From the New York Times I Michael Varvara. This is today House Republicans. Finally, everything they want: Control of Congress, a republican president and healthcare plan, so why, as they had to have today is the bill so disliked and the parties divided and a view from the sea of yesterday's deadly attacks in London. It's Thursday March. Twenty third action at birth good morning, we start back in the summer of two thousand nine. The current tax treatment of healthcare, which relic of world war. Two discriminates against the self employed. Against the unemployed and against those people who do not get health coverage at their jobs. This man worked in America when everybody had the same job throughout their lives and to other careers that South America we have today nearly a year

for President Obama sign his plan for reforming american healthcare. Thirty nine year old up and coming congressmen. Paul Ryan introduce a republican plan to overhaul the same sex. You see we already spend twice as much purpose. On Healthcare in America than all the other industrialized countries the answer Take the money were already spending and spend far more efficiently, far more effectively to reflect dynamics of the twenty first century, so that this centre, of this system is not politicians and bureaucrats, making the decisions. The centre of this system is patients in their doctors, making the decisions, but back then Democrats had control of everything, and it was their vision of healthcare that was enacted by

answer in our government and we're going to read it out almost as soon as it passed. Republicans voted to repeal it more than sixty times and every time they failed, so they waited for newly seven years. Then, last night and again this morning I spoke with President Elect Donald Trump, and I congratulate him. Great victory in a single night. We talk about the work ahead of us everything changed and the importance of bringing this country too, Other pariah would now seem to have everything he needed back in two thousand nine. So why, as the house votes today on the republican Healthcare plan, is its fate so uncertain? We were so. Where are you if they haven't funny to set priorities? Five phonebook, so I guess you can go and have a private conversation Minero landlines. There is a certain wouldn't affair. Yeah I reached MIKE

Jennifer Stein, how're in a phone booth in the? U S, Kapital Monroe's, when a virtual hello thanks for coming on cause. I know it's an incredible. Busy down idle. My provider talk to me about how Republicans are getting used to the idea of being in charge. So how speaker Paul Ryan like say we ve got to stop being a party of opposition. We ve got to be a bold I'll turn a party for opposition parties and made a target, opposition and they departed. It runs thing we need to find common ground where we can find it to advance the nations interests, and we can do so in this actually been quite a difficult transition for a lot of how to public and to make roughly two thirds of the House Republican Conference had never served under republican president

They are trained and schooled, and some ran on the concept of running against Democrats and the Obama agenda. So now they ve got republican President, who ostensibly shares their agenda to do what repeal and replace the affordable care, and it's just that Europe really I was they can pull it off Jennifer. I think this might be best if we break this down in terms of teens, can you roughly give me the names of three, maybe even for

Teams here among the house, Republicans and who they are key players are at the moment there is obviously the key players. Paul Ryan Majority Leader, Canada Party leadership, came in. There came a fold, the republican conference not enough to pass a bell, but a large swathes of members from all across the country, hooping aching to repeal Obamacare and the President of United States candles and said we all made a promise, the american people, and we need to keep our promises and we keep our promises. People reward us. If we don't you propose, it will be very hard to manage. This, then came to would be super and there is welcome senator, what's wrong with this bill. I think it's basically Obama Caroline keeps who would like to go back to a time preyed upon a care or whom we light to mine five Obamacare down to both thereabout. We do not agree with the fundamental three or four things that Rhine has subsidies, taxes, mandates and insurance bail out? That's Obamacare! We don't want that. Then you have a group of so called mired in mice.

I have seven are thousands people who were included in the Medicaid expansion, and probably told one point: one million people who have who now have coverage. I won't understand how these people are going to be impact, and at this point those questions have not been answered satisfactorily to me. They are concerned about how to escape, will be gaelic and calculated their districts and how this will possibly punish them in their re election efforts and indeed the vast majority of all both team.

Get to start out with you so Jennifer? Let's talk about these factions in a little more detail, starting with Paul Ryan, why did Ryan create such an unpopular healthcare plan? What their hearts Republicans decided to do? We try to go ahead and pushed this thing. Rail thanketh fill the basic agenda of repealing beforeblacker rack and they didn t take the time and energy to build a broad coalition on the hill doctors. Don't like it. If you don't like it, association is actively pushing against it, and insurers have been lukewarm, if not negative, on top of which you have all kinds of traditional republican group heritage upper growth. These groups that give financial support to members

actions the dont like the bill, because they think that it's not going to improve and surely brooms may think at least Fisher Terminal Increase, ensured improvements which I think will be difficult for a public into trying to run for election in the house in the Senate and, ultimately, president drop, so you ve got conservative groups. Obviously you have democratic, liberal groups. You have professional groups against it. There's no coalition there unless it will really hard when you're trying to pass him think is difficult as any type of healthcare bill. Ok, so let's talk about how the position among house Republicans is breaking down. Let's begin with Republicans like Mark meadows, who is Mark Meadows and Donald Trump, We are not at odds. We want to make sure that we repeal the affordable care and replace it with something that drives down health care costs guy for North Carolina in this doesn't do it was a very republican, desperate reflecting the views of a lot.

