from that point congressional district of florida punishment answer
congresswoman thank you so much for joining us for a power attic executed
arts it's good to have you here so now of course a lot of discussion about what
can get through the houses for sale is concerned
obviously apollo adoption is the focus arabs and get a hall was saying that
uh... that baby
he thinks that they have two hundred eighty most for medicare plus five
percent
that that is the latest version that that
there supporting do you think he's right about that boat out first of all
well i think there are more than two hundred votes
and the activity of the democratic caucus for a public option perfect for a
robot public option
dole and the other bachelor two eighteen
but i'd
gilead it gary picnic at that we are at over two hundred that supportive about
public option
right now of course all over
this central issues here is what we mean by robust public option
one of the different choices in the house but generally at we could find
better about public option
body
flying at the medicare part five for that that generally howell
a the definition of roebuck petty top
right and are you on board for that
aliya happily supporter route that you know about public option
but if medicare but five or or any could be the father public option that we can
pass
which
ideally would be based on medicare rate and and
arguably
predicted the motivating
evacuate the
with the uh...
type of public option and i think
alright and what is slow
leadership courses and
uh... weaker version will will you vote against that
that you know i'm not going to fight it appeared at that point i will book i
want to try to recap the most significant health care reform that we
can that we can pack
i'm
you know at that point not issuing any alternative to leadership are all
working very very hard to make sure that we can include
the strongest possible public option in in our legislation that week up out of
the house
we want to be in a very strong position for the conference for the cockpit
committee with the senate which we think unfortunately you had a chance of not
having a public option in it
you know at this point with that but we are all part of
working towards
saw the public option we can get into our bill whereas i want to talk you
about that idea who i am means an important one visas is further some
would say in it seems that ribs and they're always going that direction and
strength
but we don't leave your position very very clear
and
dear able to a road that position that is not a good negotiation strategy to
say well negotiable right and up others have stood fast on many differences on
of course you stood fast on some issues in from one on the senate some other
issues including
budgetary controls and understandably hurricane katrina
why do you think it might sebab strategy in this case is
at applejack i don't want to jeopardize health care reform i'm not going to take
my ball in the home
it that everything will fit in
idiotic exhibit exactly the way i would like to be at the end of the day what i
want to do is i'm absolutely four a roebuck public option i'm for using
medicare rate it the majority of our caucus sorry for that and we're pushing
hard to make sure that we can get the votes
you that we need who
analytic epudu if it's going to be part of our job to deal with the cockpit that
hard as i can to get-together to adjudicate votes for roebuck public
option
is absolutely critical
that we passed health care reform before the end of fear and put it on the
president's desk and you know there are times when i wanted if it's appropriate
and times when we need to do maybe be a little bit more flexible because
larger goal it what that is what's important i'm not i'm not willing too
they you know
and i'm not i'm not willing to offer made him
when there's no that would potentially with making sure we could pass
significant health care reform so one of the corporate easter blue dog democrat
stand on it now are they this are they still fighting the medicare plus five oh
what is their alternative
was a chance of getting them on board profit working together the leadership
in is p very inclusive where having open discussions in property development
option are
you know we've got for practically everybody that the table that want to be
at the table and phil
there there's that no one really pushing for one particular option we we
we are all four
the people at the president obama laid out in his denied unit
adjoint address to to convert from that
to make sure that any health insurance covered everyone
that doesn't have coverage
provide security infidelity for those who don't have it and bring down the
overall cost
so we have been those broad principle
angelica dating little what we can get
like i said to look at making both
to uh... to pass
and our overriding goal is to make sure that the house bill view is in the
strongest possible position
four conference when we know obviously will at come out with a compromise if at
that point we're going to congresswoman debbie was initial south florida
what decide on the stand as what they will go strategy is for cost containment
not a blue dog back though i don't i couldn't really describe to you what to
do about that if you'd like to know that of course you have little to say i'm
just asking like in caucus and they say oh look good
he had to tell you are set of we had a great idea for cost containment alot
let's try to push it are they not even bother making the job that you know i've
been there a blue dog that need an and i've got another like the argument that
negotiated rate
is a more appropriate way to too
curfew a public option and that that is going through and that would definitely
be less
cost-containment that you would have higher costs in this post b
pro of fiscal responsibility i'm just trying to get a sense of what their
argument is that they say
however that does that justify lower-cost i don't get it
you know executive antonio opportunistic backed out of the doctor and so i don't
x
it hard and i'm not gonna clear about that without because i think their goal
area that we all have the bank all about bail out of your to get comprehensive
health care reform path
that it might be definitely have a blue dot on your show if they have a
defendant hotel right now i've got to do that but they're not so that's about
uh... one of the instances for assault is
this concern now the senate side they're talking about and opt out
or for a version of the public option
and uh... you know it sounds like it's an interesting idea are you for say are
you familiar with but with which you were
and corporate island it just introduced by the yesterday as an idea
