RUSH: Open Line Friday on Thursday. That means people can bring up whatever they want. Doesn\u2019t have to be anything in the news. We\u2019re gonna start with Emilio in Clinton Township — is that New Jersey? Michigan. Emilio, welcome. Great to have you with us, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. Just calling about what you\u2019ve been talking about all week long.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I mean, I have been listening to you every day this week, two and a half hours you\u2019ve talked about it, the next day, two and a half hours. Today you open the show the same way. You\u2019ve fallen right into their trap. That\u2019s what they want you to do, keep talking about this dumb stuff. Nobody believes it. I\u2019m a Trump supporter. I\u2019ve been a Trump supporter from Day One, and nobody believes what these people are saying, and this is liberal tactics. They hold on disinformation. This information was available out over a year ago. So they just wait at certain times so they can keep the people talking about this, talking about it, and forget about everything else. And Rush, believe me, I\u2019ve been around a lot longer than you, but I don\u2019t claim to know as much as you do. I\u2019m 84 years old, but I know how they operate. I know how the liberals operate, because I listen to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate it that, Emilio. I understand what you\u2019re saying. It bothers me too. I feel a compulsion, however, to straighten out the lies, the distortions, and the misinformation just in service to doing what I can do to maintain an accurate record for people who I hope I\u2019m arming with information they can use to refute anti-Trumpers they run into out there.<\/p>\n

Look, I\u2019m also in a rotten mood here, Emilio. I have been all week. I\u2019m not taking it out on you. So when you\u2019re in a rotten mood, you kind of tend to gravitate to stuff that ticks you off anyway \u2019cause you already are. But this stuff today and the media really think they\u2019ve got Trump on this, and I\u2019m trying to tell people why they think they do and how I don\u2019t think they do. I\u2019m just trying to give people information and ammo, if you will.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me tell you something else. I\u2019ve been listening to you for years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And everything you say I believe on. I agree with you \u2019cause you\u2019re the only thing that we have fighting for us. And this is what gets me, \u2019cause these people are —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you worried that I\u2019m being sidetracked? You think I\u2019m falling for this, you think I\u2019m being sidetracked —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, that\u2019s what I\u2019m worried about. That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m worried about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, what\u2019s out there that you think I should be discussing that I am not giving enough attention to?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we have the health care bill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We know what\u2019s happening on the health care bill. Nothing is happening on the health care bill. We know that. They\u2019re not gonna do anything on health care. They\u2019re not gonna change it. I know this. You know this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what\u2019s sad. We have to bring it up because if we don\u2019t do something this time, and I don\u2019t have that much time left anyway myself, I\u2019m 84. And I don\u2019t think, if we don\u2019t do it now, do something now, it\u2019s never gonna happen again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: This is, I think, my last opportunity to see the Republican Party do something.<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Let me tell you something, Emilio, you may not remember this, you probably do, though, because you sound like a regular listener. Remember when McConnell submits the first Senate health care bill and it comes back with a CBO score and it says 28,000 million Americans are gonna die because they\u2019re gonna miss their health insurance. And I posited a theory, because then McConnell said, okay, we\u2019re gonna go back again. I said, “What if McConnell purposely sent up a phony baloney bill just to figure out how the CBO\u2019s gonna score this thing and then later resubmit the bill in such a way that the CBO cannot do damage to it?”<\/p>\n

That may be exactly what\u2019s happened. If you listen to Rand Paul, and if you choose to believe him, what they\u2019re actually doing is enacting Obamacare lite, that they\u2019re not adopting any of the Cruz amendment in this so far. Now, John Cornyn thinks that Rand Paul is grandstanding and has said, “Well, I don\u2019t see any votes for what you want to do, Senator Paul. I do see other votes out here.” But it could well be that McConnell did submit a bill that would secure either a positive or not so bad CBO score.<\/p>\n

But if that\u2019s what he did, then what are we gonna end up with? If the CBO score of the latest health care bill is, “We love this,” what can it possibly be? So we\u2019ll have to wait and see what that is. But you can\u2019t find anybody more on the same page with you.<\/p>\n