Our core Republican, who would like to see far less government, will certainly the health care system, and I would call him the somebody which is not to buy the way dismisses understand a policy or of his intellect, but he is among group of lawmakers brand. If you well as to vote now, it is time that the representatives STAR representing the people that they will allow Did you a pole and protest? They just like to be in opposition that loved being an opposition, obviously the Democrats and obviously to present a bottle, but then also relish being in opposition to the establishment waited at their party government. This, the government by the governor. When do we start focusing on some of them tried to get rid of speaker bare and they ultimately succeeded least voted against the speaker in previous years date. They just love being the opposition is our position. Well, freedom is that this plan, the current plan? Does it

far too often do give themselves a name right, while corporate and caught the Freedom House, freedom Caucus- and they do me they have their own rules on their own a cure, Pacific ways of voting together and when they buy the block when they dont, but as a block, they have a weekly meeting called conversation with the conservatives. Were they invite the media and to discuss various issues sketchy? Yes, they usually serve chicks delays and hemisphere. So very hard tried very hard to be irrelevant, thorn in the side of the speaker and succeeded. So what do freedom caucus members Freedom caucus members, like Congress and meadows, say about this particular republican healthcare bill. Now, if it does not do enough to say that every money When a man, then you know, but you know you ask me: what does a house framework is never want her to know, because I move the goalposts unusual vote no anyway. This is that some people, both at you

The John Boehner would get into where he would listen and he would try to do some things to appease them. I don't know which is vote against him anyway. So when you are a block, the power of the vote, one individual member, not the park. Voting together, powerful sue? Then there's a congressmen like Charlie Dent with what's gonna happen with his health care laws. This parts of it need to be repealed. Parts of it needs to be replaced. Parts of it need to be overhauled and reformed. Who is Charlie down and other parts will be maintained. He will probably got himself as a centre right applicants from Pennsylvania. Who has constituents who are obviously in order by care, and he would to repeal. The light was Republicans would, but he wants to do in a way that is not particularly fully on board, but everything the Paul Ryan wanted to do so. He wants to reflect the needs of his state, and that would be something that protects people who are in the Medicaid programme currently

and that has structured in a way that, if you are losing their healthcare insurance, the tax credits are sufficient, particularly for groups of older Americans, who are too young to qualify for Medicare but have low enough incomes that they been able to benefit from pillar them. Medicate programmes and these lower income Americans, who are not quite Medicare eligible, are huge concern a lot of Republican, so President Trump met with many of these moderate house, Republicans on Tuesday and Usually the power of a present in this case might be to issue threats and cajole, but These were moderates and they may not really care. Voters main are really care, would present Trump may threatened or not threaten them to do so. What do you mean

think present. Trumps message to this particular group is one. President Tromp met with the so called accused a group which are a group of they call themselves centre. Right of my Republicans, and other emotion listened, to their concerns. He didn't try to arm twist it's different than how was in the morning when he came to the capital and really press members conference wide meeting kind of men. Threats of primary challenges and really a jolt on his way to vote. For them. This is much more like the problem with that method. Is the President by all accounts people met with him, does not get into the the policy to these very specific applied there making may not have resonate with him, and you know some of these members Trump Partner State Shore, wonder district. The thing is better than he did there did he had better state and when the president has won at thirty, seven percent approve wearing right. Let's not necessarily a scary hammer issues to hammer it's a hammer, so we

about these conservatives, who just can't get behind this end talked about these moderates, who just can't get by Miss you had to say of tromp that he was a member of one of these factions. Where would you put him, I can't put him anywhere because he still continues to campaign as a populist and he filled his cabinet with conservative right and then he sends out a budget that neither right how he he's he's people's Tromp Republican. That will mean something at some point. Really definitive. Just like we had Reagan. Democrats Trump, Republicans, it'll have a meeting were not quite there. Yet. What the well known Republican can define him he's defining them, and what team is Donald Trump on Donald Trump does wants to win he's not interested in the name of the players at the charities. He just wants to see

or more light. They trump one sirs Obama, girl the bill. I will ultimately mentally sign that will be a bill where everybody He's gotta get into the room and we're gonna get it done, we'll get rid of Obamacare admit. Health care better for you and for your fan and you know no mistake appear and the couple who are dying to have a unified answer the agenda with the present it adds days. They want this marriage to work. They want them to work biggest need their partner to engage a little more more communication, Michael, like a deluge, exactly Thank you. Folks, Jennifer,

