that just means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. we're going to fix the rest of the tax code. reporter: does this portend other bad things? mr. ryan: i don't think so. i do not think it is prologue brother future things because members realize there are parts of our agenda where people have more agreement. we have more agreement on the need and nature of tax reform, on -- funding the government, rebuilding the military, securing the border. this issue had a big difference of opinion, not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare but just how we should replace it. and that is the growing pains of governing. we were a 110-year opposition party. where being against things was easy to do. you just had to be against it. now in three months' time we try to go to a governing party where we actually have to get 216 people to agree with each other on how we do things. we just weren't quite there today. we will get there, but we were not there today. reporter: are you going to move ahead with stage two and three legislation? also, you ca

that means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. we're going to fix the rest of the tax code. >> does this -- reporter: does this portend other bad things? mr. ryan: i don't think so. there are parts of our agenda where people have more agreement. we have more agreement on the need and nature of tax reform, on fund thinking government, on rebuilding the military, on securing the border this issue had a big difference of opinion, not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare but just how we should replace it. and that is the growing pains of governing. we were a 110-year opposition party. where being against things was easy to do. you just had to be against it. now in three months' time we try to go to a governing party where we actually have to get 216 people to agree with each other on how we do thing. we just weren't quite there today. we will get there but we current there today. reporter: are you going to move ead with stage two and three legislation? also, you can just talk about how the conference is feeling right now. mr

about repealing obamacare. someone named common sense, i think i'm going to take that name, tweets this for republican leaders. what have you been doing since it was passed back in 2010, and two, why weren't you ready to go on day one for president trump? >> one problem is that the democrats have been slow-walking a lot of the nominees. he hasn't had a lot of time to work with his team in place. now that he does have his team in place, they are moving on. conservatives have to decide whether they will do what is achievable and pragmatic care, or whether they will make the perfect enemy of the good here. the reality here is that a lot of the stuff in this bill, paul ryan doesn't like. he doesn't like the medicaid expansion, he doesn't like giving tax credits or tax deductions. if you were building a system from scratch, they wouldn't be in there. but he's not building it from scratch, he's building a system from obamacare. he wants to move gradually, pragmatically, a way this can get through both chambers of con

obamacare is a disaster. we are down. we learned that the fbi is investigating trump campaign operatives for potential ties to russia. here's my belief. it goes wherever it goes. no politicians can stand in the way. we should let the fbi do their job and what happens happens. >> cnn's polo sandoval is covering that for us. a lot of questions today and seemingly handling it well. he's comfortable in that setting. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. at no point losing control of this as he took questions for about an hour and a half, wrapping up in the last few minutes. that question about, of course, russian involvement in the election was, of course, something that he did talk about and also, one of the ones that prompted one of the largest responses from the audience is one of the last ones, some of the audience members calling into question senator graham's vote on some of president trump's nominee and eventual appointments including secretary of education and secretary of state, several individuals even leaving the room but

obamacare is exploding. we couldn't quite get there. , very small number of votes short in terms of getting our bill passed. a lot of people don't realize how good our bill was because they were doing phase one. when you add phase two which was mostly the signings of secretary price behind me and phase three which i think we would have gotten, it would have been a good bill. premiums would have gone down and it would have been very strong. but we're very, very close and i think what will happen is obamacare will explode. it's going to be a very bad year. last year you had over 100% increases in various places, arizona, i understand, it's going up very rapidly again. like it did last year. last year was 116%. many places, 50%, 60%, 70%. i guess it averaged, whatever the average was, very, very high. this year should be much worse for obamacare. what would be really good with no democrat support, if the democrats want it to explode if they got together with us and got a real health care bill. i'd be totally op

this year should be much worse for obamacare. what would be really good with no democrat support, if the democrats want it to explode if they got together with us and got a real health care bill. i'd be totally open to it. i think that's going to happen. i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer because now they own obamacare. their own it, 100% own it. this is not a republican health care, this is not anything but a democrat health care and they have obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future and just remember this is not our bill. this is their bill. when they all become civilized and get together and try and work out a great health care bill for the people of this country, we're open to it. we're totally open to it. i want to thank the republican party, i want to thank paul ryan. he worked very, very hard. i will tell you that he worked very, very hard. tom price and mike pence who is right here, our vice president, our great vice president, everybod

