Kaine: We’ll Find a Bipartisan Solution for Health Care, We’re Not Going to Let Tweets Get on Our Way

‘When the skinny repeal vote failed in July, that effort to take insurance away from 20 million people, we started to work on a bipartisan proposal to stabilize the individual insurance market’

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I’m really gratified that Lamar and patty have put this deal on the table to -- to stabilize it with the payments that help people afford their copays and deductibles and also giving states flexibility, six Republicans have already come out and said they support this deal. Many Democrats are supporting it. And I think we can get this passed as part of some larger legislation this year. And then we move on to the bigger question of what do we do to fix health care going forward? I think our bill is a solution there. But look, the president's backing and forthing on this as on so many other things as sort of making him a little bit irrelevant to the discussions in the Senate."
BRZEZINSKI: "Right."
KAINE: "We’re moving ahead on trying to find bipartisan solutions and we’re not going to let tweets get in the way.”