Thank you very much. Good luck in the report Can bill needs two hundred and sixty nine votes to pass today on Wednesday night, one hundred and forty eight Republicans had said they would likely supported twenty seven. Said, they would not, and six he too were undecided, had concerns or not said how they vote will be right back unable to get to the salon these past few months, you may have for the fate of your hair into the hands of an amateur or worse, your own pay changes, and always pretty especially in the markets. But I share is eighty: ask: can help you embrace it by helping you do more for your portfolio, indifferent markets, so you can start building a future that looks better even if your hair doesn't check out, I sure, as dot com, to learn more. I shared, invest in something bigger.

Just after two thirty this afternoon, Tara returned to the streets of London in the first stage of a two pronged attack, a car ploughed into pedestrians on Westmere to bridge the car, traveled around the corner crashing into railings outside the houses of parliament, where the drive Apparently armed with two knives attacked a policeman before being shot by armed offices. Both the policemen and his assailant died. So you know we heard about it when we were now offices and immediately grab my by cycled down there, and I was there before three was clock me. This happened around two forty, my colleague and then hold lives in London and is reporting on Wednesdays attack? I talked to eyewitnesses who the describing a sort of people littered across the blacksmith bridge and then that one person and been killed, I'm very near the railings itself. There was a group of students who, in a three of whom, from France, actually three of whom were

One woman who, who is bleak befallen plunged into the camp and very clearly, and I am struck about, is actually the stoicism. You know that the World WAR, two motto that one during the german empire mentally blitz, do the work and keep calm and carry on which is defined, Britain's everything that kind of a caricature of such imperfect, but it was really unimpressive displayed day and after the first and Mitchell Panic had subsided people would this getting on with it, and I want them. You know one woman, for example, on the new stand which have been ordered to prefer family Cornelia under gears. Kirsten hurl was telling me that she pretty much thought the car careering across the cycling and into the ratings of of parliament's right, underneath big bang and after her she felt about it. She with one called being ready to survive. I said: will you panic where you afraid- and she said no

none of the above. She said I lived through the irae, so there's a pity that it must do so much already but they need to pull together now and and get on with it. I was struck myself by receiving email from parliament itself this evening about how the blog into how the common goals set at normal tomorrow, but I think the Moorish find there is a sense of solidarity and Londoner about repaying were standing together and the premises with amazed that today the attackers struck at the heart of the city and its true. He did get pretty close to the country of british government, which, I think was a shock to a lot of people was right there. You know the symbol of power and pride the cod and went down several people on the bridge crashed into the railings right underneath big Ben, I mean there is no more than that.

A monument is London, like the Eiffel Tower apparent right when you think of anything with London. You know the one thing quite struck by the good we ve been focusing on black sudden he's got a very politically polarizing times were in right now, I'm and today was a day for all its strategy that actually humanised a kind of centre of government here which have been in the kind of wedding and stir the book a byword for the distant elite. Don't understand ordinary people quite in the same way that Washington DC probably isn't right, daybreak and today, with the images of a member of parliament to be as Albert, actually trying to resuscitate the police group and stop. You know with blood on his face in his hands on a human being, with various Mps giving their current, up the scene, because there were right there, an experience that I think it was a moment and probably won't last they really do.

But it was a moment where the country could come together and where divisions that have been on such display in recent weeks and months were actually buried. Under that simple solidarity, I thought that was quite striking, while tomorrow morning, parliament will meet as normal. We will come together as normal and londoners and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great city we'll get up and go about their day as normal, and we will all move forward together, never giving in to terror. British police are calling this a terrorist attack, the most serious in London since the deadly subway bombings. In July, two thousand five british Minister Teresa may has said that the attack was carried out by just one man, the assailant killed by per he's outside of parliament

here's what else you need to know today on his third and fourth, and all day of testimony in front of the Senate, President Trump Supreme Court nominee Mule corset face tough questions about his work. For former President George W Bush after the September eleventh attacks My question is: what information did you have that the bushes straightens aggressive interrogation techniques or effective at the height of war on terror course. It was a lawyer for the Bush administration, as it wrestled with controversial questions about abuse of detainees and torture, and senator I'm working on twelve years of passage of time. Here. Some of my memory is what it is not great on this, but my recollection you're, very young, well accepted I'll, take it. Of course it is testimony is now complete the Senate.
