Time to say good morning to ABC's Jordana 136 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: Miller in Jerusalem, So Jordana as the ceasefire continues to 137 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: hold and hopefully more aid is getting into Gaza and 138 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: people are being allowed to go back to what's left 139 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: of their homes. We're apparently supposed to take Israel's word 140 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: for it because they're not letting any journalists in to look. 141 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 7: Well, it's the same issue amy that has plagued international 142 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 7: foreign reporters and their coverage of Gaza since October seventh, right, 143 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 7: that is that the Israeli government has not let foreign 144 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 7: reporters into Gaza at all. Initially, during the combat in 145 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 7: the two two years, it looked like the High Court 146 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 7: sided with the government and it's claim that it was 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 7: just simply not safe, though many you know, I think 148 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 7: all journalists would disagree with that as a justification for 149 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 7: keeping them out. Journalists have been covering, you know all 150 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 7: you know, the many previous major conflicts right that you 151 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 7: know that would be on the same level as this war. 152 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 7: But now the real problem is that we're in a ceasefire. 153 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 7: Right there hasn't been active combat for two months, and 154 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 7: still the Nataniel government has not opened Gaza in a 155 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 7: way that would allow foreign reporters to go in unfettered 156 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 7: and you know, walk around either the Israeli controlled side 157 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 7: or the Hamas controlled side and talk to people right, 158 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 7: talk to every day Gozzen's, talk to NGO workers, talk 159 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 7: to children, talk to mothers. You know, it's just not happening. 160 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 7: We're still having to rely on local Palestinian reporters to 161 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 7: tell us what's happening, to give us the pictures, to 162 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 7: give us the interviews, to get people in front of 163 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 7: a screen so we can talk to them live sometimes 164 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 7: on zoom. And they've done an incredible job. Nonetheless, foreign reporters, 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 7: you know, want to get in and have unfettered access, 166 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 7: and so far the government has continued to ask for delays. 167 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 7: The Supreme Court said that the Nataniel government has to 168 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 7: submit their position on letting journalists in or justify why 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 7: they won't and we're waiting and waiting for that.

Right right now, 185 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 7: there's a storm here in heavy rains, so I think, 186 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 7: you know, Gazans are facing flooding and cold conditions. And remember, 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 7: you know, seventy five percent of the buildings in the 188 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 7: Gaza strip, homes and otherwise have been damaged, A big 189 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 7: portion of those destroyed, and so a lot of Gozens 190 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 7: are living in tents which simply don't provide enough shelter 191 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 7: during the winds and the rains. So they're they're facing 192 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 7: a really harsh The last few days have been harsh, 193 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 7: and this storm that came over front through Greece Byron 194 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 7: is supposed to you know, just there's supposed to be 195 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 7: a downpour of rain continuing for the next several hours. 196 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 7: So it's it's been really it's been really hard for 197 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 7: Gossens and the aid issue there are you know, the 198 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 7: the there's six hundred to eight hundred trucks of aid 199 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 7: getting into the Gauza Strip. Uh, you know, almost on 200 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 7: a daily basis since the ceasefire began. But remember Amy, 201 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 7: and we talked about this so much during the war, 202 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 7: there's still a problem with distributing aid right across the 203 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 7: gauds of strip. Right, you still need all the all 204 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 7: the ways to transport it to the north and other areas. 205 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 6: Right. 206 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 7: So there is aid getting in now in the numbers 207 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 7: we saw during the previous ceasefires, but it's just not 208 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 7: getting where it needs to be fast enough. And you know, 209 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 7: there there's a hangover, if you will, of all the 210 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 7: malnutrition and disease that spread during the war. Right, they're 211 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 7: still in dire straits.

Okay, so remember the show 266 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: Calendar Girls. I think that's the first time I ever 267 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: saw Helen Mirren and instantly fell in love with her 268 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: as an actress. Well, there's a small town in Oregon. 269 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: It's in Lakeview, which I think is around Klamath Falls 270 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: in southern Oregon. 271 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 5: I should know better. I'm from there. 272 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: And they have had some mismanagement issues and they've had 273 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: some corruption, and so they're having budget problems and they're like, 274 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: how are we going to raise money? And they tried taxes, 275 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: and then they said, well, well let's think outside the box. 276 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 5: A little bit. 277 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: So they decided that they were going to raise money 278 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: to be able to properly clear snow from the streets. 279 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: So this is money that's going to snowplows. So they 280 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: did the only thing that they thought they stripped. It's 281 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: a group of mostly middle aged and elderly men and 282 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: women who have volunteered to pose nude for a calendar 283 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: to raise money for Lakeview.

