GOP senator meeting with White House on new ObamaCare plan

BY JESSIE HELLMANN - 08/15/17 10:16 AM EDT

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said he's meeting with the White House and the Trump administration "two or three times per week" on a plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. 

Cassidy has teamed up with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) on a new proposal that would essentially block-grant ObamaCare funding to the states while repealing the law's individual and employer mandates.

"I think the president is impatient and the president is kind of jamming the agenda a little bit, rightly so," Cassidy told The Advocate. "He's afraid momentum will dissipate."
