Politics Of Health Care Could Be Ticking Bomb For Republicans | MTP Daily

THE TWO PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO SPEND $30 MILLION FOR A
GUARANTEED 18-MONTH STAY IN WASHINGTON.
WE BEGIN WITH AMERICAN POLITICS. IT IS HEALTH CARE.
IT BATTERED DEMOCRATS IN 2010. IT SET THEM ABLAZE BEFORE THEY
PASSED A BILL IN THE HOUSE AND THIS IS JUST A SAMPLING OF THE
SCENE FROM TOWN HALLS IN AMERICA AFTER HEALTH CARE PASSED THE
HOUSE. PARK ARE WE STOOD UP AND SAID
THE PLEDGE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WHY SHOULD IT MATTER WHAT STATE I WENT IN?
>>> ARE NOBODY DIES BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.
>> IF YOU ARE GETTING YOUR INSURANCE THROUGH MEDICAID.
NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. >> TODAY THE SENATE'S SUPPOSED
WORKING GROUP ON HEALTH CARE, WE WILL GET TO THE SUPPOSED IN A
MOMENT. THEY WORK ON THEIR VERSION OF
LEGISLATION AFTER THE HOUSE PASSED THEM THE HOT POTATO.
AIDES GAVE REPORTERS A LIST IN THE WORKING GROUP.
IT CAME UNDER FIRE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T INCLUDE A SINGLE WOMAN.
MITCH McCONNELL'S OFFICE SAID NO WOMEN WERE BEING ADDED.
HOURS AFTER MEETING WITH THEM, McCONNELL TOLD REPORTERS THAT
WORKING GROUP, THAT WORKING GROUP DOESN'T EXIST.
>> NOBODY IS BEING EXCLUDED BASED UPON GENDER.
>> THERE ARE NOT ANY WOMEN. >> YOU ARE NOT RIGHT ABOUT
WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WE ARE HAVING DISCUSSION ABOUT THE REAL
ISSUES. EVERYBODY IS AT THE TABLE.
EVERYBODY. >> THERE ARE NO PLANS TO ADD A
WOMAN? >> THERE IS NO PARTICULAR
WORKING GROUP. THE GROUP THAT COUNTS, ALL 52 OF
US HAVE LUNCH EVERY DAY. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND
THURSDAY. EVERYBODY IS AT THE TABLE.
>> FOLKS, THE POLITICS OF HEALTH CARE CAN BE A TICKING TIME BOMB
FOR THE PARTY IN POWER. THAT SAYS IT ALL.
SURF'S UP FOR A WAVE ELECTION. THE HEAD WINDS FACING THE PARTY
LOOK DAUNTING. THERE IS THE ISSUE OF HEALTH
CARE AND DEMOCRATIC GROUPS LIKE SAVE MY CARE ARE TARGETING HOUSE
REPUBLICANS WITH A BORAGE OF A DID, S.
HERE'S A SAMPLING. >> THIS CONGRESSWOMAN VOTED FOR
A REPEAL BILL AND VOTED TO RAISE YOUR COSTS AND CUT COVERAGE FOR
BILLIONS. SHOW VOTED YES EVEN THOUGH IT
MAKES COVERAGE UNAFFORDABLE TO PEOPLE WITH PREEXISTING
CONDITIONS. HOW COULD DO YOU THIS TO US?
>> THERE YOU GO. YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT, ALL
OF THOSE DISTRICTS WERE DISTRICTS THAT CLINTON CARRIED
AND REPUBLICANS MEMBERS HOLD OR TRUMP BARELY CARRIED.
THERE IS THE ISSUE OF THE PRESIDENT, BY THE WAY, WHEN IT
COMES TO MID-TERMS. THEY HAVE THE LOWEST APPROVAL
RATINGS IN THE 30s AT LEAST AT THIS POINT IN THE CITIZEN.
THE FIRST MID-TERM RESULTED IN A LOSS OF HOUSE SEATS EXCEPT FOR
ONE. INITIALLY IT IS REALLY HARD FOR
ONE PARTY TO MAINTAIN FULL CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT.
THE BOTTOM LINE, IF THIS WERE AN ORDINARY PRESIDENT IN AN
ORDINARY CYCLE, THERE WOULD BE REASON FOR REPUBLICANS TO PANIC.
THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY PRESIDENT AND THIS IS ANYTHING
BUT ORDINARY. COOK WRITES THIS, THE KIND OF
WAVE THAT IN PAST DECADES MIGHT HAVE
