Yes, It Is Definitely Possible For The House And Senate To Agree On Health Care

Yes, It Is Definitely Possible For The House And Senate To Agree On Health Care
Senate Republicans are already working with the leader of the House Freedom Caucus.
By Matt Fuller 05/08/2017

WASHINGTON ― After the House passed its health care bill last week, Senators looked apt to take that dramatically conservative plan, stick it in a filing cabinet, and start over with a more moderate bill ― one that may never be able to pass the House on the way back.

But Democrats may overestimate the level of disagreement between the two chambers. And if the last two months have proved anything, it’s that we’re underestimating the ability of Republicans to accept a flawed bill in the name of winning.

We may also be surprised by what House conservatives could accept from the Senate.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has already been working with Senate Republicans on what changes House conservatives could live with, knowing that the Senate bill will probably undo some cuts to Medicaid and perhaps a key amendment that brought conservatives onboard in the first place.

But in the meantime millions and millions of Americans will be locked out of health care in this country.

This horrible act of Trump/Republican terrorism against America will destroy many people and strip them of every asset they have.