LA 507 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: Fire says its has Met units were called in to 508 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: monitor air quality and water runoff because of the bus's 509 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: lithium ion batteries that just had to be allowed to burn. 510 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: No kids were on the bus at the time. The 511 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: driver was treated for smoke inhalation. The La County Board 512 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: of Supervisors has asked for a new public awareness campaign 513 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: around animal abuse. Supervisor Hilde Sally says there are growing 514 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: concerns about animal abuse among the homeless population, especially on 515 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: LA's skid row. Being an unhoused pit owner in and 516 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: of itself is not a crime, and there are many 517 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: unhoused individuals who are excellent pit owners, But she says, 518 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: she and other elected officials have been inundated recently with 519 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: calls of concern over the conditions for animals in homeless camps. 520 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: The new campaign would explain what abuse is, how to 521 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: report it, and how homeless people can get help with 522 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 1: their animals. 523 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 5: Time to get in your business, as we do every day. 524 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: Today, we're talking to Bloomberg's Alexis Christophoris. Alexis another twist 525 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: in the bidding war for Warner Brothers Discovery, which is 526 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: a big deal in southern California. 527 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: President Trump has something to say about it. 528 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, you bet we could have bet on that one, right, Amy. 529 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 9: So President Trump is signaling here that he's going to 530 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 9: oppose any deal that does not include new ownership of CNN, 531 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 9: and we know that the President has long complained about 532 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 9: that network. 533 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 6: Now, this could hurt Netflix's bid. We know that. 534 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 9: You know, Warner Brothers Discovery already said yes to that 535 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 9: Netflix bid, but it does not include Warner Brothers cable 536 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 9: properties such as CNN. So Paramount Skydowans may have a 537 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 9: leg up here because it's CEO David Ellison apparently said 538 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 9: they want the whole company. Okay, they want the cable 539 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 9: properties as well as the studios and the streaming service. 540 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 9: And David Ellison has reportedly promised President Trump that he 541 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 9: will bring in sweeping changes at CNN if he gains control. 542 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 9: But you know, Netflix and Paramount are waiting to hear 543 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 9: from Warner Brothers. I think they're going to hear something 544 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 9: in about eight days or so. They're going to say 545 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 9: they say they're going to make their decision and recommendation 546 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 9: for shareholders. So more twists and turns to come, I'm 547 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 9: sure between now and then. 548 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: Okay, let's switch to Amazon, which is planning a new service. 549 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 6: And when is it not is really the question. 550 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 9: So it's reportedly developing this rush pickup service, that's what 551 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 9: it's calling it, Rush Pickup Service. This is going to 552 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 9: let customers collect orders that they ordered online from their 553 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 9: stores within an hour. I mean that's pretty good. I 554 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 9: can't imagine they would have all of those products in 555 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 9: the store. 556 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it, and that they 557 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: can even do same day delivery. I did a coffee 558 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: maker in it CA like three hours later. I was like, 559 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: how does that even happen? 560 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 9: I don't know. It's insane, but that's what they want 561 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 9: to do. And they're going to have a pilot program 562 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 9: on this thing. They haven't said the city they're going 563 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 9: to launch in yet, but it will happen early next year. 564 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 9: So and also, I mean, do you have an Amazon 565 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 9: store near your house? I mean mine's not that close, 566 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 9: but I mean it's another option, okay. 567 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 5: And Oracles stock is taking a hit. 568 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, and that could drag other tech stocks lower today, 569 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 9: So it's down about thirteen percent here in the pre market. 570 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 6: It came out with earnings. 571 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 9: They were really good on the surface, but they were 572 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 9: not good enough. Sometimes it's just not good enough for 573 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 9: Wall Street. So there was a thirty four percent jump 574 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 9: in their cloud revenue. Wall Street was hoping for better. 575 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 9: Just investors are worried in general that these companies are 576 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 9: spending too much on AI, on artificial intelligence data centers, 577 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 9: and they're not yet seeing the benefits. So you know, 578 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 9: sometimes good just isn't good enough for Wall Street. And 579 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 9: I think Oracle's an example of that today. 580 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: Okay, And by the way, I just googled it and 581 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: there's actually an Amazon facility right here in Burbank. 