Talks of a possible bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff that has created chaos in the Republican caucus are underway, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday.
“There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions,” the New York Democrat said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
When asked what House Democrats might be asking for a deal with House Republicans, Jeffries said his caucus wants “to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren’t able to dictate the agenda.”
Congress should be required to use the government provided healthcare plans. Make them use Medicare/Medicaid and the problems would be solved within a couple months.
Or they would just make the coverage far more comprehensive while making it almost impossible for anyone who isn’t a legislator to qualify.
Dude, Medicaid and Medicare are awesome. Why do you think seniors protect Medicare so fiercely? And Medicaid, for its faults with a lower number of providers, is still great coverage. I’d trade my high deductible plan for it tomorrow if i could.
