Hoyer Discusses Meeting Between Congressional Leaders and President Trump on CNN

“Well, I think this was largely, Erin, an opportunity for him to get to know members of the leadership that he did not already know, and it was an opportunity to just have a, frankly, a conversation, although serious issues were brought up, but discussion in depth did not occur. We brought up the Affordable Care Act... We also talked about infrastructure, we talked about a couple of other issues, but not substantively.”

“Leader Pelosi and I both agree with President Obama, that we could work with President Trump if we had a [health care] bill that did, in fact, what President Obama postulated it would do, improve upon what we think we've done a decent job on, but we know is not a perfect job. So that, yes, we’d be foolish not to say that if we can make it better, we'll support it. The problem is, most of the things we've seen [from Republicans] will make it worse, less assurance for people, less access to affordable, quality health care, more opportunity to have serious illnesses devastate them economically.”