no man i've heard of the trigger which i believe it's been talked about for a
while now but i have not heard
on anything about it not that the off that ideas and spring simple late you
get the ball up from a federal but
by the federal government but different states can opt out of the day at the
actively proactively opt out of it into the state legislature or maybe even a
referendum or actor the governor or a combination thereof
and that gives so you know read st
senators whether they're democrats or republicans i think that that that
leading that
that bait
they were not providing competition for that the tape competition and choice
or that american born of faith
i think that that's that's definitely a downside of that the other side of it is
it takes away all excuses and so if you say hey listen i am not couple
publishing grade in your state does not that only got nick delegation hank
bentley aware we have you know republican that i don't
apathetic and what time in hearing about that
i think you know it might be a belief that they have been a democratic and
republican
ben affleck irritate kiya split on the fat on senators
i mean uh... i wouldn't want to be taken it out with the with ref to my
delegation on which
shot on on who wins or whether we do adult to prepare the public option
at that they would want charlie crist denial to make the decisions on your
income immune our governor
but again today we've got
and about the people who died he teared
directly because they lack health insurance tank
and he'll i've been i'm not going to let forty thousand already picked out no
more people die from it because
i couldn't get everything i wanted on this
we've gotta make sure that we passed out of the house
feature wrong get possible
public option and it should be the real roebuck public option to speaker pelosi
who aren't quite literally tucked in kop attempted a hurt her
europe and in front of the room and and push the pocket
at heart she could make sure we have
ever about public option is part of our bill if we can be in a stronger position
grip of the planet
i am conference and uh... you know i feel confident that we are
but it could activation and
and that you are going to get what they can both make it happen you just
mentioned patterson close it is the grease 'cause receive up her as well and
i want to be just run up by you do
i believe the r_n_s_e_c_ funding that they are keeping and so i don't see
right exactly i came out and said that someone pays person spokesperson within
our group said
doma crystal should put mister close in our place
you think that that sounds good
abid anti women too
gossip eleven ordered hypnotic earlier that they were talking about the
antarctic the at the republican party
at the national republican party at the congressional but how congressional
armed political arm of the republican party
and yet they actually at that
that general eclipse that they could they hope the general cripple
but the speaker in her place
left how much effort the because played
it at the top of the house representative
obd to be quite
i think the uh... it with understandable
coming from a group of people
that are eighty percent mail
at a hundred percent out of touch
pep
and into this
miserable in party at this point with you know senator kyle's comments these
in regards to discussion had with
senator seven-hour about how he doesn't need maternity care and there's been a
number of
you know eight
is always a civilian yeah i know his offices today word a lot of women emma
lums showed up
save but we do need maternity care your job is also poda represent us of course
is that i don't look at the pattern and the republican party today you have
mikhail who think that
it's not necessary to make sure that we have maternity coverage insurance policy
because heat
can't get pregnant
you have dot mcdonnell
an
bridget in virginia who dorothy pippen actually that
if women damage family when they work outside the hall
you have quit crappy
image are the pics
republican nominee for governor there
whose said that it's ok prepare mandate three insurance policies
which would basically be that women couldn't get would wouldn't be able to
make sure they could get out that the mammograms anymore
or
because at a hospital ends up in twenty four hours after and effectively
or after eight or after birth
conduct that perfectly acceptable it's worth it
uh... that
the demonstration of how out of touch
i mean it
etc
by the alar
and the last several days
i'm part of the republican party has stepped in and and choc
so does the republican party have a one problem
i think they've always had a woman problem to be really out of the anak
to be at the evidence of that is dies
how democratic edit actively win the the the the women vote
um... and there's a reason for that because they
if they don't really seem to have much interest in recruiting women to run for
profit
don't have an agenda that appeals to women baby and in fact
that their agenda i think it much a part of offensive to women
uh... i don't know if you saw this bill o'reilly emily was last night with
michelle bachman said that
you democrats are threatened by bachmann in pale in because they're hot
and that this somehow that would kill the women more
that
who thought that though right
of head
again
that affected them
run as feet as fat advance
ever that that could have been left to dave in the republican party
even permeate bear there
on the air
that how do you know what to say that
at me what i think there is about it is he thought that somehow they yeah
appeal to women more
uh... and that's why democrats are afraid of them but they appeal to women
by being hot in kalter actually fed something similar that that it back and
culture i remember a critic died
credit it it
brought me into it at the few a few months ago and
said that the reason that i was critical of therapy alone with because
i would still with about about her luck
but
uh... if it at that time that democrats were democratic
photo at the profit country were coming to my parents because
yet that they've they were that because thereupon approx
agnes anything having to be having at the fashion about look when it comes
view
women elected officials and the important issues
that that that matter right now turning the economy around making sure that we
can
providing a pass comprehensive health care reform thinking sure that we uh...
investment alternative energy and really we knocked out of our part dependence on
foreign oil
both of the issues that you that those of the issues that are important for
women voters
and trivia life
what's important to women voters by
by projecting that
look is what matters
or projecting that like cryptic beaded that
