Schumer: Dems "Making Preparations" To Do Health Care Alone
The Hill: Senate Democrats are actively making preparations to move forward on healthcare legislation without Republicans, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Monday.
While bipartisan negotiations amongst the Senate Finance Committee's "group of six" senators on a reform deal, Schumer said during an appearance on MSNBC that Senate leaders are getting ready to move forward with a bill if deadlines for the compromise bill pass without a product.
"We will all come together. Both the president and leader Reid have said we will make every effort to come up with a bipartisan bill," Schumer said. "But if not, we're making preparations on how to get this done without them."
