Senate Republicans have opted instead to surprise Democrats with a new, last-minute partisan so-called “stabilization” bill—one that included poison bills Republicans knew Democrats would never agree to.
I am extremely disappointed that we have reached this point—but that does not mean I am giving up on getting this done. I know many Rs have said this is the end of the road for bipartisan negotiations on health care—but if it is, that’s only because they have chosen that route.
I’m laying out what I hope Republicans & Democrats will ultimately be able to agree on—a bill that includes current-law prohibitions on taxpayer funding for abortion—what Democrats and Republicans agreed was acceptable just months ago.
The bill I’m putting forward would take strong steps to lower premiums and make health care more affordable for patients—and it would uphold protections for people with pre-existing conditions, as so many Republicans and Democrats have said we should.
We are not far from an agreement, I still think we can get there, and I hope Republicans and Democrats will join me in supporting the amendment I am offering today—and that even if they don’t, I hope we can get back to the table and resume talks.
Our work last fall showed that we can reach agreement when we put aside partisan politics and focused on what’s best for families—and I’m ready to get back to work as soon as Republicans are.
Not as disappointed as the millions whose healthcare is in jeopardy! You have to work this out, stabilize markets and then as a party work toward single payer in elections. In the meantime this is the only option for millions. Show some compassion.
If you really just exhorted the Senator to “show some compassion” I invite you to do a little research—you’ll find her to be a fierce and, yes, compassionate advocate for all Americans. She is tireless in her work on healthcare.
Thank you for all you do.