you own obamacare. when you go into your midterm elections, it's on you that basically high insurance costs, part-time jobs all on the rise. obamacare reform bill has been pulled at the 11th hour. minutes after the vote was scheduled to start, president trump asked the speaker paul ryan to pull the bill. sent health care stocks soaring. let's bring in gerri willis with the latest. we're seeing health care stocks moving, but the dow really didn't take a hit. do you think that's maybe because now the president is saying i'm going to focus on tax reform? >> reporter: a very good point, it was a complete yo-yo day in the markets, let me tell you. dow down as much as 120 point, rallied in the end as the news came out that the bill was pulled, health care bill was being pulled. there's a lot going on and i want to break it down for you. the stocks have popped here. a lot of hospital stocks did well. tenet was up 8%. hca popped 8%, as we were getting news about the bill being pulled. health insurers up, 5%. if

so obamacare is exploding with no democrat support. we can't quite get there, we're just a very small number of votes short getting the bill passed. i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, because now they own obamacare, they own it. 100% own it. this is not republican health care, this is not anything but democrat health care and they have obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future. and just remember, this is not our bill, this is their bill. now when they all become civilized and get together, and try to work out a great health care bill for the people of this country, we're open to it. >> sir, is it fair for americans to let obamacare explode? >> there's nothing you can do about it. things are going to happen to obamacare, there's not much you can do to help it. i have been saying that for a year and a half, i said eventually, it's not sustainable. i said the other day when president obama left, 17, he knew he wasn't going to be here, 17 is going to be

i'd say what happens with obamacare? >> what you will see is magnification all these stories rather stable. more businesses harmed, more individuals not everything, that they would use. more moms and that's unable to care for the kids in the way they believed to be most appropriate. more people getting insurance but no care. this is about real peoples lives and that's why it is so important. >> and deductibles are so high. you hear these stories whether paying a fortune for insurance and then you are how high the deductible is. unless they have attracted in the family it would never be able to use it. >> $13,000 before the insurance kicks in. that's what the estimate, $13,000. >> keep working. >> he's been working very hard and doing a great job. mr. vice president, do you have anything to say? >> mr. president, i think what these great americans see, you're someone who puts people over politics, and i just want to thank all of them for coming and in front of a national media talking about the real world and the index of

obamacare appealed that. they had a great risk pool in utah. all those are gone under obamacare. here's how they work and here's how our system would work. we would directly support the people with praises and conditions. let me give you a sense of the spirit of 1% of the people in these markets drive 23% of the costs. reinsurance program is to cover more than just the 1%, to cover the people with high health care costs. by having estate innovation funds to go to the states to set up these programs, we would subsidize the people. tech support for the people of pre-existing

that just means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. we're going to fix the rest of the tax code. >> you don't think what is passed is cruel, portends bad things? a >> i don't think this is prologue for other future things. members leel eyes there are other parts of our agenda people have even more agreement on on what to achieve. we have even more agreement on the need and the nature of tax reform on funding the government, on rebuilding the military, on securing the border. this issue had a big difference of opinion not whether we should repile and replace obamacare, but just how we should replace it. and that is the growing pains of governing. we were a 10-year opposition party, where being against things was easy to do. you just had to be against it. and now in three months' time we tried to go to a governing party where we actually had to get 216 people to agree with each other on how we do things and we weren't just quite there today. we will get there, but we weren't there today. yeah. >> i just had something. i wonder if you're

