Speaker 1: Yet another Obamacare repeal went down in flames thanks to
Speaker 1: Republican Senators John McCain, Susan Collins, and others. And it
Speaker 1: should not be apparent to everybody that there never was
Speaker 1: any desire to repeal it. Senator Collins, a main blamed
Speaker 1: her opposition on proposed Medicaid cuts. She said that it
Speaker 1: was unacceptable to make structural changes without hearings. Her thumbs
Speaker 1: down came to spite. Senators Lyndsay Graham's and Bill Cassidy's
Speaker 1: offered to bribe her to boost federal healthcare funds for
Speaker 1: her state by to win her boat. She still said no.
Speaker 1: Democrat Leader Chuck here Schumer is gloating. He says, once
Speaker 1: the repeal bill is officially off the table, the Democrats
Speaker 1: will work with Republicans to bail out Obamacare. That means
Speaker 1: the insurance companies. He wants to find a compromise with
Speaker 1: Republicans that stabilizes healthcare markets. That's the insurance companies. That'll
Speaker 1: mean higher premiums, not lower. You watch now, for years,
Speaker 1: I've told you what compromise means. In Washington, Republicans fall,
Speaker 1: and after they cave on their principles, they joined Democrats
Speaker 1: to enact whatever the Democrats wanted in the first place.
Speaker 1: So here we are. Republicans control the majority of state governments.
Speaker 1: They control the House, they control the Senate, they control
Speaker 1: the White House and the agencies of the federal government.
Speaker 1: And the Democrats a losing party. It barely elect local
Speaker 1: dog catchers, but they control the Republicans and their agenda prevails.
Speaker 1: It's surreal, but that's just the way it is. Voters
Speaker 1: be damned.
