:02:18. > :02:23.going to be very good. ObamaCare is a big failure. It has to be changed.
:02:24. > :02:29.We had to go to a plan that work. We need a much less expensive plan in

:02:38. > :02:42.I am joined by Buddy Carter from Georgia. Congressman, thank you for
:02:43. > :02:48.joining us. Your party promised to repeal and replace ObamaCare and now
:02:49. > :02:52.it looks like you'll struggle to do either those. I do not think we will
:02:53. > :02:56.struggle to repeal it and that is what we need to do. We said all
:02:57. > :02:59.along we would repeal and replace. We now have an opportunity to repeal
:03:00. > :03:05.it. That is the part we should take at this point. How would repeal work
:03:06. > :03:11.without a replacement already in place? Well, keep in mind that all
:03:12. > :03:15.along the way we have said we will have a stable transition period
:03:16. > :03:20.here. There is going to be a glide path, if you will. We never said we
:03:21. > :03:23.would turn the switches off and it would go away overnight. That is not
:03:24. > :03:29.the plan. We always said we would have a transition. Yes, it will take
:03:30. > :03:32.maybe two, three years to wind down but we will wind down and have
:03:33. > :03:37.something to replace it when the time comes. But it begs the question
:03:38. > :03:40.Republicans have been saying for almost eight years that they want to
:03:41. > :03:45.get rid of ObamaCare. Why was there not already a plan in place? We have
:03:46. > :03:51.been working on a plan. I was part of the commerce committee that had
:03:52. > :03:55.27.5 hours of committee meetings where we passed up the American
:03:56. > :03:59.health care act. I voted for it when it was voted out of the house. I
:04:00. > :04:04.think it is a good plan. Obviously any plan we come up with is going to
:04:05. > :04:10.have to be tweaked and mass arched over time. We understand that. At
:04:11. > :04:21.this point we are not ready to agree. -- mass arched. -- and looked
:04:22. > :04:25.out over time. We need to repeal this bad failed wall in ObamaCare
:04:26. > :04:29.and get started with what we want to replace it with. Some of your Senate
:04:30. > :04:36.colleagues say they do not even want to go ahead with a repeal. The
:04:37. > :04:39.repeal is the only pathway for us right now. I do not understand how
:04:40. > :04:43.people who have voted in the past four repeal cannot do so again. We
:04:44. > :04:49.voted for it last session at the session before. Full repeal. You
:04:50. > :04:54.pull up the same bill we had in 2015 and vote for it again the way you
:04:55. > :04:58.did last time. Where does this leave millions of Americans who could be
:04:59. > :05:03.in limbo for the next two years if this repeal goes ahead? We said all
:05:04. > :05:08.along we are not going to pull out the rug from under need anybody. We
:05:09. > :05:11.will have a stable transition. It is not going to happen overnight. It
:05:12. > :05:16.will take time to wind the programme down, this failed programme of
:05:17. > :05:20.ObamaCare. It will take a while to wind it down. We will continue to
:05:21. > :05:26.rip work on a replacement as we have been. We will have it in place by
:05:27. > :05:29.the time we wind down this failed ObamaCare. You need to get the
:05:30. > :05:35.Democrats on board but that is unlikely, isn't it? If we repeal
:05:36. > :05:40.ObamaCare we can start focusing on health care cost. That is going to
:05:41. > :05:45.be bipartisan. That is going to help with the insurance markets as we
:05:46. > :05:49.decrease the cost of health care through more competition and
:05:50. > :05:53.choices. Then we will have insurance companies who are going to be
:05:54. > :05:56.competing for our business. That is what we want. A robust and vibrant
:05:57. > :06:02.insurance market competing for business. Not us begging or
:06:03. > :06:04.subsidising them in order to keep in the market. Congressman, thank you
:06:05. > :06:06.very much for joining us. And for more on the politics
:06:07. > :06:08.and fallout for the Trump administration I am joined
:06:09. > :06:10.now by David Catanese, Senior Politics Writer for US News
:06:11. > :06:23.and World Report. Thank you very much for joining us.
