On Sunday, both NBC’s Meet the Press and ABC’s This Week were so desperate to protect ObamaCare that the hosts interrogated Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and demanded that he accept the failing law. At the top of Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd warned: “...the President threatens to sabotage ObamaCare....Will President Trump try to push ObamaCare over the edge?”

In a contentious interview with Price minutes later, Todd eagerly cited a Washington Post headline that proclaimed: “It’s not ObamaCare anymore. It’s our national health-care system.” He then turned to the cabinet official and urged: “Do you accept that the attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act as we know it are dead and now your job and the job of Republicans is to make the system work better?”

After Price detailed the numerous ways in which ObamaCare was failing and not helping Americans receive health care, Todd brushed all those facts aside and declared: “You know how to count votes, you know where the votes are. It’s pretty clear a full repeal can’t be done....What is one thing that you want Congress to do right now that’s doable, that’s realistic, that can help you implement the Affordable Care Act better?”

Later in the exchange, Todd pressed:

Do you feel it is your job at HHS to implement the Affordable Care Act as it was meant to be or are you there to – some people think you don’t want to see it work, so that’s why we’ve seen cancelled TV advertising, the attempts to not get people to enroll, the cancelling of contracts that help with enrollment. And so some have accused that you do not want to see it work as it was intended. Can you explain?

The anchor hoped Price would get on board with the Democratic Party agenda and start promoting ObamaCare: “So if they come up with a fix that helps...are you then going to implement the Affordable Care Act as it was meant to be, including encouraging people to sign up, encouraging enrollment, encouraging Medicaid expansion?”

On This Week, fill-in moderator Martha Raddatz had a similarly aggressive discussion with Price, fearing: “Well, the President also talked repeatedly this week about letting ObamaCare implode. As recently as Friday he was calling for that....Is he going to let it implode, or as he says, do the right thing for the American people?”

She further worried:

HHS has the ability to further destabilize the marketplace by stopping cost-sharing payments to insurers, not enforcing the individual mandate, working internally to undermine it. You have said nobody is interested in sabotaging the system. So are you going to help it implode or try to fix it?

After asking multiple questions on the topic, Raddatz still queried: “Secretary Price, I just want to go back to this – the President saying ‘imploding.’ Is what the President is proposing, letting the existing system fail, putting the needs of patients first?”

The biased interviews were brought to viewers by Boeing, Neutrogena, IBM, and Mercedes.

Here are transcripts of the questions put to Price on the July 30 Sunday shows:
