health care in a america must be a right, not a privilege. we begin the long and difficult struggle to end the international disgrace of the united states, our great nation, being the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all of our people. as proud americans, our job is to lead the world on health care, not to be woefully behind every other major country. today we begin the debate vital to the future of our economy as to why it is that in the united states we spend almost twice as much per capital on health care as any other nation on earth and yet we have 28 million people without any health insurance and even more who are underinsured with high deductibles and co-payments. as a result of the incredible waste, bureaucracy and profit tearing in our dysfunctional health care system we are now spending nearly 18% of our gdp on health care, $10,000 per person incredibly. if we continue the status quo, we will spend an estimated $49 trillion over the next decade on health care. that is economically unsustainable for our country. today we say the function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all in

italy, if they canry poor, provide universal health care for all of their citizens, why don't these brain-dead americans demand, why as a citizen of the unitedtates, can't we have health care for all of our citizens? all of the stories about how we are going broke is a republican line. the government can borrow all the money they want at historically low rates. lies and a lot of people are too stupid to separate the facts from fiction. host: what do you think the fix should be? universal -- single-payer? caller: i would like a single-payer but i am also realistic. i do not deal in hyperbole. if you have a leak in your bathroom, you do not tear the house down, you fix the leak. obamacare is not perfect but provides things you did not have before, namely, preventive care. if you are a woman or a man, you can go to the doctor, was not subject to co-pay or deductibles. of obamacareantage , it provided health insurance for millions of people that could not afford it before with subsidies. it may not be perfect, it needs -- you have a leak in your about the, you do not tear the house down, you fix the leak. the recalled -- the problem with the rep

lawmakers, meanwhile, coming together to come up with a tax rate mark after repeated failures to unite behind health careical about the road ahead for tax reform. kevin mccarthy brushed by doubts earlier. x you will see the first phase start next week. if you have a question about whether this will be done next year, start looking next week when we moved the budget. article one, section seven, says all tax reform starts in the house. ways and ahat movement on the markup to move the bill out of the floor in congress this year. innie: for more, let's bring the republican congresswoman from tennessee, who happens to be the house budget committee chair. there.lack, you heard it it has been shunted aside to allow for tax reform. how do you feel about that? representative black: it's the golden key to unlocking tax reform, we will get reconciliation on that and i'm excited that we are moving forward, i'm ready for tax reform. your hopes forre the budget that may now have to be damped down a little bit to be -- in order to have success on tax reform? rep. black: we all knew that when we did the budget we were i

health expenses. right now there are lots of payers in the united states health care system -- insurance companies, theederal government and states and so on. medicare for all, not quite. hand's more of the slogan than reality as his plan would greatly expand medicare and overhaul it. for example, it would greatly expand the tub of coverage offered. also, eliminate deductibles and co-pays and premium. private insurance companies are part of the medicare system. that would not be the case under sanders plan. sanders plan would also extend insurance to all americans immediately rather than -- rather it would not extend insurance to all americans meekly. it would do it over four years. the h would move to 55 and that would move to 45 and 35. and so finally in the fourth year, everyone would be covered. it covers all sorts of things. the proposal is generous that goes well beyond what medicare covers and even well beyond what people's plans would cover pretty recover dental and vision care which are not covered by medicare. let's go to alex in frederick, maryland. you support this idea of single-payer. goo

health care delivery. that's one of the best near-term things we can do to improve health insurance cost within the united states. buckets two big driving healthcare cost. are health issues diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, smoking, etcetera. unfortunately, these things take decades before they express health care cost and sxhelth wellness efforts to may not be oblems, judged success or failure for a decade. that leaves us with the actual of health care delivery. have quite expensive to lots of little gimmicks, lots of hospitals, each one fully one outfitted with medical equipment. ne thing we have not done well in america, taking a look at how etter leveraged health care delivery, like telemedicine and how do we break down walls and out of e if someone is state and certified doctor services, that there is, you know, cross statability to be able to access cost care. it will not address all healthcare scenarios, but one we'd be able to start bending the cost curve in a meaningful way in my opinion. host: we have a special line for those getting insurance through the affordable care act marketplace.

also, the end of what i regard as being -- you have been following this -- health care reform has left it so that -- united health care, raise numbers, raise numbers the insurance, the idea that the insurance companies are going to write the checks you thought from the federal government, that is very important they weren't wiped out other than a small one that was talked about that could be in the papers i think there was this combination, worldwide growth, weaker dollar, back to treasuries being seller. end of the flight to quality hot money going back into stocks very big rally over in europe. a sense of when we see these numbers, we're going to be surprised, except for some domestic i also heard -- the auto cycle that the bear has been hanging on to may not be correct because of harvey. peak housing because of florida. we don't know in florida i can't wait to talk to carl we don't know about the keys i remember when marathon -- when they -- in the hurricane you couldn't find them no one seems to find them now. >> speaking of hurricane irma, let's get to carl actually it's a tropical depression as it pu

health care? mark: any legislation has to hit the four p's. priority, politics, process. the republicans were not unitedn health care. they did not have agreement on the policy. politics were very difficult. and the process did not work well. they came out with a leadership-led plan and try to sell it to the committees and got rejected and then they were touching up the rest of the year. i think that is a lesson learned. when it comes to tax reform they are operating differently. they are starting with, working with the house and senate, working with all the republicans on a unified plan, and then bringing it through committees instead of having it come from down -- come down from on high. julia: what should be included? you have to separate the signal from the noise. the business community is united by lower rates, competitive rates, and a competitive international system. which means moving toward a territorial system to get that $2.6 trillion back into the united states. it has got to be fiscally responsible. we know it has to meet the budget window from the process standpoint. but you can't lose sig

