Even most Trump supporters agree with us on this. Donald Trump himself just said he wants to make it better. And it is only Senate Republicans who are standing in the way. Senate Republicans have refused to even sit down and negotiate over health care cuts, even though thousands of their constituents will see their costs go way up. For example, In Alabama, about 447,000Americans will see their insurance premiums skyrocket. In Alaska, about 24,000Americans will see their insurance premiums skyrocket. In Arkansas, it's about 144,000Americans. (01:00–01:14)