I made mention of this yesterday during the two or three minutes I wasn\u2019t talking about Trumpgate about how the fastest way Trump could move past all of this is just to get this stuff done. Actually repeal and replace Obamacare, move forward with the tax cuts, build the wall or something that\u2019s equivalent, just do this stuff in addition to everything else he\u2019s doing on his own, and none of the rest of this stuff is gonna matter.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Trump had a joint press conference with this new kid that runs France, and he delivered another barn-burner, pro-America set of remarks. What this tells me is that the Drive-Bys will have to drop another bombshell scandal. That\u2019s the way this always works. Trump does something magnificently great and the Drive-Bys drop something shortly after.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Rush Limbaugh here on Open Line Friday on Thursday, which means whatever you want to talk about is fine and dandy.<\/p>\n

The first call today was from a devoted listener taking me to task for spending too much time on this stuff that you all know is BS, it\u2019s not true, and there\u2019s a little… not anger. You wouldn\u2019t call it anger, right? He was frustrated that I\u2019m spending more time on this than he thinks is warranted. I mentioned yesterday I was nervous about that. But there\u2019s something about this, folks, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

I resent being on defense every day. It feels like that has to be the standard modus operandi because the left is constantly attacking. They\u2019re constantly accusing. They\u2019re constantly alleging. They\u2019re trying to drive Donald Trump out of office. They are conducting a silent coup that is actually making a lot of noise. And I\u2019m sorry; I just can\u2019t sit here and say, “You know, I trust you all to get this. I\u2019m gonna move on to the mating habits of the Australian rabbit bat,” as an alternative topic. So it\u2019s a delicate balancing act. But remember what the new version of Limbaugh Institute is. It\u2019s advanced anti-leftist and anti-media studies. And these are ongoing illustrations of just how that world functions.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know if we should call it breaking news, on health care. Senator Cruz has announced that he supports the new Obamacare replacement bill. Cruz said that he will support it, which is a major boost for the bill\u2019s chances of passage in the Senate.<\/p>\n

This is from TheHill.com<\/a>. Cruz told reporters just now, just this afternoon, “If this is the bill, I will support this bill.” Now, he added a caveat. He said, “Now, if it\u2019s amended and we lose the protections that lower premiums my view could well change.”<\/p>\n

“An amendment from Cruz to allow insurers to offer plans that do not meet ObamaCare requirements was included in the new bill in a key move to win his support.” The Cruz amendment, by the way, we\u2019ve got an extensive interview about this with Senator Cruz in the next issue of The Limbaugh Letter,<\/a> which should be reaching you el quicko. And Cruz offered a multifaceted amendment here which initially was said to have quite a lot of support. His objective is to lower premiums.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now, in the Cruz bill — I don\u2019t know if this is true in the latest bill — in the Cruz proposal, there are three types of mandates: the personal mandate requiring you to buy insurance. If we broom that, that is a big chunk taken out of Obamacare. It\u2019s not a kill switch, but that\u2019s a big bite. Because the mandate that forced everybody to buy insurance was one of the funding mechanisms Obamacare used to come up with money to pay for the coverage of the elderly who might not be able to afford health insurance.<\/p>\n

The young were supposed to be the backbone of this. And so Cruz\u2019s bill eliminated — and I think not just Cruz\u2019s bill. I think the McConnell bill eliminated the personal mandate and the employer mandate. Both are crucial. The employer mandate is what led to more and more people being reclassified as part-time workers so that they would have less than a 30-hour workweek, which meant their companies did not have to cover them.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what a lot of businesses, large and small, did, was convert enough people to part time. The threshold number was 50 employees. If you had 50 employees, then that was the rule. They had to work 30 hours or more to get coverage. If they were part time, didn\u2019t have to cover them. Apparently both of those mandates are gone.<\/p>\n

The third mandate is the Title I mandate, the Obama essential health benefits. And these were the mandates Obama put in that required people to buy items in their insurance policy they would never use, like elderly people mandated to buy maternity coverage. That\u2019s just one example. They weren\u2019t able to remove the Title I amendments because of legislative reasons, and they didn\u2019t have the number of votes to win on a straight legislative vote.<\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t do it with budget reconciliation because of the construction of Obamacare. They would have to get rid of the mandates first before they get rid of the individual characteristics of the essential health benefits. But the Cruz amendment did succeed in providing a provision that will allow insurance companies to offer plans to consumers that do not meet all of those Obama essential health benefit requirements. And Cruz he said he couldn\u2019t support anything that didn\u2019t do that because it\u2019s the essential health benefits that kill this. It\u2019s the essential health benefits that keep premiums high. It\u2019s the essential health benefits that make no sense.<\/p>\n