:06:24. > :06:27.Who do you blame for all of this? You have to blame Republicans in
:06:28. > :06:31.Congress. Even before President Trump was on the scene they had
:06:32. > :06:36.campaigned on a repeal for seven years. They control the house and
:06:37. > :06:39.Senate. They finally got it through. But the Senate could not deliver. I
:06:40. > :06:43.think part of it is they were never really prepared for this moment. A
:06:44. > :06:48.lot of people did not think President Trump would have the
:06:49. > :06:51.Presidency. It was easy to be in opposition and campaign against
:06:52. > :06:55.ObamaCare rather than craft a new plan that they could get around. Now
:06:56. > :06:59.we have conservatives on one side of the issue and moderates on the
:07:00. > :07:04.other. And they could not agree. This looks dead in the water. How
:07:05. > :07:10.damaging is this for President Trump? Many people who voted for him
:07:11. > :07:15.did so because they wanted ObamaCare repealed and replaced. I think it is
:07:16. > :07:20.tremendously damaging to him in Washington. This guy campaigned on
:07:21. > :07:23.being a deal-maker, who could go to Capitol Hill and put people in a
:07:24. > :07:29.room and have them come together. He has failed on that. Congressman from
:07:30. > :07:32.the Republican Party said they health care is tied to the other
:07:33. > :07:37.parts of his agenda, tax cuts which they had to get the revenue savings
:07:38. > :07:46.from health care to produce tax cuts and reform. That may be in peril. I
:07:47. > :07:49.was out country and the Republicans on the ground still support
:07:50. > :07:52.President Trump. They blame Congress, that they could not get
:07:53. > :07:56.their act together and get on the same page. I think Trump supporters
:07:57. > :08:01.will stick with him on this and put the finger up at Congress. What do
:08:02. > :08:06.you think the president must be thinking right now? We have seen him
:08:07. > :08:10.on Twitter. The statement coming out earlier today was a bit baffling. He
:08:11. > :08:13.was going to blame the Democrats even though it was a Republican
:08:14. > :08:17.Party problem. Republicans have majority and could not get it
:08:18. > :08:22.together but he said the Democrats are obstructing, he is going to try
:08:23. > :08:26.and blame them. I do not know if that works short-term or long-term.
:08:27. > :08:29.What I think will be interesting is if there are some moderate Democrats
:08:30. > :08:35.to put forward plans to want to try and fix ObamaCare, rising premiums
:08:36. > :08:38.are a problem and in a lot of state we have Democrats in difficult
:08:39. > :08:43.re-elections next year tried to play ball and say we have to do something
:08:44. > :08:47.to compromise but it does not look like anybody is in a compromising
:08:48. > :08:50.mood right now. Both sides are frustrated at what happened.
:08:51. > :08:54.Democrats are happy and see it as a victory. Where does it leave the
:08:55. > :08:59.rest of President Trump's agenda? You mentioned tax reform and he
:09:00. > :09:05.needs to work with Congress on these things. And he needs to get his
:09:06. > :09:09.party together. He has to decide as well as the Senate Majority Leader
:09:10. > :09:13.if they are going to move away from ObamaCare, just say that we could
:09:14. > :09:17.not get it done and move on to tax reform or infrastructure reform.
:09:18. > :09:21.They are the other big priority is the president has put forward. I
:09:22. > :09:24.think there are worries about tax reform, being able to do that
:09:25. > :09:28.without ObamaCare but maybe you go ahead with a simple tax-cut,
:09:29. > :09:32.something popular on both sides, or you do something bipartisan on
:09:33. > :09:35.infrastructure reform, something important to a big state senators
:09:36. > :09:44.with crumbling roads and bridges. But that is going to be TBD. I give
:09:45. > :09:45.very much for joining us. -- thank you very much.
