Two U.S. senators from both parties are close to finalizing a bipartisan deal to shore up the health insurance exchanges created under Obamacare, the chamber’s top Democrat said on Thursday.
The move, which Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said was “on the verge” of completion, would stabilize the market for individuals who buy their own insurance plans on the federal or state-based exchanges.

Why does the Senate let MCCain vote or propose anything when his skull is rotten with cancer!
What happens to Congressional workers who are currently granted Obamacare waivers?
To make a dumb choice isd never smart
period!!!
How about Congress rebating and remitting the unconstitutional 2014, 2015 and 2016 PPACA penalties?
The Republicans need to show they are serious about fixing all the PPACA’s problems.
Kaisick is looking brilliant right now. Along with all go the other Medicaid expanding and Exchange enabling GOP govs. What chumps all those ObamaCare denying govs where.
Perhaps Congress should raise the state Medicaid share from 10% to 11% too while they would have the votes to do so.
When Steve Bannon talks about the corporatists and lobbyists running the system, he isn’t lying.
It’s a bailout for the insurance industry.
Which is why Shulmer’s announcing it....it’s his pay to play.
“The exchanges...something that needs to die.”
The federal exchange now works quite well software-wise.
Of course, we have a now seven-year-old garbage-in problem.
“permanent”
Nothing permanent please!
If fixes are going to come slowly, we need the power to make lots of small fixes.
“fiscal IV”
There’s really no good reason for Uncle Sam to be paying much more than in pre-PPACA fine 2013 for pretty much the same stuff.
Actually, we should be paying less, since doctors have had something like seven years to make previously uninsured people healthier.
“Two U.S. senators from both parties are close to finalizing a bipartisan deal”
And I’m about 2% done fixing up my house.
“a bipartisan deal to shore up the health insurance exchanges created under Obamacare”
And how about raising the job and income-stifling 50-person, 30-hours per week limits of the PPACA too?
Because McCain, Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, Bob Corker, What’s-her-name Murkowski in Alaska, and Rand Paul will all vote against it.
At most we only have 45-48 Republicans in the Senate.
Schumer’s announcing it because he and the Democrats are in charge, as they have always been.
The moment I see the word “Bipartisan”, I know that it will be the worst of both worlds.
Mitch needs to go immediately if he lets this get a vote. As in, the next day. stop this nonesense!
Yea, this is going to pass and Rand can pat himself on the back that at least he didn’t support an insurance bailout. If this passes and Trump doesn’t veto, there are no words.
I am embarrassed to be from Tennessee
