Lawmakers are ramping up bipartisan talks on the next steps for healthcare legislation after the GOP ObamaCare repeal effort hit a wall. Announcements of across-the-aisle negotiations sprung up on Friday, less than a day after Senate Republicans failed to pass their "skinny" repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), who is up for reelection in 2018, said he and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) "are now working together" with a bipartisan group of senators after discussing the issue previously.
"This group of senators met for dinner the other night to start sharing our ideas and discussing a path forward. While we still have a long way to go, we are starting to work together to try to get this done in a bipartisan way," Nelson said on Friday.