number one, the bill repeals obamacare. number two, it repeals the obamacare taxes. it repeals the obamacare spending. it repeals the obamacare mandates on individuals and businesses. it has a medicaid per capita entitlementiggest reform anybody has seen here for decades. it nearly doubles the amount of money people can contribute to health savings accounts. that is a crucial part of conservative health care policy. i've been doing conservative health care reform for 20 years. years, have been arguing for equalizing the tax treatment of health care for all americans so we can have a vibrant, individual market so we can have choice and competition. there are two ways of fixing health care. have the government run it and ration it and put price controls. or do what conservatives have been arguing for years. having a vibrant, free market where people get to buy what they want. equalize the tax treatment. stop the discrimination of people who want to go out in a free marketplace and by the health care they are choosing. this does that and allows choices. the most importa

well, of course, obamacare is crazy. premiums are spiking across the country by 25% nationwide and as much as 47% in kentucky for individuals. choices have fallen from coast to coast with about a third of counties nationwide and nearly half in kentucky having only a single insurer to choose from on the exchanges. and health care markets are teetering closer to the edge of collapse. the obamacare status quo is simply not an option. we have an obligation to the american people to repeal and replace obamacare. we have a thre three-throng pros to get there. the first is the legislation. house committees are currently considering. it's a specialized piece of legislation that allows us to repeal obamacare and implement some but not all of the important replacement reforms we want to make. another is an additional replacement reforms that go even further in making health care more affordable and accessible. the remaining prong is executive action. there's much the administration can do to help bring calm out of chaos out of oba

repeal obamacare. how about using the bill we all supported and then replace it with something we actually believe is going to lower health care costs. >> mr. jordan, can you talk for a minute, mr. jordan or mr. meadows. you said you met with the vice president, he said he's open to negotiation here. the vice president -- he said this is the bill. i hear all of you talk it sounds like you're trying to get somewhere where you can support a legislative product at the end of the day but as you just alluded to, mr. jordan, and mr. garrett said this, they wrote this in the dead of night so on and so forth so why would you trust them? >> well, of course we are trying to get to reveal obamacare. we know what a disaster it is for the american people. the american people spoke loudly and clearly on november 8, but i think mr. garrett's comments were exactly right. not just doing it, but doing it right. that is why we are going to introduce our legislation tomorrow. that is why we think the two pieces of legisla

did the bill repeal obamacare? no. he called it obamacare-light. did it bring down premiums? no. the premiums would continue to rise for at least three years. and didn't unite the publican party? of course it didn't. you suck conservatives and moderates in the house and senate oppose this legislation. it didn't unite our party. so i why didn't we move -- one with the goal post moves? when they didn't start with the legislation we all voted for 15 months ago, the same bill i introduced two weeks ago. what's to claim repeal in one piece of legislation and then a separate piece to replace obamacare. >> congressman jordan: >> chrise done that under reconciliation, there would be no subsidies to help people buy insurance or pay for their premiums and deductibles. no expanded medicaid. let me finish. no expanded medicaid to help those people. the result of a clean repeal is that millions of people who currently have health insurance coverage wouldn't. >> congressman jordan: the result of the claim repeal as we get rid of obamacare. >> chris: that has the subsidies and the expanded medi

that means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. we'll fix the rest of the tax code. reporter: what is past is prologue here? this portend -- >> this is not prologue for other future things. members realize other parts of the agenda people have even more agreement on what to achieve. we have even more agreement on the need and nature of tax reform on funding the government, on rebuilding the military, securing the border. this issue had a big difference opinion, not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare, but just how we should replace it. that is the growing pains of governing. we were a 10-year opposition party. we're being against things was easy to do. you just had to be against it. and now in three months time we try to go to a governing party where we have to get 216 people to agree with each other how to do things. we weren't just quite there today. we will get there but we weren't there today. reporter: bloomberg. are you going to move ahead with phase two and three, hhs phase two and phase three legislation and also, if you can talk about how the conf

obamacare is not viable. all people chants to keep obamacare, obamacare has failed, even nancy pelosi and democrats say we need to fix obamacare, i can promise you, we're trying to get it done, but there is no help from the democrats, so the people who are saying they will keep obamacare, that is not going for america. >> keeping -- without insurance. >> cboscored by amendment. >> obamacare your --? >> obamacare is failing. if we don't get this repealed and replaced, we have a good. obamacare has failed. when we take about option of country healthcare it would be in a mess. if we don't get a replacement. if obamacare does implode before our eyes. >> are you precluded from doing tax reform? >> the point is, if we don't get this done, where are we going to go with tax reforms and immigration reform? this is step one. without step one, we really don't get to step two, we're talking eliminating $800 billion of job killing taxes, fees and penalties to get our economy growing, and get us more jobs, this is more tha

