President Donald Trump appears committed to destroying Obamacare, leaving Republicans in a lurch on how they plan to create a health insurance system that doesn't end up a disaster for the country and the party.
On CNN Thursday, Brianna Keilar, who covered the passage of the Affordable Care Act, pressed Tom Reed (R-NY) about how Republicans plan to protect Americans with pre-existing conditions now that the individual mandate has been struck down.
Reed did not offer concrete policy solutions, but stressed that the solution would have to be bipartisan and that they would reach an "American" system.
"This shouldn't be just a Republican thinking we can figure this all out on our own," Reed said. "This is reaching across the aisle in good faith to come up with an American solution to health care and if we do that, then I think we have a chance to get the health care cost going down and we do it in a way that both of us have jumped together and the best reforms are those that are done on a bipartisan basis."
"I'm holding my breath on this one, but maybe not for too long," Keilar joked.
