Unable To Kill Obamacare, Republicans Plot To Kill Medicare

SO THE REPUBLICANS JUST LOST THEIR EFFORT TO CUT
MEDICAID BY OVER $700 BILLION.
THEIR HEALTH CARE PLAN WENT UNDER.
IT HAS FAILED COMPLETELY.
SO WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY RELEASE A NEW PLAN THIS
MORNING NOT HAVING TO DO WITH HEALTHCARE BUT THEIR
OVERALL BUDGET PLAN TO LISTEN TO WHAT IT DOES.
THIS IS AMAZING DON TUESDAY MORNING, HOURS AFTER THE
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL HAD PULLED THE
PLUG ON OBAMACARE REPEAL BILL THAT IMPOSED A MASSIVE
OVERHAUL AND MEDICAID, THE HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE UNVEILED A
10 YEAR BUDGET BLUEPRINT THAT WOULD SEEK TO TRANSFORM AND
PRIVATIZE MEDICARE.
WHAT?
I AM NOT TOO SURPRISED BY THAT BUT I AM A LITTLE SURPRISED
BY THE TIMING.
MAN, THEY HAVE A SET ON THEM.
THEY LOOK TO DESTROY MEDICAID.
IT DOESN'T WORK.
IN FACT
IN THE RECENT ABC NEWS WASHINGTON POST POLL, THEY
GAVE PEOPLE A CHOICE.
THEY SAID DO YOU WANT TO SUPPORT MEDICAID AND HELP POOR
AMERICANS, NOT MIDDLE-CLASS.
THIS WAS FRAMED IN A WAY THAT IS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD FOR THE
REPUBLICANS, THE QUESTION WAS.
DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP POOR AMERICANS
WITH THEIR INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH MEDICAID?
IT
CAME IN AT ABOUT 67%.
THAT IS AN UNBELIEVABLY LARGE NUMBER.
THAT IS TWO THIRDS OF AMERICAN SAYING YEAH, I WANT TO HELP
POOR PEOPLE.
I DON'T WANT THEM DYING ON THE STREETS THAT WAY, TO BE
FAIR WHAT WAS OPPOSITE CHOICE?
THE OTHER CHOICE WAS CUT TAXES AND IT DIDN'T SAY TALK CUT
TAXES ON THE RICH.
IT HAD JUST CUT TAXES FOR EVERYBODY.
THAT WAS DOWN TO 20, IN THE 20S.THEY SAID NO, WE
DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
WE DON'T WANT TO CUT TAXES, WE
WANT TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR POOR PEOPLE.
GOD BLESS YOU, AMERICANS.
THIS IS WHY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE PEOPLE GET DOWN ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO BECAUSE WE
ELECTED DONALD TRUMP.
THAT WILL STAY WITH US FOR A WHILE.
THAT WILL LEAVE A MARK AND BUSH TWICE AND YES THE REPUBLICANS
CONTROL EVERYTHING NOW AND YES, THEY SPEND AN OVERWHELMING
AMOUNT OF MONEY TO TRICK YOU GUYS WITH TV ADS, ETC.
I
UNDERSTAND THAT BUT WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT THE ISSUES AND THE MEDIA
SO AT FAULT HERE BECAUSE THEY NEVER TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE
THEY STAND AND THEY LET THE ADS DECEIVE EVERYONE BUT WHEN
YOU ASK ABOUT THE ISSUES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACTUALLY
ARE GREAT.
THEY SAY NO, WE SHOULD HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.
WE SHOULD HELP ONE ANOTHER.
WE SHOULD BE A COMMUNITY, WE SHOULD BE A FAMILY AND WORK
TOGETHER.
SHOULD WE KEEP HELPING ONLY THE RICH?
NOTE THAT EVEN IN THAT QUESTION IT DOESN'T EVEN SAY HELP
THE RICH.
SHOULD BE HELP YOU ARE THE POOR, THEY SAY POOR OVERWHELMINGLY.
2/3 OF AMERICAN SAY LET'S HELP THE POOR.
I TRUST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THAT SENSE.
WE JUST GETTING THE MONEY IN A POLITICS OF THEY CAN
ACTUALLY FIND OUT WHO THE HELL IS ON WHAT SIDE WITHOUT ALL
THE DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING.
THEY DON'T WANT TO CUT MEDICAID.
YOU KNOW WHAT POLLS, ONLY TWO THINGS PULLED BETTER THAN
MEDICARE THIS COUNTRY.
