The Hill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wants the entire Senate to meet next week to discuss healthcare, as Democrats continue to push the GOP to drop their effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.  
Schumer sent Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) a letter on Friday asking for an all-senators meeting to talk about the GOP legislation, which hasn't been finalized, adding both parties "need to come together to find solutions to America's challenges." 
 
"Please accept our invitation to sit down together in the old Senate Chamber so we can hear your plans and discuss how to make health care more affordable and accessible," Schumer wrote. 
 
Republicans have been negotiating their healthcare bill behind closed doors during policy lunches, as well as meetings convened by McConnell and involving roughly a dozen GOP senators.
