Two powerful senators came to a bipartisan agreement to fix the looming crisis of Trump's Obamacare sabotage and actually do their job. The agreement that Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA) came to is smart policy-making. It would restore the payments to insurers Donald Trump has cut off, stabilizing the insurance markets and guaranteeing more affordable care for millions for 2017-19. It would fund outreach for open enrollment for 2018 and 2019 plan years. It would maintain all of the law's consumer protections, but would give states additional flexibility in obtaining waivers from some of the ACA's coverage requirements.

...

According to Alexander, Trump "completely engineered the plan" and also insisted "Sen. Murray to be a part of it." That was Wednesday morning. In fact, on Wednesday morning, Alexander was interviewed by Axios's Mike Allen "immediately after getting off the phone with President Trump, who called to encourage him about the bipartisan healthcare bill he announced yesterday with Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)." Alexander says that Trump told him "he wants to review the plan carefully, admitted he is still for block grants, but said he is willing to support this bipartisan measure in the short term."

...

This morning, this very morning, Alexander says Trump called him to encourage him on the plan that Trump engineered. Then this.
