Zeke Emanuel: If GOP Bill Fails There Is an Opening for Bipartisan Health Care Reform

‘It totally undercuts the pledge by the president and Republicans to keep this so-called pre-existing disease exclusion there’

EXCERPT:

EMANUEL: "That’s actually the key to the long-term making health care more affordable for the public, is to change how we deliver care. That reduces the cost. That’s what my book is about, it's illustrating cases where this really does work. That’s bipartisan. It’s not individual party, the way Mitch McConnell is doing it. And we can do it because there are good examples that can be copied around the country."
BERMAN: "Dr. Zeke Emanuel, thank you so much for being with us. I hope we can do it as you say, because the American people really do need it. Appreciate your time."
EMANUEL: "Well, if the McConnell bill fails, then maybe there is an opening for bipartisan health care reform which I’ve been advocating all this time."
