CBS News : reported that Republicans blame bill, not Trump, for health care defeat

After Mr. Trump first leveled the accusation on Twitter, the story from the White House changed, with Mr. Trump's spokesman saying the alleged eavesdropping may not have involved a telephone. Almost two-thirds of the Americans surveyed by CBS News say the FBI should investigate the claimed links between the Trump campaign and Russia. Among Democrats, 67 percent said the Russian meddling was aimed at helping Mr. Trump. His approval ratings – 33 percent overall but 60 percent among Republicans in the CBS News Poll -- are not as high as President Trump's. WiretappingMost Republicans say they think it's likely that Mr. Trump's offices were wiretapped during the campaign.


Bill aims to address high health care costs


Bill aims to address high health care costs
The Carmel Democrat's SB538 targets a relatively narrow slice of the health care sector. It would ban certain contracting practices between large health systems and insurers that some patient advocates say lead to higher costs for consumers. Legislation by state Sen. Bill Monning aims to alleviate a long-standing problem in Northern California: consumers paying higher prices for health care because of a lack of competition among regional hospital systems. Market consolidation in health care has long concerned antitrust regulators, lawmakers, consumer advocates and patients in California. Much of this is because Northern California is dominated by a few large health systems, like Sutter and Dignity Health, according to the analysis.

Trump says health care deal is "going to happen very quickly"

Less than a week after the Republican health care bill suffered an embarrassing failure in the House, President Trump told Republican and Democratic senators who joined him for dinner at the White House that they were going to make a deal on health care. "Because we've all been promising — Democrat, Republican, we've all been promising that to the American people. "That's such an easy one, so I have no doubt that's that's going to happen very quickly," Trump said during brief remarks to welcome Senators and their spouses to a bipartisan reception featuring the U.S. Army Chorus. So I think a lot of good things are going to happen there," he added. "We'll talk about infrastructure, we're going to talk about fixing up our military which we really need — there has been a depletion — and we're going to make it so good and so strong," Trump said.
