Republican Thune: Bipartisan Health Bill Stalled

Wednesday, 18 October 2017 02:15 PM EDT

U.S. Sen. John Thune, a member of the Senate Republican leadership, said on Wednesday that a bipartisan deal by two U.S. senators to stabilize Obamacare by restoring subsidies to health insurers was "stalled out."

President Donald Trump opposes payments going to insurance companies and the bill has to go through the House of Representatives as well, Thune said. "So at this point it's just kind of, like I said, an open question," he added.
