Caddell: Senate Healthcare Bill ‘Dead as a Doornail’

Pat Caddell joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Wednesday to discuss the Senate healthcare bill, as well as the fallout for CNN as Project Veritas released undercover video of a CNN producer admitting he thinks the network’s Russia coverage is “bullsh*t.”

Said Caddell on the healthcare bill, “I think the thing has been badly, badly handled on the Republican side and the White House particularly in terms of laying predicates down, making the case on Obamacare and having a bill that explained what they were trying to do, which is unclear to me. But we’re not having that.”

Continued Caddell, “The White House and the Republicans have lost this debate. They’ve lost it to the Democrats and the mainstream media and there will be no balanced discussion of it.”

“I think it’s dead as a doornail at this point,” he concluded.

As the GOP’s Senate healthcare reform bill struggles to gain momentum, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) punting a vote beyond his previously stated July 4 deadline due to a lack of support, it seems the public is even less enthused than Republican lawmakers.
An AOL News survey released Wednesday found that the bill remains even less popular than ObamaCare, with 58 percent of respondents saying they would prefer to stick with President Obama’s unpopular Affordable Care Act over the Senate’s replacement.

In a devastating sign of Republican lawmakers’ inability to sell their legislation, only 28 percent of those polled said they preferred the GOP bill, while 14 percent said they weren’t sure.

The AOL survey didn’t find better news for House lawmakers back in May when it polled the House version of the bill — finding that 60 percent of those polled had an unfavorable view of the bill, with just 31 saying they favored it.

Democrats have universally opposed the bill, while a number of conservative lawmakers, including Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have come out in opposition to the bill, saying it doesn’t go far enough in repealing ObamaCare and bringing healthcare costs down.

Some conservative commentators have also opposed the bill. Ann Coulter called the bill “ObamaCare Lite” Tuesday and said voting for it was like “buying Golden West Financial right before the crash.”

Moderate Republicans such as Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) have also opposed the bill, after the Congressional Budget Office said that 22 million people would lose insurance if the bill was passed.

McConnell can only afford to lose two Republican votes to get the bill through.

Well then they all should provide sound recommendation because soon Iowa and Indiana residents won't have health insurance.

I love that the the new health care bill is dead. I hope it stays that way. In another year or two, O'Care will implode and hopefully that will be the end of national healthcare. Of course, it will be Trumps fault, but it will still be known as O'Care, not Trumpcare, and it will be known as a failure.

I keep saying national healthcare, government healthcare, is not new.

If any one person who voted on any healthcare anything would just look at how badly medicaid and Medicare have been handled, they would have seen it.

Medicare AND VA healthcare.

Why why why does ANYONE think having the government in the medical business is a good idea? They obviously do not have a good track record.

I think that encouraging insurance companies to be competitive may be a good thing. Also not allowing hospitals charge extravagant prices.

If I remember correctly, part of the new bill was that folks would still be penalized for not having insurance.

Why can they not understand that this small piece is a really big problem to a big portion of people?

 That's my biggest issue with all of it.

I think subsiding hospital buildings to keep bills down would be a much better idea. They charge a ridiculous amount of money just to stay in one. Get rid of that particular expense and "hospital bills" would go down dramatically. And make them charge market rate for stuff and REQUIRE an itemized bill be presented. The hospitals charge like pentagon contractors - a bandage is not $10.

And a hospital building, I think, is a public service.

There are ways to subsidize and regulate that don't require invasive government interference.

I've been in hospitals that are more like malls, there are other non medical business offices in them. They have shopping and restaurants in them.

I wonder if that helps offset costs?
