obamacare... and whether it would stay the way it is or change, if cruz is elected. 3 trt: 1:4207:43:00 a lot of the american people are still a bit weary of their coverage of obamacare, but some polls are showing that it may cost millions of dollars to actually repeal obamacare. number one, do you think that is true? and number two, what would be your healthcare plan? 07:43:18 you know, six years ago, reasonable minds could've differed over whether obamacare would make sense, but today, seeing it in implementation, it is the height of reasonable and moderation to say "this isn't working. let's repeal every word of it and start over." today, under obamacare, millions of americans have lost their jobs, have been forced into part time work, have lost their health insurance, have lost their doctors, millions of americans have seen their insurance premiums skyrocket under obamacare. if i am elected president, i will repeal every single word of obamacare. and then we'll pass common sense empowers patie

we are going to repeal obamacare. >> if i'm elected president we word of obamacare.>> reporter: repeal has been the gop candidates refrain but replace it with what. all of them support expanding -- extending medical savings accounts making it easier -- and making it easier to take your plane with you when you change jobs or move. they also want to reduce red tape work ohio governor john kasich claims that his expansion in his state is a model for reform. critics say it has added bureaucracy without helping. >> a water downed version of the catalog -- cadillac tax that everyone in both parties wants to repeal -- >> the single most important change in terms of controlling the healthcare spending long- term>> reporter: this is endorsed by john [ name indiscernible ] a longtime health executive who founded insurance connector authority under then governor mitt romney. >> our medicare for all single- payer proposal will say the average middle-class family $4000 -- $5000 a year. scenic the numbers don't add up. that is a promise that can't be kept.>> reporter: bernie sanders wants to raise y

and republicans are aye cross the country are running against obamacare. so republicans are always looking for an opportunity to take some headlines out of the news and enforce a vote -- and force a vote on a piece of obamacare that's particularly in front of the public at the moment. host: so where do you know that the health care law itself is right now? the status of enrollment deadlines, that kind of thing? guest: the third enrollment period just ended. on january 31. and the law is kind of gotten to the point in the rest of the country, outside of politics, where it's boring. which is probably what the administration wants. it's expected. people who voluntary have gotten coverage -- people who have gotten coverage know every year they have to go to this open enrollment period. a lot of people who signed up in the past have resigned up. we don't have final numbers yet for this but the last time the administration reported in late january, 11.6 million people had signed up. the administration kind of down played expectations for this third year. as far

i think what we're looking at happening with obamacare is the law of unintended consequences is coming through. the effects aon small businesses, insurance companies, many threatening to about pull out next year. people having their hours cut as a result of it. people losing doctors, prices going up. yes, you're insuring more people but is that trade-off worth it. i think not >> people knew that would happen and they weighed that against the benefit of having people insured. at the end of the day when you put private companies in charge of health care and health insurance companies are making so many decisions, you're going to have rates go up >> you sound like a guy who has never gone a day without health insurance. i went a few days and i was making good money and i couldn't afford it. >> i don't know if i have it now to be honest with you >> the affordable care act is far from perfect. it's not what experts would like to design, but it doesn't bring down affordablity. the price goes up but is it better than people dying, is it people-- >> people go to emergency rooms. >> people were

well, we didn't have obamacare a to get rid of obamacare. i work in the health profession, i work in healthcare, i see this everyday, since obamacare has been implemented, we've seen people losing coverage because the cost has gone up so much. the monthly premium has gone up, deductibles have gone way up, a lot of people are less covered than they were before. >> wouldn't the good plan be to fix what we have with obamacare, rather than trying to get rid of it? the republicans have come up with nothing new, they just say let's get rid of it, but there is no other plan. >> my objection to obamacare tis mandatory. i don't believe there is a constitutional right or basis or authority in the constitution for the federal government to be telling people they have to buy anything. so that is a problem. it's being run from the federal level. i would rather see healthcare program instituted by the states and then we could have the different states working out >> sadly, it didn't work out well for the silver state. that is where we have to leave it. wi

we can expand it without obamacare. i would repeal obamacare, second to stop oeb obamacare. we did not create a state exchange under obamacare. i will repeal it. i'm going to chankt health care system to a point where it's really free market driven by paying for hospitals and doctors that deliver quality health care at lower prices. don't try to hang me up on obamacare. i don't like it. it doesn't control the cost of medicine. secondly, it hamstrings small business. and third lishgs it's driven up the cost of health insurance in my state by 80%. reagan did it five times by expanding medicaid. and by the way, our medicaid program has gone from over 10% growth to 2.5% in my second budget. >> governor? >> yeah? >> i want to talk longer. >> i want to end. that i want to be 6 feet tall but that's not going to happen. you have to go. >> here's the last thing. i have run a completely positive campaign about bringing people together. the establishment people have spent five, six, seven million >> okay. >> wouldn't it be great if we could win being positive. >> governor, thank you. >

