by sarah kliff of the website vox. us for this discussion from the "washington reporter louise radnofsky. ms. radnofsky, you didn't write story. your colleague say there's a planned vote on healthcare. especially on the senate side next week. could you give a sense of the white house's role and what they happen if it does happen? the texte time line, is expected this week. cbo score early next week and a thursday.y a vote on the white house said is it is it has the 50 votes. they'll have a firmer sense by end of the week. confident things are direction.the right host: sarah clif kliff of that confidence. ony want to take a gamble this voting. guest: we seen the house a vote back ins march. they are getting ready. paul ryan saying there will be a a dramatic move. they realized, they didn't have the votes and didn't want to put a bill only to fail. i think we will -- it is still see an whether we could similar scenario play out in the senate. things feel very unknown because we haven't seen the bill passed. things from t

sarah kliff, do you think that's a fair description?think it is certainly the biggest rollback we would have seen in modern political history of health care benefits. one thing that has been surprising about the debate, one of the reasons it has been such a struggle for republicans, is that you don't typically see benefit programs taken away once enacted. it is easier to talk about hypothetical benefits and not pass a law than it is to pass a law that takes something away. it's something like the ahca were to pass, it would be a somewhat unprecedented piece of legislation. you would have an estimated fortune mode people -- 14 million people losing coverage, ending medicaid expansion, and changing medicaid financing. that would be pretty big and would really transform the program. right now the way medicaid works is that the federal government essentially has an open-ended commitment to funding the program, that they would pay a certain percentage of every enrollee's bills. under the house passed bills, everyone would get a lump sum, thi

bring in analyst ron brownstein and michael shear and senior policy correspondent from fox media sarah kliff. ron brownstein, do you think there's a vote, do you think they can pass it as soon as this or next week? >> you never make money betting against mitch mcconnell. this is very difficult because i think they're pullishing to the absolute maximum the two coalitions. on one hand you have a bill with a trillion dollars in tax cuts, 60% of which goes to the top 10%, the high earners who are the core of their financial coalition. on the other hand, you have a republican voter base that is increasingly centered on blue collar and older whites. if you look at the interactive map that the keiser family foundation has put up about what this will do to premiums in some of the blue collar counties around the country, you're talking about premiums doubling for 6 o-year-olds at modest income. that's before you can get to the cuts. and also states struggling with the opioid epidemic, they are pushing to the max and it's unclear to me whether they can get there -- i talked to a democratic senator las