582 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 6: Who knew there? You go, Yeah, you can do this 583 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 6: thing when it comes to you. 584 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: Alexis Christopherus with Bloomberg, thank you so much getting in 585 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: your business like we do every day. 586 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 5: At five forty, I. 587 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: Want to say congratulations now to Donna Buxton from Villa Park. 588 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: Donna just scored herself a pair of tickets to enchant La. 589 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: You're going to be enchanted. I'm telling you. 590 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 5: It is so cool. 591 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: And again, if you want to take a sneak peek 592 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: at it, see some of the lights and some of 593 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: the fun things that you can do that will definitely 594 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: get you in the holiday spirit. It's on my Instagram 595 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: at Amy K. King, and of course I would love 596 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: it if you followed me. A federal judge's ruling calling 597 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: for National Guard troops to be removed from LA and 598 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: also to return control of the Guard to Governor Newsom 599 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: goes into effect Monday. There are just about one hundred 600 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: troops still in LA following immigration protests in June. The 601 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: White House says it will appeal the FBI in LA 602 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: is released a new photo of wanted drug kingpin Ryan Wedding. 603 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: The former Olympic snowboarder for Canada, is on the FBI's 604 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: ten most wanted lift wedding a list. Wedding is accused 605 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: of trafficking drugs through Mexico and southern California and also 606 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: orchestrating several murders. Still growing, no jackpot winner from last 607 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: night's Powerball drawing. You know what that means, more money. 608 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: That pushes the next drawing for Saturday night up to 609 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: an estimated one billion dollars. We're just minutes away from 610 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: handle on the news this morning. Mountain lions in southern 611 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: California may soon be more protected. Bill's going to tell 612 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: you about that right now. Let's say good morning to 613 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnoy's Stephen, time is running out for people 614 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: with ACA subsidies. Is Congress making any progress on coming 615 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: up with a new plan? 616 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 4: I mean not substutely. 617 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 10: What you'll see today is a couple of votes that 618 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 10: indicate that each side has a plan, but neither's going 619 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 10: to meet the sixty vote threshold. So I guess we'll 620 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 10: just watch it all fail. We could talk about what's 621 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 10: in each proposal, and you know, let's let's do it. 622 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 10: Let's let the people know what won't happen. The Democrats 623 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 10: say that the way to address the expiration of the 624 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 10: COVID era subsidies that have made the Affordable Character Plans 625 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 10: more affordable over recent years is to extend the subsidies 626 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 10: for three more years, and that will come at a 627 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 10: cost of eighty three billion dollars according to the Congressional 628 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 10: Budget Office, but prevent these skyrocketing premiums that people are facing. 629 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 10: Twenty million Americans who don't get health insurance at work 630 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 10: who buy it on the open market are facing the 631 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 10: sticker shock, the real stress of how they're going to 632 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 10: maintain their healthcare coverage without the federal support. Republicans say no, no, No, No, 633 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 10: it's too expensive. Eighty three billion dollars a year. No, 634 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 10: this is a COVID era plan. COVID is over and 635 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 10: it's time for these subsidies to end. And no, because 636 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 10: there's nothing that fundamentally changes the overarching problem, which the 637 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 10: cost of medicine in this country continues going up, and 638 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 10: there's something that ought to be done about it. So 639 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 10: what are the Republicans propose? Their proposal is to put 640 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 10: money cash into health savings accounts for people who buy 641 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,239 Speaker 10: bronze or catastrophic plans in the open market. What does 642 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 10: a bronze plan cover sixty percent of major medical which 643 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 10: means you've got to come up with the other forty 644 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 10: percent after you hit the deductible, which is thousands of 645 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 10: dollars a year. 646 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: Which is one of the problems with the Affordable Care Act. 647 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 10: Well, I mean, arguably the Affordable Charact makes it possible 648 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 10: for you to buy those plans. But the problem that 649 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 10: Republicans see is that the costs are too high because 650 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 10: there's nothing being done in the system to address the 651 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 10: rising cost of health care. What they propose to do 652 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 10: is put one thousand dollars into these health saving accounts 653 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 10: for people under the age of fifty and fifteen hundred 654 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 10: dollars a year in the health savings accounts for people 655 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 10: fifty plus just shy of Medicare age right fifty to 656 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 10: sixty five. And the argument is, if people only want 657 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 10: a bronze plan or a catastrophic plan which they might 658 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 10: be able to afford, that they can use the fifth 659 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 10: teen hundred dollars to cover their costs until they then 660 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 10: need to spend their own money to meet the deductible. 