The Hill: Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is floating potentially tying a bipartisan deal on stabilizing the health insurance market to structural reforms favored by Republicans, after the latest bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare fell apart.
"Senator Alexander and Senator Murray are working on some ideas on stabilizing the market, but more importantly, to me, Senator Cassidy and Senator Graham are looking at structural reform," the No. 2 Senate Republican told reporters on Tuesday.
Cornyn hasn't previously appeared optimistic that he would be able to support a potential deal hatched by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) — the top two members on the Senate's Health Committee — aimed at stabilizing the insurance market and providing ObamaCare's cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies.
