“The Republicans are a deeply divided party and have been so for six years. They have great, great difficulty reaching consensus on important pieces of legislation. I think what you’re seeing reflected is every day this bill goes forward, and, frankly, it gets worse by the day, the American public are overwhelmingly are rejecting this bill. Now, in the most recent poll, 3 to 1 people are saying this is not good for them, not good for their country. They’re saying they're going to pay more and get less. They believe the CBO, unlike the Republicans. 24 million people will lose insurance and that there's an age tax on there where seniors will pay more.”
“…Not a single Democrat will vote for this Republican bill. They believe it's bad for their districts, bad for their people, and bad for their country. That does not mean that we don’t all agree that we shouldn't not have some changes in the Affordable Care Act. I told the Republicans last night that I and the leadership of the Democratic Party are prepared to sit down and say look, you don't like portions of the ACA, the Affordable Care Act, and you want it better, we're prepared to work with you on that.”
