U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow says the failure of the Republican healthcare reform plan on Friday creates a new opportunity for the GOP to work with Democrats on a package to reduce costs while making it easier for working Americans to buy insurance. She issued a statement after the White House told Republican House leaders to pull the American Healthcare Act. Stabenow says, “It’s time to come together in a bipartisan way to improve health care for middle-class families in Michigan and across the country, instead of this irresponsible rush to pass a bill that would have raised costs and reduced medical care for most Michigan families.” President Trump is now saying he’d be “open” to tackling healthcare again if the Affordable Care Act implodes, as he’s predicting.