but that just means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. we're going to go fix the rest of the tax code. >> this portends bad things -- >> i don't think so. members realize there are other parts of our agenda that people have even more agreement on on what to achieve. we have even more agreement on the need and the nature of tax reform on funding the government, on rebuilding the military, on securing the border. this issue had a big difference of opinion, not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare, but just how we should replace it. and that is the growing pains of governing. we were a ten year opposition party, where being against things was easy to do. now in three months time we try to go to a governing party where we have to get 216 people to agree. we weren't there today. we will get there. >> house speaker paul ryan reacting to the fact he couldn't get the votes to get the healthcare replacement bill passed today. this is a disappointing day for us he said. doing big things is hard he added. but he did admit that we will be l

the casty collins plan which is basically if you like obamacare, you can keep obamacare. there's the leadership plan that was brought forward which i believe when you look through it is obamacare in a different form. and then there's our plan, the one that i think is consistent with what we told the voters we were going to do. repeal obamacare, replace it with a market-centered, patient-centered, doctor-centered plan that actually brings down the cost of insurance, brings down the cost of healthcare and provides affordable insurance for all americans. think about this, we put on president obama desk a bill that repealed obamacare, got rid of every single tax, got rid of the mandates, and now the first thing republicans are bringing forward is a piece of legislation that we're going to put on a republican president's desk that says we repeal it but keeps medicaid expansion and actually expands it, that keeps some of the tax increases. that's not what we promised the american people we were go to do. our plan, repeal it, clean repeal like we all voted on before, separate le

s attribution of clapgs of obamacare to tom price over at the hhs. obamacare is obamacare. the premium hikes are coming because of obamacare. the people with the fake medicare insurance got it because of obamacare. >> it's not fake, you know that. >> the american people know. >> no, it's not fake. and it was working and there was some problems in some markets where it is a one-time spike because it was under price. and you know that. and so the obamacare is collapsing, but the rules -- >> as i have been saying, we have standing by here for donald trump in these remarks from the oval office. seated right next to me, brian williams. >> steve kornacki, thanks. as our coverage expands here to include what is a tape turn-around, remarks already delivered by the president but not yet fed out to the television networks and to viewers. here is what the president had to say. >>> thank you very much. we were very close, it was a very, very tight margin. we had no democrat support. we had no votes from the democrats. they weren't going to give us a single vote, so it's a very difficul

the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. and this -- >> members realize there's other parts of our agenda that people have even more agreement on on what to achieve. we have even more agreement on the need and the nature of tax reform on funding the government, on rebuilding the military, securing the border. this issue had a big difference of opinion, not whether we should repeal and replace obamacare but how we should replace it. that is the growing pains of governing. we were a ten-year opposition party where being against things was easy to do. just had to be against it. in three months time, we tried to go to the governing party where we had to get 217 people to agree on how get things done. we weren't there today. we were close. >> are you going to go ahead in phase 2 and phase 3 legislation and also if you can just talk about how the conference is doing right now. >> the conference -- we were on the cusp of fulfilling a promise that we made. the cusp of achieving an ambition. we were close. this bill would have made w

and improving obamacare. but for the president to have to make obamacare worse and make people suffer, to say it doesn't work when cbo says it does work. that's not being president. >> listen to how speaker of the house paul ryan reacted. >> we were probably doing the democrats a favor, we were doing the architects of obamacare a favor by pass this law, and it's going to get worse. i don't think the architects of obamacare -- i'm sure they may be pleased now, but when they see how bad it gets, they're not going to like that either. >> go ahead and react to the speaker. >> well, again, obamacare is working for millions of people. that's why there was such an outcry when this he decided to repeal it. can it be improved some? of course. we've always said that. once republicans are taking repeal off the table, we're willing to work with them to improve t. but it's far better to have it than not have. 23 million people covered, preexisting conditions covered, college kids taken care of, women's care, seniors getti

