host: we have special phone medicare recipients. split them by e region and eastern or central 2027487000 and 2027488001. it -- to helpful explain how medicare drugs are by the federal government before we see how to change. the medicare prescription program is currently administered by private flames -- programs and they negotiate for the price,and there are built in rebates they have to pay to the government required by law. but the argument in favor of aving the whole program negotiate with drug companies is a much bigger baying block and -- buying block. whether it would drive prices lower and you would reinstructwilling it some that it covers and you can see for obvious reasons why that risky.e politically host: forth only talking -- not nly talking about it on campaign trail but the opening days of the administration. firsts sean spicer in the press conference on monday of last week we asked about prices.ption drug [video clip] >> you heard the president talk drugs and rice of need to get those prices down back in manufacturin

or increase the medicare -- medicare or increase the medicare eligibility standards. it would also prevent changes to medicaid that reduce state funding from current levels. passing this amendment would send a clear message to seniors and working families that congress is serious about protecting their access to quality, affordable health care. i urge all of my colleagues to support the hirono-donnelly amendment. i yield the floor to senator donnelly. mr. donnelly: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. donnelly: madam president, i rise today in support of the amendment senator hirono and i are offering to protect medicare and medicaid for the millions of americans who currently count on these programs for health coverage. this week some of our colleagues are beginning the process of repealing the health care law. i want to be clear. i don't think it's a perfect law. in fact, i've long agreed with many of my colleagues in saying it has work to do. the and for years we've put forward ideas on ways we can work together to improve it. the r

i hear from one side that medicare is okay, then the other side says unless something is done, medicare is going to go bankrupt. which one is true? or is it in the middle? and the first lady, people forget that the insurance companies and doctors went to the white house and made deals with obamacare -- with obama. so that's why these insurance companies can jack up the prices, because obama's allowing them to do it. >> on the question of medicare, i do think in terms of whether the program is financially solvent or not, that depends which party you ask. it's not going bankrupt anytime soon, but republicans would point out that unless you make some structural changes, over the long term, it could start to run into financial problems. i don't think that there's been any indication that republicans are actually going to address medicare in the near term. the affordable care act is going to be a big enough problem and a big enough debate for them to try to get through over the next year or so. and to your point, i do think something to watch in the debate over the aca is how industry reacts

the affordable care act, medicare and medicaid. the republican plan to cut health care wouldn't make america great again. it would make america a sick again. and lead to chaos inside of affordable care. republicans would create chaos in the health care system because they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. they have no idea what to put in place in the affordable care act. for years they talk about repeal, but for five years now they have had nothing to put in its place. it all starts with the aca. as we all know, the aca is a delicate balance. president-elect trump even express support for the three most popular parts of the law. preexisting conditions, allowing young people to stay on their parents insurance until age 26. equal treatment for women. but republicans will soon learn that you can't keep the good parts of the aca and removed the rest of the law and still have it work. that is what they are struggling with and that is why they are not getting anywhere. but they would do would throw the entire insurance marketpla

if that is the case, why that happen in medicare? what is this business about to ress not wanting negotiate the price? host: thanks for the question. yes, the your point, veterans affairs department has drug eeway to negotiate prices under current federal law. he reason that is has a long complicated history, but i think that one of the things that is mportant to remember is often veterans can get private insurance even if they can't get a benefit or a drug through the v.a. so we i talk it people they pointed out the distinction although democrats will make the you did we do there in one another. why not the other thing to keep in mind is the drug companies and i congressional republicans would argue the private market works and we plans and w private drug companies to negotiate amongst themselves and we don't the federal government involved. host: we have suzanne waiting in hudson, florida. medicare recipient. host: good morning. how are you? well.r: doing go ahead. caller: the reason i'm calling almost 50 and i have pain issues. ha

it extended the solvency of medicare. it expanded medicaid. it is very important to america's families. all politics is personal. schumer talked about the 75% of the people that get their benefits in the workplace, that is so. it is the lowest it's been in years. increased the benefit package. no lifetime limits, no and to limits. of being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition. in fact, many more people are who did not have access before. the most privileged person in america has better health. everyone needs health. everyone is in the loop. nearly thing it has going for it is alliteration. they have no replacement plan because they don't have the votes for a replacement plan. delay is and then act of cowardice. and it recognizes the consequences of just straight out repeal without some replacement. values debate and it is very personal. a friend of mine just told me his grandson was diagnosed with leukemia. that child will have a pre-existing condition for the rest of his life. repeal is a problem. lifetime limits is a problem. almost

if they go there and as long as they are medicare- >> they have to be medicare certified. there is no- >> the patient sends the bill then to you? >> the facility should bill united healthcare. >> that's it. >> any other questions? >> you mentioned there were a couple of personal care transition issues. i think you were going to monitor your ongoing discussions to make sure providers were urged to participate and i don't know if you have any broader feeling about that in the first couple weeks. y i don't. we have gotten a couple request sfr provider outreach. we have been able to reach out to them and they are willing to accept the plan. i just continue to urge members to contact customer service or health service system and we need to know who they are and can make the outreaches as necessary. >> again i think a concern was that a lot of the primary care providers probably do accept the plan, but the referral pattern may not know what they refer to a cardiologist or rheumtolgist so make sure the process is transparent. >> right. >> i want to take the moment to thank you on

one is medicare for all. the other is the idea that every american has to be in the system and the idea based on personal responsibility which had its start was an republican idea when president obama adopted it, for many months some republican senators were willing to go along but then the politics overtook them. and since then we've had the republicans opposing their own proposed model for providing health care. so rather than repeal and replace, since there's no replace it is repeal and run. here's the problem for our colleagues politically but more important here's the problem for all americans and all our constituents. no one is going to be able to hide from the devastating consequences of undoing the affordable care act which is going to hurt not just the 30 million americans who are directly benefiting through the exchanges and the medicare expansion, medicaid expansion but also all the seniors on medicare and the others in the private -- getting health care through their private employers. now, as i s

ending medicare as we know it, converting medicare with government subsidies. correct or not crack. >> not cracked. >> we talked yesterday my office and by the end of the conversation, you admitted to me that your plan for medicare, in terms of people getting either tax credits or subsidies or however you're going to pay for the medicare recipients would be them having choices on a private market. you said yes it was pretty similar to obamacare with the exception of the mandate. didn't you say that to me yesterday. >> that's a fairly significant exception. >> these people are old. it's not like a 27-year-old who doesn't think he's going to get sick. you don't need a mandate for people who are elderly. they have to have insurance so the mandate is not as relevant. didn't you admit to me that obamacare and the private market is very similar to what you're envisioning for medicare? didn't you use the phrase, pretty similar. >> there are some similarities but i think what i said was that the mandate was significant. >> the mandate is significant in obama care, but

it is also having an impact on medicare. the affordable care act extended the solvency of medicare. it expanded medicaid. this is very important to america's families. in this case, all politics is personal. talks about the 75% of the people who get their benefits in the workplace -- that is so. they are affected. the increase in premiums is the lowest it has been in the 50-some years they happen tracking. it has contain costs. it has increased the best package in terms of pre-existing conditions. no lifetime limits, no annual limits. being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition. .he package is better the rate of growth of costs decreased. many more people in short. the 20 million people did not have access before. most every person in america has better health. the republicans say repeal and replace. the only thing that has going for it is alliteration. they don't have a replacement plan because they don't have the votes for a replacement plan. to repeal and then delay, that is cowardice. it recognizes that the consequences to them of just straight out repeal without some re
