i want people to think about before obamacare, not during obamacare, before obamacare. >> all of the uninsured people who had no access to health care. but here's what we do know. obamacare enrollment for 2018, 11.8 million. it's stunning. that is only a 4% drop from 2017 despite the trump administration's cutting the budget, shorter term enrollment period. we know 16 states increased their enrollment from last year. and according to ap analysis, 60% of enrollees live in states that president trump carried in the election. >> right. so the idea here is, this administration continues to try to winnow down the group of people who are in the pool for insurance, which makes them much higher risk, which makes their premiums go up. we'll keep a very close eye on this as we have been doing. what happens to those of you who don't get your insurance through your employers, like we do and like most americans do? that's the problem. it's not a big group. but they're a vulnerable group. >> we know a couple of employers want to fix it, amazon, berkshi berkshire, jpmorgan, they're taking a run at

people in texas want to see obamacare left in place. 1.1 million people enrolled. >> obamacare promised to do a lot of things. none of it came to pass. i think paxton is right. a good time to do the lawsuit. the republican tax plan removed that mandate which was the only thing holding up this obamacare as constitutional. in fact, people are looking at the tax plan itself. when you take government out, when you inject competition into the market and get rid of mandates, the public is served better. companies grow, people prosper. so why can't this happen with healthcare? i think taking big government out and introducing price transparency and competition will make healthcare better. good for them for trying once again. >> sandra: a busy news morning. thank you for being on this morning. >> bill: jon scott is coming up next with a preview of "happening now." good morning. >> good morning, bill. president trump saying he will ban bump stocks while lawmakers struggle to agree on what congress can do about gun violence. deputy press secretary hogan gidley joins us live and white house commun

trump has been chipping away at obamacare. in october, he signed an executive order allowing insurers to sell low-cost health insurance with fewer benefits. it took effect tuesday. allowed small businesses -- and directed agencies to consider changes to health reimbursement arrangements. they gave employees more flexibility with company contributions. separately including in the tax bill was the individual mandate repeal. combined these actions may serve to deprive obamacare of what it most needs: young, healthy participants. >> suffering from adverse selection. people are joining the exchanges if they they are heavily subsid or if they have a health condition where they can get pretty good premiums. >> critics say chipping away the law is coming at a cost. >> we have seen efforts to undermine coverage. driving up premiums for the middle class, people with pre-existing conditions. >> does it mean a death spiral from obamacare? >> the basic structure of the laws there. >> because congress hasn't been willing to stem its funding

short-term plans are cheaper than obamacare, costs as little as 20% of the cheapest obamacare plans. that's because it excludes americans with pre-existing conditions. it does not offer comprehensive coverage like maternity care, prescription drug or mental health benefits. insurers can now also limit how much they pay out, meaning costly medical emergencies could leave consumers paying out of pocket. advocates and industry groups worry this move will hurt obamacare. they claim the cheaper plans will attract the younger, healthier consumers, driving up obamacare premiums for anyone else. the administration pushed back on that concern claiming estimates show only 200,000 healthy enrollees will make the switch, adding that these policies are designed to fill a temporary gap in coverage. watch this space. >> health care dwight continues. >> sure does. >>> president trump's son, don jr., is in india this morning. ethics questions are following him because of meetings that he's holding out there. what don jr. says about that live from delhi next. you won't see these folks at the post offi

we can look at obamacare and when people were asked, the polls have shown the different elements in obamacare, they liked them. when they are talked about as a whole as the affordable care act, they liked it, but they hate obamacare. a professor in irvine has done studies where he showed one group of people a picture of a portuguese water dog. jfk had this dog and president obama had this dog. depending on what he told who the dog belonged to, the level of cuteness of that dog differed. even though it was the same dog, obama's dog was less cute than kennedy's dog. this has nothing do with policy and dogs, but once you stick a race on something, it's devalued. is it possible to talk about racialized policy and still get it past or is the only way to get good policy passed is to talk about it in a color blind fashion? >> i agree with what you said because we have to be cautious about the impacts of policy, but perhaps not really focus so much on the labels and on who it benefits and not an elevated way that. does tend to invoke and activate thatresentment. i referenced the research that talked

one of the key in critical assumptions of thes presidents budget is a repeal of obamacare. the budget bakes into this appeal and replaces it with the state -basedtr grant system. the initiation estimates this would save more than $675 billion that is a with a b. many of on the committee, all of us on the public inside, share this desire toba repeal obamacae we have actually done great work on rolling back major elements of the so-called affordable cae act. this congress starters are text from bill zeroed out the individual mandate tax and recent budget bill the so-called medicare extenders and repealed the independent payment advisory board and in that same bill we extended previous delayslu on other obamacare taxes including medical device tax the health insurance in the so-called cadillac tax. as a budget points out we are not quite there yet and i hope we can take additional steps in the future and i look forward to continuing our discussions on how we can stop the skyrocketing cost of care and a governed way. beyond the critical repeal and replace efforts we also need t

the major tax cut, and that included the repeal of the individual mandate for obamacar obamacare. a major move in a pushing back it, pulling back regulations, the nomination and confirmation in the supreme court, a record number of anomalies that were confirmed to the court of appeals, the second level of courts in this country, below the supreme court, and successes against isis and iraq and syria. so we also expect him to announce today, a new set of sanctions, they are going to say the biggest ever against north korea. you know, there is some question. we have maybe sanctioned out. there are so many things that they have done over the year to and pose sanctions. at that the era of the strategic patients is over, and we are going to put pressure on after these feel-good winter olympics. >> sandra: of this, of course, the speech by the president, second year in a row, there was a raucous speech that he delivered there. he got this crowd going. do you expect -- do you expect the president to go off script here? sort of give us a classic version of himself, and attack a lot of the

charles: why did the obamacare plan and democrats think this was a bad idea in the first place? in a capitalist society more choices mean better quality and lower prices. >> absolutely right about that, insurance costs 25% as well as full aca compliance obamacare plan. for many of our customers over half, they can't afford it so short-term, limiting the short-term to 90 days was hard on consumers. charles: if this plan goes into effect can you sort of give us a portrait how it would actually impact a typical person out there particularly younger folks having trouble, forced to take plans they did not have coverage, how could this impact their lives? >> this should help the population get insured. this is the problem for the marketplace, heavily uninsured, they don't need all the insurance obamacare, they opted out of the insurance market. typical short-term plan cost $110 a month, well within the budget of most young working americans so we this will increase the total number of people insured. the problem with obamacare, 12 million people have gotten in short, 28 million americ

, let's tax reform vibrating obamacare into it. but we made the case, both publicly and privately, the individual mandate, every year the irs fines about 6.5 million people because they cannot afford health insurance. roughly one million of those in texas, roughly 80% or and $80,000 -- earn $50,000 year over last. working twongle mom jobs, you're not even making $25,000 year. you cannot afford health insurance because premiums have skyrocketed and to add insult injury the irs finds you. led bill clinton to call obamacare one of the craziest things in the world. it is about the only time i ever agreed with bill clinton, other than about hillary.