we'll repeal obamacare. if only you give us the senate, we'll repeal obamacare. if only you give us the white house, we'll repeal obamacare. you know what? we're out of excuses. the time for talk is over. ow is the time for action. and i got toil, i think failure is not an option. -- i got to tell you. i think failure is not an option. if republicans take this opportunity and blow t. we will rightly be considered -- blow it, we will rightly be considered a laughingstock. we can't do that. i'll tell you the leaders who have been here, the leaders who have been addressing you today have been on the frontlines fighting to take the house plan, which has a lot of problems, and to try to make it real repeal that lowers premiums that gives you control over your health are. i believe we can get it done. i can tell you in the last week, four days i have been at the white house meeting with the president, with the vice president, with the administration, with house members, with senators saying we have got to get it done. and with your sport, you-all are here talk to your

pence: obamacare has failed the people of kentucky. it has failed the people of america, and obamacare must go. [applause] vice-pres. pence: now the plan the president outlined in his joint address to congress is the plan we are working on. we will repeal and replace obamacare once and for all and replace it with health care reform that will improve the lives of every american and strengthen our economy. the truth is ordering every american to buy health insurance whether they want it or not was never the right solution for health care in this country. so we will repeal the mandates and taxes and penalties of obamacare. [applause] vice-pres. pence: we will end of obamacare's individual and employer mandates. we will get rid of more than $500 billion in obamacare tax increases. [applause] vice-pres. pence: and, we are going to give americans more choices. we will expand health savings accounts, give americans a tax credit to help people buy plans they need at a price they can afford. we will make sure americans with pre-existing conditi

we have a new obamacare bill. do you think the different factions will come together in the house because you have the freedom caucus and the republican senate committee conservative folks who think it's another entitlement and i want to give you a chance to respond to comments on cnn on people buying an iphone or health care and some people not suggesting the way it came out and suggesting those in the lower-income brackets will have to give up things to make sure they're covered. >> what we're trying to say and maybe i didn't say it as smoothly as i could but people need to make a responsible choice and i believe in self-reliance. we want people to have access to an affordable product. if they have a pre-existing condition or healthy it's smart to do it. what i don't like the individual mandate to force people. as an american you have to make forces and you have to make decisions and where to make investments. in your health care maybe a health savings account which the plan that introduced is heavy on. those ar

collins plan, if you like obamacare you can keep obamacare. there was the leadership plan that was brought forward which i believe when you look through it is obamacare in a different form. then there is our plan, the one i think is consistent with what we told the voters we were going do. repeal obamacare, replace it with a market centered patient centered doctor centered plan that brings down the cost of insurance, brings down the cost of health care and prois affordable insurance opportunities for all americans. that's what we are focused on doing. think about this, he put on president obama's desk a bill that repealed obamacare, got rid of every single tax, got rid of the mandates, and now the first thing republicans are bringing forward is a piece of legislation that we are going to put on a republican president's desk that says we repeal it, but keeps medicaid exexpansion and actually expands it, that keeps some of the tax increases. th is not what we promised the american people we were going to do. our plan, repeal it -- clean repeal,

will repeal obamacare. well, you know what? we are out of excuses. the time for talk is over, and now is the time for action. and i have to tell you that i think that failure is not an option. if republicans take this opportunity and blow it, we will rightly be considered a laughingstock. so we can't do that, and i will tell you that the leaders who have been here, and the leaders who have been addressing you today have been on the front lines fighting to take the house plan which has a lot of problems, and to try to make it real repeal which gives you real control over your health care. i believe that we can get it done. i can tell you in the last week, four days i have been at the white house meeting with the president, with the vice president, and the administration, and house members, and with senators and saying that we have got to get it done, and with your support, you are all here to talk to your elected representative, and the most important message for all of us to hear from you is that we have to

