So I’m talking about a hypothetical world in which the bill is defeated. Is there anything else policy-wise to improve the American health care system? For instance, Sen. Warner talked to me about reviving the “copper plans” on the exchanges.

Ed Markey
First, the principle thing is, we have to keep all the funding, and if they don’t agree on that, the whole thing is operating on a flawed premise.

I don’t understand [about the copper plans. Aide interjects: “He’s got to run.”]

it's called that because you'll be stripping the copper from your house to pay the deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses

How do you use it more effectively and efficiently? Can you have savings within? Absolutely. Can you have a better productive lifestyle? Can you have a better productive workforce? Absolutely.

At the rate we’re going right now with the opioid crisis, we’re going to run out of workers.

The argument you hear from the left is that it’s important for Democrats to have a proactive agenda for health care too. And there are 30 million people who still don’t have health insurance, and people have seen their premiums increase by more than 100 percent.

Carolyn Maloney
We’re in the minority. Guess what? We’re just fighting to save health care. They’re repealing it; they’re repealing it. So right now people know where we stand — we passed the Affordable Care Act, and we’re supporting it. And we’re fighting for its existence.

rich want more unemployed as it lowers labor costs, just not too much that the plebs all revolt and elect people who will tax them more

If they fail to retake the house it'll be an enormous defeat, so yeah, that's our baseline scenario at this point.

I can't fathom any way the dems can lose in 2018. But this has never stopped them from losing before.
