We're all aligned in the sense that we're fighting for Americans, right?

We're fighting for this country.

We're fighting for health care.

We're taking on what we see are the bad policies of this administration.

And it is not just unique to Democrats.

I can tell you right now there are some of my Republican colleagues that want to address the Affordable Care Act and address the health care subsidies, the tax credit.

They need to.

Because in their states, Americans would be harmed if we do not extend these health care subsidies.

And that is true across the country.

I don't care with your blue state, red state, purple state.

It's about Americans and supporting them and helping them lower their health care costs.

This is one way we can do it.

And that's why both Democrats and there are some Republicans who want to extend this health care subsidy.

And they should.

Because if we don't, there's probably about 22 million Americans across the country that are

not only going to see their health care costs go up, some of them are going to lose access to health care because they can't afford it.

Well, those are the conversations and negotiations now because clearly we have to do both.

And I will tell you a key part of this conversation is going to be the man in the White House, Donald Trump, because the leadership of Republicans in the Republican Party in Congress, they're only going to do what he says.

So they have to be a part of this conversation, and Donald Trump has to be a part of this conversation.

He can't be flying around everywhere.
