00:00You already have two no's in your caucus, Rand Paul, Ron, Johnson.
00:06Are you open to changing the Medicaid work requirement language in the bill
00:11or the health care provider tax language in the bill to address the concerns raised specifically by Mr. Murkowski, Susan Collins, Josh Holland?
00:19Well, we are in conversations with all of our members, including the ones you just mentioned.
00:25And as you heard Dr. Oz say, the provider tax, state-directed payments are important reforms.
00:32And we think they rebalance the program in a way that provides the right incentives to cover the people who are supposed to be covered by Medicaid.
00:41But we continue to hear from our members specifically on components or pieces of the bill that they would like to see modified or changed or have concerns about.
00:51And we're working through that.
00:52But at the end, I mean, the goal, as you all know, is to get 51 here in the United States Senate and 218 in the House.
00:58And so ultimately, that's the math that I'm working with, that we're all working with.
01:03We want to get a bill out of the Senate, through the House, and on the President's desk.