SOCIAL SECURITY IS NUMBER ONE AND MEDICARE IS AT 70%.
THE REPUBLICANS GENIUS IDEA WAS WE CAN'T CUT THE THIRD MOST
POPULAR PROGRAM IN AMERICA.
LET'S CUT THE SECOND MOST POPULAR.
LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILS HERE.
THE BLUEPRINT INCLUDED A PROPOSAL TO TURN MEDICARE INTO
WHAT REPUBLICANS CALL A PREMIUM SUPPORT SYSTEM, A LONG-HELD
DREAM OF HOUSE WEAKER PAUL RYAN.
UNDER PREMIUM SUPPORT, ENROLLEES WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO
RECEIVE OUTERS TO PURCHASE PRIVATE INSURANCE INSTEAD
OF USING THE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE PROGRAM.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD PRIVATIZE AND EVENTUALLY
COMPLETELY ELIMINATE MEDICARE.
THE WHOLE POINT OF MEDICARE IS THAT IF YOU ARE ABOVE 65,
YOU ARE GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE.
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT.
IF YOU JUST TURN INTO WHAT THE REST OF US HAVE, THEN THEY
WILL BE MISERABLE LIKE THE REST OF US.
WE'RE ALL WORRIED ABOUT OUR HEALTH CARE.
WE'RE ALL ON PINS AND NEEDLES ABOUT IT AND THE PREMIUMS KEEP
GETTING HIGHER.
WE WANT TO BUY INTO MEDICARE.
RIGHT NOW MEDICARE IS AT 77%.
THE IDEA OF ALLOWING ALL AMERICANS TO BUY INTO MEDICARE,
MEDICARE FOR ALL, NOT EVEN BUYING IN, THE
GOVERNMENT WOULD MANDATE THAT WE ALL GO TO THE MEDICARE SYSTEM.
REPUBLICANS SAY OF COURSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT
THE GOVERNMENT TO MANDATE THAT, DO THEY?
YOU ARE WRONG.
THEY DO.
50% SAY YES.
MEDICARE FOR ALL.
IF YOU COULD BUY INTO IT, THAT WOULD GO WAY UP.
LISTEN TO MEDICARE, IT WORKS.
THAT IS WHY IT IS SO POPULAR.
THE NEW SYSTEM ISN'T ANYWHERE NEAR PERFECT BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO
TRUST ME ON WHETHER I THINK MEDICARE WORKS.
WE ALREADY ASKED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
GOOGLE IT RIGHT NOW.
POLL AFTER POLL AFTER POLL.
IT HAS NEVER POLLED LESS THAN 70%.
THE REST OF US ARE SUFFERING TRYING TO GET INTO MEDICARE.
YOU ALMOST WANT TO GET OLD YOU CAN GET IT AND THE REPUBLICAN'S
NEW PLAN IS NO, LET'S RIP IT UP AND PRIVATIZE IT.
WHY?
MY DONORS HAVE TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
MY DONORS ARE THE ONES THAT WOULD WIN FROM PRIVATIZING IT
AND
I WOULD GET TO LOWER THEIR TAXES.
IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR ME SO I WILL NOW TRY TO DESTROY THE
SECOND MOST POPULAR PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY.
LOOK, IF YOU ARE A VOTER OUT THERE, FIRST OF ALL, IT IS
ON YOU.
IF YOU WATCH THIS, YOU CAN GO RESEARCH EVERY PIECE OF IT
FOR YOURSELF ONLINE.
YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM TELLING YOU THE EXACT TRUTH ON THIS
AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO THEN GOD BLESS.
GO MAKE
WHATEVER DECISION YOU WILL.
THERE IS A BLUEPRINT.
I HAVE TO BE ON HERE TODAY, RIGHT?
WE KILLED HEALTHCARE.
HOLD ON.
SAVED YOUR HEALTHCARE, KILLED THE REPUBLICAN HEALTHCARE
PLAN.
IN THAT BLUEPRINT, THEY WILL KILL MEDICARE SO NOW THAT YOU
KNOW, IF YOU LIKE MEDICARE, DON'T VOTE FOR IT.
AND IF THE MEDIA TELLS YOU IT IS 50-50,
I CAN'T TELL WHO IS IN FAVOR OF MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, WHETHER
IT'S
DEMOCRATS OR THE REPUBLICANS, THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.
IT IS VERY CLEAR WHO WANTS TO CUT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
AND WHO DOESN'T.