The Obama mandates that everybody have a certain kind of insurance when they need it or not. Cruz\u2019s idea was to come up with a plan that would allow people to buy what they want! Pure and simple! Like anything else you go buy. If you want a TV, buy the features you want, a phone, buy the features you want. Health care, buy the features you want, buy the policies you want. We have not been allowed to do that since Obamacare.<\/p>\n

Now, apparently there\u2019s been enough movement in that direction that Cruz can now say he supports the bill. But so far details have not yet been forthcoming. The last paragraph here at TheHill.com story says: “Moderates and many health experts, however, worry that amendment would spike premiums for the sick people remaining in the Obamacare plans, when healthy people move to the cheaper, less generous options.”<\/p>\n

See, right there\u2019s the rub. I maintain that under socialism you can always find a justification for doing something stupid. You can always find a justification for not doing what\u2019s right, if socialism is what governs you.<\/p>\n

Now, listen to this. Moderates — read “liberals” — and many health experts — what health experts? Who are we talking about here? They\u2019re not named. — worry that the amendment, which would allow people to ignore certain elements of the Obama essential health benefits, would cause premiums for the elderly to rise because they are going to remain in the Obamacare plan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not stated here why they will. When healthy people move to the cheaper — See, healthy people, the initial conceit and the initial flaw — I mean, in the world of common sense, the initial flaw — and there were many with Obamacare — was that the people who do not need insurance were gonna be forced to buy it so that the elderly would have it. What\u2019s wrong with that? Who in the world buys what they don\u2019t need? And why in the world force people to buy what they don\u2019t need and don\u2019t want?<\/p>\n

This has always been the problem. The healthiest people among us have always been the targets of this. The people who, if left to their own devices, wouldn\u2019t even have health insurance in their twenties, thirties, maybe catastrophic, but they wouldn\u2019t have all this. They wouldn\u2019t have maternity insurance. They wouldn\u2019t have all this garbage in there. A, they wouldn\u2019t have the money for it. They would shop around. They would find what they thought they were most likely to have happen to \u2019em and insure \u2019em against that. Obamacare said, “No, no, no, no. You\u2019re young. You have to buy it all.”<\/p>\n

\"\"It makes no sense whatsoever. It didn\u2019t have a chance of working, which, by the way, was the design. I just saw a story, here\u2019s another example for you. You know Tesla. Everybody who doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on loves Teslas. They love \u2019em. And you know why they love \u2019em? Well, one is that Elon Musk has this unassailable public image, visionary, smartest man in the world, savior of the planet, visionary, sees things that you and I will never see in our lifetime. My little tech blogies, they just love the guy.<\/p>\n

Well, a little known fact is that Tesla is the most subsidized company on earth, or close to it, to the tune of 4 to 5 billion dollars. Well, of course people can afford to buy Teslas if over half the cost of one is subsidized. Well, guess what? Australia has decided not to subsidize the purchase of Teslas. You know how many they\u2019ve sold in Australia? Zero. Actual zero have been sold because they\u2019re not subsidized. Why should they be? Why should Teslas be subsidized and not Corvettes? “Well, Mr. Limbaugh, obviously we need to subsidize these products that are going to save the planet from deathly climate change.” And we\u2019ve got a story on that, by the way.<\/p>\n

Algore\u2019s out with another series of just ungodly, stupid analogies and comparisons. That\u2019s coming up. Same thing with health care here. We\u2019re talking about subsidizing people who can\u2019t afford it, and because of the cost, that\u2019s most people who need subsidies for this stuff. The minute you hear subsidies, I don\u2019t care what, if it\u2019s health care, buying cars, the minute you hear subsidies, you have to understand, whatever\u2019s going on here, it isn\u2019t market forces.<\/p>\n

Whatever\u2019s happening here, this is a defined program that is targeting sales not based on consumer interest or consumer desire, but based on what a bunch of central planners think people ought to be doing and have. And it\u2019s the same thing here with health care. It has never made any sense when the left runs it, because their purpose is not what they state. It\u2019s not insuring everybody, and it\u2019s not health care for everybody.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: CNN has their story on Ted Cruz\u2019s amendment being adopted in part, Republican health care bill. Their headline: “New Republican Health Care Bill Could Allow Cheaper Plans With Fewer Benefits.” Yeah, that\u2019s kind of the way it would work for people that want to buy them! Absolutely right.