661 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 10: Democrats say it's a phony proposal, it's a junk plan 662 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 10: that people. It really doesn't help people. People really need 663 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 10: the help, and this isn't going to put them in 664 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 10: a better position. It's going to put them in a 665 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 10: worse position. And it's still going to cost tens of 666 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 10: billions of dollars a year. Well, Republicans say yes, but 667 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 10: it puts the power in the individual's hands. They can 668 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 10: buy coverage that would cover them. It gives them some 669 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 10: measure of support and coverage through the first fifteen hundred 670 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 10: dollars out of pocket. And that's number one. That's better 671 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 10: than nothing, which is what they're going to get because 672 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 10: this isn't going to pass. And two, it also allows 673 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 10: people to have a bit more control over their health 674 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 10: care spend and they can really focus on what they 675 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 10: perhaps might need most and make choices based on their 676 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 10: own economics and all this. Democrats say that is such 677 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 10: a terrible way to look at it, because people can't 678 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 10: control their own health circumstances. That's why they need insurance 679 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 10: in the first place. Because people, as they get older, 680 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 10: they have health problems, and it costs a lot of 681 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 10: money in this country to solve those problems or to 682 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 10: address them. And anyway, around and around we go on 683 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 10: the merry go round. 684 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 5: Okay, So I have a question for you. 685 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: So that we know that the health care subsidies that 686 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: were put in place during COVID to help people get 687 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: through understandable they were supposed to sunset. Everybody agreed, maybe 688 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: not everybody, but the Democrats even agreed on that. So 689 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: my question is, were the premiums as high as they're 690 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: expected to be if the subsidies aren't extended before they 691 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: were put in place. 692 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 10: Make no, no, yes, I understand your question. The point 693 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 10: is premiums continue to rise, and not just in the 694 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 10: affordable exchanges Affordable Care Act exchanges, but also in the 695 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 10: private market. 696 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 6: For employers. 697 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 10: Healthcare keeps getting more expensive every year in this country 698 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 10: for reasons that are at once simple but also impossible 699 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 10: and confounding. Right, Look, we have inflation, you have new innovations, 700 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 10: You have major you know, advancements in medicine that make 701 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 10: it possible for us to get shots that all of 702 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 10: a sudden, you know, the weight just comes right off, right. 703 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 10: That costs money. And doctors go to school and they 704 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 10: take out tremendous loans to fund their education, and then 705 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 10: they get out of school, they become very well practiced 706 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 10: surgeons and other things. 707 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 5: And they expect a high salary. 708 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 10: And the middlemen had themselves with profits, which is we 709 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 10: are a capitalist society, and you know that drives innovation, 710 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 10: and everybody wants more money every year. So those costs 711 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 10: keep going up, and why should there be a government 712 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 10: control on those costs? Many would argue, why, you know, 713 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 10: wouldn't that stifle innovation? Wouldn't that make it harder for 714 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 10: us to achieve the greatest possible health care in the world. Sure, 715 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 10: but nothing's free. So again, around and around we go. 716 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 10: If there were simple solutions, we would have found them 717 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 10: by now. 718 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So then you said that both of the 719 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: the stuff that's going before lawmakers today, it's not going 720 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: to pass. It needs a sixty vote threshold in the Senate, 721 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: it's not going to get there. So this is asking 722 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: for your opinion. Isn't it political suicide for the Republicans 723 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 1: not to do something before these to do something, I mean, 724 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: because they're going to get blamed for it. 725 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's increasingly you're hearing Republicans acknowledge that they 726 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 10: have a problem. You know, whether it's Marjorie Taylor Green, 727 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 10: who was the first outspoken Republican to draw attention to 728 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 10: this issue months ago and say, the Democrats may have 729 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 10: a point. And then you have a number of brank 730 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 10: and file House members, some of whom are actually leaving 731 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 10: the House, who say, hey, folks, the real solution here 732 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 10: is to extend the premium subsidies. But the leadership is 733 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 10: not on board. And so you really may see a 734 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 10: rift on the GOP side with some Republicans who say 735 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 10: this is going to cost us in November. The people 736 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 10: will remember and the Democrats are certainly ahead of Republicans 737 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 10: on trying to figure out a way to address the 738 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 10: concern that millions of people have that this is costing 739 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 10: too much money. The problem is, again there's no agreement 740 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 10: between the in both houses of Congress on how to 741 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 10: address this problem of increasing cost and the only solutions 742 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 10: are are ones that nobody really wants to get into 743 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 10: because it involves perhaps either increased federal spending deficit spending 744 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 10: on a thirty seven trillion dollar debt driven mainly by 745 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 10: health care costs, or managed care or you know, ration care, 746 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 10: and anyway, like I said, if it were easy, we'd 747 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 10: have a solution by now. 748 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: Absolutely, okay, ABC, Stephen Portenoy, thanks so much for the info. 749 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: As always, you bet it's just such a sticky wicket. 750 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like anybody's gonna win on this. But 751 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: you know what, I won because you listened to wake 752 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: Up Call today.
