Schumer Statement on Leader McConnell’s Health Care Remarks

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer released the following statement in response to Senator McConnell’s recent remarks on the Senate health care bill:

“It’s encouraging that Sen. McConnell today acknowledged that the issues with the exchanges are fixable, and opened the door to bipartisan solutions to improve our health care system. As we’ve said time and time again, Democrats are eager to work with Republicans to stabilize the markets and improve the law. At the top of the list should be ensuring cost sharing payments are permanent, which will protect health care for millions.”
