Key senators just reached a deal to save the Obamacare payments Trump just killed

[patty murray lamar alexander]Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander told reporters Tuesday that he and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray have reached a deal that would formally appropriate Obamacare's cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments. The deal, which has been in the works since August, comes less than a week after President Donald Trump said his administration would stop the payments, saying it could not legally continue to do so. CSR payments help to defray costs to insurers that are mandated to provide plans with low out-of-pocket costs to poorer Americans.  The deal would continue the CSR payments for through 2019 and restore $106 million in outreach to encourage people to sign up for Obamacare plans during the upcoming open-enrollment period. It would also allow states to implement on reinsurance programs, which helps to mitigate losses for insurers with assistance from the government ad is designed to lower costs for consumers. Additionally, the plan would expedite approvals for what are known as "1332 waivers," which allow states to make changes to their Obamacare exchanges as long as they lower costs. The Alexander-Murray talks were quashed by Republican leadership in September in favor of an attempt to pass the Graham-Cassidy legislation that would have repealed and replaced the Affordable Care Act. The two senators are the chair and ranking member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, Pensions Committee, respectively. At a press conference with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday, Trump endorsed the deal and said the White House was "involved" with the talks. It is unclear whether the deal can succeed in Congress, given that House Speaker Paul Ryan previously said he would not bring a stabilization bill to the floor. Democratic leadership supports the plan. With the bipartisan support, Eric Assaraf, an analyst at Cowen Washington Research Group, said that the plan would likely pass, though he said it could take some time. "We believe the market stabilization bill would likely garner enough votes for passage and would be signed into law as President Trump has expressed his desire for a short-term fix to Sen. Alexander after moving to end CSR payments last week," Assaraf wrote in a note to clients. But conservatives have strongly hinted at opposition. Rep. Mark Walker, chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said that he would not support the package. "The GOP should focus on repealing & replacing Obamacare, not trying to save it," Walker said, via the committee's Twitter account. "This bailout is unacceptable."

A reporter confronts Greek prime minister at press conference with Trump over past comments calling him 'evil'

[alexis tsipras donald trump]Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images As he stood feet away from President Donald Trump in the White House Rose Garden on Tuesday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras tried to downplay his former comments calling Trump "evil." During a press conference, Fox News' John Roberts asked Tsipras to reflect on his comments from March 2016, in which he said he hoped "we will not face this evil," referring to a potential Trump presidency. "I wish I knew that before my speech," Trump quipped after the question. Tsipras described the US as "a very strong power," and broadly praised US intervention abroad, dodging Roberts' question while affirming Greece's general commitment to common goals with the US. "I am very optimistic after the meeting we had today," Tsipras said. "The meeting we had was very productive, not a moment did I feel threatened at any time," Tsipras said. "I saw that there is a very fertile outlook here in order to set aside any differences we may have here to find the common ground which is very important to the relationship." Though Trump once called the country "unsalvageable" because of its campaign debt, on Tuesday, the president praised Greece's recovery, as it underwent harsh austerity measures including spending cuts and tax hikes in exchange for a bailout from the European Union. "They're doing a terrific job of coming back," Trump said. "They will be back. We're working with them on many different things."