rejected obamacare. there are a number of leading conservatives that say that's flat wrong. because you pushed for the expansion of medicaid which is a pillar of obamacare. you pushed for it so hard, you went around your republican-controlled state legislatures to impose it. >> i can explain. >> absolutely. >> ronald reagan expanded medicaid five times. i can expand medicaid without having to have obamacare. number one, it was part of obamacare. it doesn't matter. we can expand it without obamacare. i would repeal obamacare, second of all, i'm in court stug people to stop oeb obamacare. we did not create a state exchange under obamacare. i will repeal it. i'm going to chankt health care really free market driven by paying for hospitals and doctors that deliver quality health care at lower prices. don't try to hang me up on obamacare. i don't like it. it doesn't control the bost of medicine. secondly, it hamstrings small business. and third lishgs it's driven up the cost of health insurance in my state by

a lot of time spent on obamacare. what is your plan? what is the best solution for health care going forward under president carson? >> i think the key is to have something controlled by patients and providers, minimize the role of the insurance carriers and the way to do that and the account which is like a health savings account and we used the same money and the shift the money within their family gives them flexibility to cover the vast amount of things that are going to happen to you. like a health savings account but without bureaucrats. then, you have ability to to have catastrophic health care but it's going to cost you less money. because the only thing coming out of that is your catastrophic health care. how often do you have that? >> and creates competition, keeping prices in line, maybe drive them down a bit. >> it brings the whole thing into the street market model, which is what controls price and quality. >> what about immigration? the other vast amount of time spent on immigration, started there. you're in texas. what do

the people voted for representatives to repeal obamacare. and year after year the american people saw the health care promises that democrats in congress and president obama made, they were just exactly what they were, empty. you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan, your premiums will drop, nobody, not even the president, believes that anymore. so we didn't give up, we fought for the american people, and we put a bill repealing this law on the president's desk. and now, the democrats have no more defenses. their law is failing, the people aren't on their side, the end of obamacare is coming. and in its place we can create something that delivers so much more than just broken promises. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. . mr. van hollen: thank you very much, mr. speaker. the republican leader said we don't have to worry about the veto. the reality is the president's veto will be sustained today. apparently our republican col

you have hillarycare, obamacare and trumpcare. if donald trump selected president, the federal government is in charge of our health care. that's his position right now. >> i want to drill down into cruz care. there is a statement you made about obamacare that got a lot of attention since the debate. here it is. >> we have seen now in six years of obamacare that it's been a disaster. it is the biggest job killer in this country, millions of americans have lost their jobs and have been forced into part time work, have lost their health insurance, have lost their doctors, have seen their premiums skyrocket. >> but senator, the fact checkers say you're wrong. since that law went into effect, the unemployment rate fell from 9.9% to 5%, 13 million new jobs were created and 16.3 million people who were previously uninsured now have coverage. don't get me wrong, there are plenty of problems with obamacare. but more people have jobs and health insurance than they did before obamacare. >> chris, the media fact checkers are not fair and imp

when you first heard about obamacare, were you excited about the idea that you'd be able to afford some good insurance? janet hill: at first, i was. and then i just got so disappointed with it. sharyl: janet hill is a professional transport driver in fernandina beach, florida. when she took a new job that didn't provide insurance, she priced out policies and got severe sticker shock. janet: they told me it would be $400 or $500 a month. i can't afford that. sharyl: hill joins an emerging class that's an unintded side effect of the affordable care act -- the newly-uninsured. it's not part of the rosy portrait painted by president obama. pres. obama: up to 129 million americans with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage or be charged more just because they've been sick. private insurance are now guaranteed preventive care coverage. sharyl: under obamacare, a new reality is setting in -- more people have health insurance, but for millions, policies cover less, and cost more. nathan nascimento is a senior policy adviser at freedom partners, a libertarian-leaning nonprofit

>> obamacare will kill the budget. >> already is. >> obamacare -- yeah, but the numbers in '16 and '17 and '18 are astronomical. one of the biggest problems we have with the budget. anything you do in terms of saving is going to be gobbled up. the numbers are astronomical. if they were and it was fantastic, that's one thing. i know people given up the obamacare. they're out. they can't afford it. >> can you do that and balance a budget? >> yeah, you can. >> how quickly and how? >> you have been saying it for years and sounds simplistic. you are talking about the penny plan. take a penny off of four or five years -- >> one penny from every dollar. >> i think you can do better than that. right people like in the agencies and the various people that do the balancing and budget, et cetera, et cetera, you know cut the numbers by two and three pennies and balance a budget quickly and have a stronger and better country. you know, when i build a building, i spend less than the guy across the street. it's better and costs me less. look at the campaign. i spent less money on my campaign than any

