Klobuchar: We Didn’t Pass ObamaCare Behind Closed Doors

WALLACE: But part of the problem, Senator, is we seem to be in a vicious cycle. Back in 2010, Democrats passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote. This year, Republicans seem to be trying to pass and replace without a single Democratic vote.

How do you stop the vicious cycle?

KLOBUCHAR: Well, you can start right now. As you know, the American people would really like to see us work together on health care and there were plenty of changes that we need to make to the Affordable Care Act, like bringing the prices of prescription drugs down, bills that I have with Senator McCain and Senator Grassley, two Republicans, as well as work we should be doing to make sure the exchanges are strong. But doing this behind closed doors is actually not what we did with the Affordable Care Act.

So, I’m hopeful this would be an opportunity, given what we are seeing across the country with the prices of prescription drugs, where we could work on that together.

WALLACE: But, look, let —

KLOBUCHAR: And I found common ground — go ahead.