this is still obamacare. we're still talking in terms of exchanges and mandate and tax credits which were created under this immoral entitlement. nancy pelosi mouths her high horse and she talks about the immorality of this republican bill, this is a response to obamacare which should have never taken place at all. democrats had several options what they can do with a stacked congress and democratic president and they chose this. they rammed it through. it was designed to fail. it would return into single payer. to david's analogy, what's happened now, republicans are -- i don't think this is a great plan. now they have to use a tourniquet. the patient is losing a leg. the democrats are complaining because ne now he can't wear pa. >> timing is everything. you got people approaching the half way mark by the time easter passes. now you would have gone five months or so by the time you wake up, you've lost time. well beyond the enrollment eperiod. you're talking tax credits with people who don't need them. you h

obamacare just is not working n. the last year alone premiums are up 25% in a third of the counties in this country we have only one insurance provider therefore american citizens don't have a choice. we have no choice but to make the plan better for all americans out there. we will get a score next week, cbo will do what they need to do, we will see what the score is and in the past the score has been meaningless. they said more people that would be ensure that are actually ensured. >> but to repeat my question, will the president support a plan if the cbo says that millions of people will lose their health insurance coverage, will the president continue to support that plan? >> but, chris it's not just about coverage, it's about access to care, it's access to be able to see your doctor, the number who is covered and who is not covered that is interesting and i know that may make head lines, what we care is people's ability to get health care. that's what we care about and that's what we are driving for. >> but gary

those were in obamacare. popular. two major issues in the bill right now that republicans need to reconcile. how they provide subsidy for americans. repealing the obamacare subsidy over three years will be replaced by refundable tax credits. that goes up from $2,000 to $4,000. it will be capped depending on income. and medicaid. some states took that offered in obamacare and now those states will be allowed to continue growing the roles until 2020. that is compromise language trying to reach out to red state senators concerned about what will happen to the program. those states that did not expand. they will get money as well so they are not punished by not taking them. what is the pathway forward? it will be difficult. something senate majority leader mitch mcconnell made clear on monday. >> the house will work this week to move forward with legislation that under a new president who will actually sign it can finally help pursue smarter health care solutions in place of the failed partisan experiment. we know the tas

let's not forget, obamacare is collapsing. obamacare is not staying. if we did nothing, the law would collapse and leave everybody without affordable health care. mercyn byng a act of replacing this law with health care reforms that we as conservatives have been fighting for for years. conservative groups -- [inaudible] >> let me give you a list of what is in here that conservatives should be excited about. one, it reveals obamacare. two, it feels the obamacare taxes, a massive tax relief for families. the obamacare spending, medicaid expansion, and obamacare subsidies. onreveals obamacare mandates individuals and businesses and ends of funding for planned parenthood and sense that funding to community health centers. it is a medicaid per capital block grants, the biggest entitlement reform for decades. " amount of money people can contribute to health savings account, a fundamental part in a crucial part of conservative health care policy. equalizes the tax treatment of health care. i have been doing conservative health care reform for 20 years. for 2

also known as obamacare. some conservative lawmakers and groups say the legislation, which includes tax credits to buy insurance doesn't go far enough. >>> house republican speaker paul ryan, he is set to hold a news conference in the next few minutes. he will talk about the bill that his leadership is now presenting. that the white house is now pushing. we are all anxiously awaiting to the speaker. we will bring you live when it happens. >>> and wikileaks today publishing what had it says are thousands of cia documents containing hacking secrets, including suggestions that the spy agency can turn smart tvs into listening devices and get past encrypted communication apps. nbc news has not verified the authenticity of the documents, the cia has declined comment. >>> all 100 u.s. senators now coming together, calling on the federal government to help the jewish community centers across the nation enhance their security. the request coming as centers in four states reported phone or e-mail threats today. authori