when they passed obamacare, they put a bailout fund in obamacare. all of these lobbyists they keep talking about, they put a bailout fund in the law that would allow taxpayer money to be used to bail out companies when they lost money. and we led the effort and wiped out that bailout fund. the insurance companies aren't in favor of me. they hate that. they're suing to get that bailout money to be put back in. this is an important thing. what is your plan, i understand the lines around the state, whatever that means. this is not a game where you draw maps -- >> you don't know what it means. that is the problem. >> what is your plan? >> the biggest problem, he doesn't know. the biggest problem he's got is he dount know. >> what's his plan? >> i watched him melt down two weeks ago with chris christie, i've got to tell you, the biggest problem he's got is he really don't know about the lines. the biggest thing we've got and the reason we have no competition is because we have lines around the state and you have -- >> you already mentioned that as part o

i have repeal obamacare and i am in court suing people to stop obamacare. third, we did not create a state exchange under obamacare. the fact is, as i will repeal it and what i will do is change the health care system to a point where it is free market driven by paying for hospitals and doctors that deliver quality health care at lower prices. do not try to hang me up on obama care. does it not control the cost medicine, and, second, it hamstrings small business. third, it has drive up the cost of health insurance if my state by 80 percent. reagan did it five times by exspokespersonning medicaid the our medicaid program has gone from over 10 percent growth to 2.5 percent in my second budget. >> governor? >> yes? thank you is it. >> i want to talk more. >> i want to be 6' tall but that will not happen. >> last thing i have run a positive campaign of bringing people together and the establishment "establishment," have spent $5 million $6 million running ads against me. it would be great if we can win. being positive. right? >> thank you. >> say goodbye. >> go

remember this and that obamacare? people are forgetting but now they are miserable because it is 45%, 30 5%, 55%, it is totally out of control. probably stinks of its own pollution in 2017 unless the republicans give another -- i mean, what is going on? what is going on? the budget. the last budget that was approved is an absolute disaster for everybody in this country. we own $19 trillion as of today. we just crossed the $19 trillion mark. we are surely going to be a $21 trillion because the budget. our country to make so strong. we are going to start winning again. we do not win any more as a country, we do not win on trade, we don't win with the military, we cannot beat isis. we don't win with anything and we are going to start winning again. much, are going to win so you are going to be so happy, we are going to make america so great again. maybe greater than ever before. i love you all. thank you, new hampshire. thank you, thank you new hampshire, thank you. we are going now to south carolina. we are going to win

as a senator i will repeal every word of obamacare." 3 and governor nikki haley is also talking about the presidential race...and the chance of becoming a v-p candidate. candidate.i got the chance to talk with today in greenville... she was in the upstate, speaking at the south carolina automotive summit at the hyatt regency.the governor... who recently endorsed marco rubio for president... says she'll support whatever candidate ultimately gets the republican nomination.but she thinks candidate for the general election, than current front- runner donald trump. 3 3 3 "what we want to see is that field getting smaller, because my biggest concern if it comes down to trump is we don't know if he can win a general and that's a big concern. when you look at, when it comes down to a field of 2 or 3, he can't win, his ceiling is at 35 percent. he can't get above 35 percent and so any other republican going head to head is going to beat him." him."just last week... rubio said governor haley would be on any of the candidates' short list for vice president. but when i asked her about that today.

you did expand medicaid. >> yeah, i did. >> with obamacare. is your way of saying we rejected obamacare without leaving anyone behind, is that what that means? >> well, look, we rejected obamacare because we don't have a state exchange. i turned it down. i sued the government to get rid of obamacare. >> but you did take the medicaid expansion. >> i know, but reagan expanded medicaid five times. when i can bring $14 billion back to our state, when we're controlled the medicaid costs, i mean, my second budget, medicaid was growing at 2.5% and everybody was happy. and we're covering now about 400,000 people in our state. we have more people covered that way than we have on these subsidies from obamacare. obamacare is a bad program, it doesn't control the driving cost of medicine. it's driven up insurance premiums by 80% in my state. and it's hurting small businesses' ability to expand. what i want to do is take a few federal resources, combine it with the freed up medicaid program, cover the working poor. but i'm driving towards a whole new healt

look, i want -- we're going to repeal and replace obamacare. obamacare is a total and complete disaster. it's going to be gone. we're going to come up with a great health care plan, whether it's health care savings accounts. we have a lot of different things. we can get rid of the lines between states, we'll have great competitive bidding. but i say all the time you can call it anything you want. people are not going to die in the middle of the street. people are not going to die on the sidewalk if i'm president, okay. >> let me get something definitive from you on this -- >> chuck, excuse me, i say that to packed houses with thousands and thousands of people. republicans mostly. and i get standing ovations. i'm not going to let that happen. if i'm president, we're not going to have people dying on the streets. you can call it whatever you want -- >> no, i understand that. let me ask you this -- >> i don't call it mandate, it's common sense. >> do you think it should be a law anybody who can afford health insurance has to have it? >> i think, n
