Tom Cole: No, I Don’t Think Health Care’s Dead

‘It’s great ... to watch Senators sweat for awhile’

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, is this going to come back to you or is it dead?”
COLE: “No, I don’t think it’s dead at all. Frankly, I met with some senators before the break. They were much more optimistic than the public...”
STEPHANOPOULOS: "Before the break."
COLE: "Before the break. But, look, I don’t think opinions are going to change that much on that. It really is going to get down to whether or not the ideas, for instance, that Senator Cruz is advancing really can bring people together, whether or not there’s enough extra money in there and there appears to be to address a lot of the problems and concerns that individual members have. So, yeah, look, they got 45, 47 votes. The last three or four really are down to what’s the individual concern, can we get you the fix that gets you there. And if anybody can get that done, Mitch McConnell can."