by repealing obamacare. people are not going to see the truly devastating effects of obamacare. they are not going to see the devastation in 17 and 18 and 19. 2019.2017, 2018, and it will be gone by then. the press is making it look so wonderful so that if we ended everyone will say, "remember how , wonderful obamacare was?" it is so great. it is a little bit like president obama. when he left, people like him. when he was here, people didn't like him so much. that is the way life goes. that is human nature. the fact is, obamacare is a disaster. and i say this to republicans on the time. by repealing it, by getting rid of it, by ending it, everybody is want to say, "it used to be so great," but it was not great. i tell tom price and paul ryan and i tell everyone of them, i say the best thing you can do is politically is wait a year because it is going to blow itself off the map, but that is the wrong thing to do for the country and the wrong thing to do for our citizens. so with that, i would like to introduce some of the folks, and if you could say a few words about your curiou

stuck with obamacare. okay? that's what he says. is that what the president really wanted all along? and what are the odds that paul ryan can avoid a humiliating loss on the plan republicans have been promising for seven years? listen to what speaker ryan has been saying. >> prolsing american people we will repeal and replace this broken law because it's collapsing and hurting families. tomorrow we're proceeding. >> good evening to you both. today republicans had self-imposed deadline to pass the gop plan on the anniversary that president obama signed affordable care act, and they failed. take us behind the scenes here, what is happening? >> about as high stakes chicken as you with play. over the course of the day, no movement. short of the votes and didn't seem like any chance to get there. canceled press conferences, the actual scheduled vote and meeting behind the scenes until president trump himself passed word to his top advisers, this has to end. we're not making any more changes. negotiations are ov

that just means the obamacare taxes stay with obamacare. members realize there are other parts of our agenda that people have even more of agreement on on what to achieve. refund more agreement on -- on funding the government. this issue had a big difference whether we not should repeal and replace obamacare, but how we should replace it. are a ten-year opposition party were being against things was the easy thing to do. and now we try to go to a governing party, where we have to get 216 people to agree with each other on how we do things. get there, but we weren't quite there's a day. >> are you going to move ahead with -- and also house the conference doing right now? >> the conference is let down, the conference is disappointed. we were on the cusp of for filling a promise that we made, of achieving an ambition we had for seven years and we came a little bit short. this bill would have made phase two much better. nevertheless i think there are some things the secretary can do to stabilize things. for instance, risk pools, we think the sm

obamacare has failed, and obamacare must go. since the day florida helped send donald trump to the white house, he has been focused on replacing obamacare with something that actually works. we know that the core -- the core flaw of obamacare was -- is this notion that you could order every american to buy health insurance, whether they want it or needed it or not. that was never the answer. a few days ago in nashville, president trump actually called that obamacare's quote, fatal flaw. the president couldn't be more right. that's why we're going to end this flaw. we're going to replace it with real solutions built on freedom, personal responsibility and state flexibility and reform. that's what works. and that's what president trump's plan for health care reform will do. for the american people. we're going to begin, though -- we're going to begin by repealing obamacare's taxes. we're going to end its mandates by eliminating the penalties. we're going to give americans more choices. we're going to expand health savings accounts

that's et logic of obamacare. it was a jerry built system which was going to temporarily create an entitlement but would not work because it was financially impossible. so financially impossible it collapses. but they have succeeded in creating an expectation of universal care and once you have that, that's the reason why the quinnipiac poll had the reform, the ryan reform had 17%. that's pathetic. that's lower than anything ever in obamacare. what we're going to get is in time. democrats are going to go to single payer and republicans are going to try to get a stripping away of government control and i thin its time is slipping away. the zik in the country has changed. >> brett: kristin, is repeal officially dead? are we dealing with fixing obamacare or does the republican congress and this administration have another bite at this apple at some point down the line? >> there's another other stuff on congress' agenda that they want to get to that i think makes it very challenging for them to have the band width to

replacing obamacare to cutting taxes. some lawmakers demanding we figure out how to pay for tax cuts. some here say they pay for themselves. we debate it coming up next. we asked a group of young people when they thought they should start saving for retirement. then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. ostriches don't really stick vitheir heads in the sand.ve horns on their helmets. and a real john deere is actually real affordable. you learn something new everyday. the surprisingly affordable john deere e series tractors. >> fox news alert. good morning to you, i'm leland vittert in washington. we're moments away from vice-president mike pence to speak in louisville, kent
