A pair of top senators are expected to announce the next steps on healthcare after the GOP effort to repeal ObamaCare stalled in the Senate.

A Senate aide said Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) will announce their plan for working together on healthcare, including Senate Health Committee hearings, on Tuesday afternoon.

The aide confirmed that the announcement will be on committee action and bipartisan hearings.

The forthcoming announcement is the latest sign of bipartisan talks on healthcare since Republicans failed to pass their "skinny" repeal bill last week.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) announced on Friday that he is working with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and a small bipartisan group of senators.

Dozens of House lawmakers from both parties unveiled a series of proposals on Monday designed to fix the Affordable Care Act.

7. At worst, this will piss off Trump, McConnell, and Ryan

At best, this group comes up with something that will tweak the ACA and be great, and the Repubs won't pass it, which makes the GOP look bad.

8. I would still keep a careful eye on the Repugnants because

I would not be surprised if they tried a last minute repeal vote in order to prevent any pushback from forming to oppose it.

11. Realistically, for the time being I dont see anything happening until the makeup

of the Senate and House change

Congress MUST be covered by the same healthcare

12. They want to rename the ACA because it was an Obama piece of legislation that worked.

They despise anyone that's an intellect and not a money grubbing con artist. If you're an American and not lying, cheating and stealing, you're stupid.
