24 senators co-sponsor bipartisan ObamaCare deal

The bipartisan deal to stabilize ObamaCare's markets has 24 co-sponsors, Senate Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday.

Twelve Republicans and 12 Democrats signed on to the bill, which would continue ObamaCare's insurer subsidies for two years and give states more flexibility to waive ObamaCare rules.

"This is a first step. Improve it and pass it sooner rather than later," Alexander said on the Senate floor.

Trump announced last week he was canceling the payments, arguing the previous administration lacked the authority to make them.

All that it needs are 12 Reps and 48 Dems. Another Trump "achievement" nullified. Interesting. PubliusEnigma Oct 2017 #1

As far as the fake prez is concerned, who the Hell knows what "mood" he will be in and whether or not he will sign it...he has changed his mind 14 times so far this week alone. He doesn't even know what he wants he is so damn crazy. Wolf Blitzer said, "I am completely confused" before attempting to discuss it today.
