Schumer Says The Bipartisan Health Care Deal Has The Votes To Pass▼

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to get moving on the bipartisan health care deal from Sens. Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray ASAP. Schumer told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that all 46 Senate Democrats, two independents and 12 Republicans are on board with the deal, which took months to work out. "I would urge Sen. McConnell to put it on the floor immediately this week," Schumer said. In part, the short-term deal would extend cost-sharing reduction payments for another two years in exchange for allowing states more flexibility to regulate health care coverage.

But Trump's stance on the issue has been inconsistent. Source
