The right way to deal with Obamacare

This is encouraging. The Senate is starting to ignore Trump, and focusing on fixing problems with Obamacare instead. We'll see if they can keep it up in the face of a president who wants nothing more than to destroy healthcare in the US.

The Senate Tests a New Approach on Obamacare: Bipartisanship

Next month the Senate will try a novel approach to break away from seven years of polarization on health care: actual committee hearings, with expert witnesses and input from lawmakers in both parties.

And if those go well, Congress could see an even unlikelier development—the advance of viable, bipartisan legislation to fix parts of the Affordable Care Act.

The hearings are the brainchild of Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the Republican chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, who has been talking for months about the need to stabilize Obamacare’s individual insurance market. What makes this effort different is that following the GOP’s failure to repeal and replace the law, Alexander now has the blessing of his party’s leadership and buy-in from the committee’s top Democrat, Senator Patty Murray of Washington State.
