House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) extended an offer to work with Republicans on healthcare Friday, less than one day after GOP efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare failed in the Senate.
"Democrats extend the hand of friendship, and look forward to our working together in the regular order for the good of the American people," Pelosi said in a statement.
The House Democratic leader said some of what Democrats heard during town halls, hearings and forums was consistent with the market stabilization section of the Senate GOP's "Better Care and Reconciliation Act" (BCRA), including short and long term stability funds and cost sharing subsidies.
"House Democrats are prepared to support these vital measures and exchange ideas on how we go forward in other respects," she said, adding it is "essential" for President Trump to ensure that cost saving reduction payments will continue.
Is Pelosi really willing to work together?