president, i think it's clear to people all across america that the united states health care system needs reform. premiums for health insurance are going up by double digits across the country. people living in almost half of the country only have one company selling obamacare plans. millions of people are struggling. they are struggling to get coverage that they can afford and so that they can get the care that they need. mr. president, i will tell you it is all because the health care law the democrats wrote and democrats passed in congress and inflicted upon the american people have raised the costs for people all across the country and limited their choices. so today the senator from vermont, senator sanders, and other democrats said they want to take this failing health care system even further. they call their plan medicare for all. don't be fooled. they want to take a plan that has had government much, much more involved with the health care of the american people and go much further. i believe it's not actually a serious plan to fix the health care problems in this country,

is not on top of it's instead of but it's instead of instead of cycling your money through united health care so they can skim twenty percent off the top and give stephen j. hemsley another billion dollars he's already taken over a billion dollars in compensation this one c.e.o. of this one health insurance company if i never gave one damn vaccination on child welfare dark and with regard to defense like i said i think you can argue that you know that there is fraud there is waste and that it needs to be be found out but at the same time we can go to form the other direction and swing the pendulum to where do we not need the military but then we'd be strong on the military if we had these accidental threats so i think there's a fine balance to be struck there and like i said i think it starts with audit and not just the defense department but all of government spending it's always corrupt there's always more money going out the back door than there is coming in so it shouldn't be the military across the board let's look at everything was whatever you have generalize like that you know always

>> certainly, the reliance on employer-provided health care in the united states is fairly unique in nsurer providing our health care. we should note it's another layer of our employers pay us, that we get our pay from our employers often in the form of cash compensation and fringe benefits like health insurance. the united states is unique -- go ahead. >> why don't we hear more comparison to switzerland? why is it always a canadian and british? is it because of our relationship, our proximity to canada? i just am wondering in the c context of the debate right now playing itself out in washington, i don't hear anybody, republican or democrat, say, you know, they have a pretty good idea and plan in switzerland. >> yeah, that could be a testament to the low level of the sort of intellectual nature of the debate about health care in washington first. there is a general familiarity with england and canada among the american population. england also represents sort of the far extreme if you think about it in the sense that the government owns all of the hospitals, they own the facilities t

health care. in a nation that has the best military -- spending more money than the next nine countries combined, we should be able to say in the united states of america that we can make sure that every child born in our nation is born with quality health care. we should have a nation where senior citizens don't fear that they won't be able to afford a nursing home. we should have a nation where if someone has a conditional or an illness that their only access to a doctor is not an emergency room, we should note that someone who has to look for their country that when their family members and cousins and neighbors are here, we should be standing for them as well. in this more moment in our nation we have to remember that the dissemination of this moment will be decided by the people. the power of the people is greater than the people in power. it is time we live up to our creed and become a nation that therms life and liberty and pursuit of happiness for everyone in our nation and you cannot have life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness if you do not have health care. it is time that we live up to the oath that we all say we put

health care, yeah. no, it is absolutely true. we moved back to the united states briefly when i was a child. ather did not want to work in the american health-care system, did not want to work in a system where you had to be rich to get sick and was part of that process of building up this system -- which is under attack in canada. which is not perfect, but remains a model. there's a great deal of misinformation about the canadian system within the united states, and spread very deliberately. funding ande protection, but at its core, it is incredibly simple. i was glad to see daniel martin standing with bernie sanders, who is one of the great defenders of the public health care system in canada making the argument what we need to do is find it better, expand it in canada, but this is fundamentally -- i've had catastrophic illness in my family and it is an amazing thing to have summit in hospital for two years and get a bill for $25 for what cable television cost or something like that. amy: him to turn to hillary clinton on cbs with lesley stahl after the release of her book "what happened."

health care for all. finland has a lower infant mortality rate, better maternity care than the united states, highly cost-effectivelth care. can you talk about how finland implements health care, ensuring the health -- >> i cannot do it briefly, but i will say at harvard university in boston at a time when obamacare was passed, at the time of the previous president. it was so difficult thinking -- it was important reform, but compared to the nonexistence, and even with minority countries, [indiscernible] it is for a modest. i think one of the issues is, if you can, the coverage of the public health service for all people. the factenefit also that you do it for all and you don't -- and the financing system is important. i think one of the problems in the usa is that the financing system of the health care, that you have so many actors. to put this together is very difficult. alsonly health care, but other public services, would well-being. in the long run, they will save money, of course. welcome torybody is come and see the nordic system. there are differences between the countries, but we are well-known for we ma

country on earth it is regarded as a right the system is different and to provide health care to all people so tell me why the united states of america cannot do the same. [applause] so it isn't the only universal care. with the health care system far in the way the most expensive health care system in the world. what are we spending twice as much as canada? wiry spending today over $10,000 per person on health care? the answer is it is not designed to provide quality care to all people in a cost-effective way. it should be health care for all or quality care the function of the american health care system to guarantee enormous profits in the insurance companies. [applause] two years ago the five major drug companies in america made a $50 billion in profit because we're the only country on earth that does not negotiate with the pharmaceutical industry in terms of the prices they charge per ago today you can walk into your pharmacist to see the price of medicine has doubled or tripled. and that is as much as it will bear we see those prices doubling and tripling. with the highest prices in the world for prescription
