of four. i've been attacked. if you say you want your children treated the way kellyanne was treated, i'll listen to you but i don't fight -- i don't respond in kind because i'm here as a public servant trying to help people and i swallowed a lot of bile over the time because i don't want it to b

if you're pat toomey and get what you want and make sure it doesn't expand as much as it does under the aca. if you're senator portman you get the opioid. if you're senator collins you get abortion coverage. it's not hard line conservative and you get what you want on medicaid. there's a belief because trump's not guiding this process from the white house it's mcconnell, mcconnell at the fore that can cut a deal with him to make this get over the line. >> do you think that might be happening? >> i think mcconnell is -- leader mcconnell is a transactional politician. the president recognizes that and he's let mcconnell take control of this process because he knows whatever happens out of the senate, that's going to have to be forced upon the house if this has any chance of approval. >> chris, the democrats -- >> i have a feeling trump doesn't mind this thing dieing. i think he doesn't mind going to plan b, which is the health care bill we have now, obamacare will have -- whatever weaknesses they have he'll work on those. he'll watch the system deteriorate, weaken, die in some place through lack of insurers. he'll say, it's the democrats. >> he can get away with i
