President Obama is reassessing his approach to healthcare legislation today following his party’s loss of a super-majority of the Senate with the victory of the Republican candidate in a special election in Massachusetts.
Obama is telling senators today not to ‘jam’’ a healthcare bill through Congress before the seating of Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown of Massachusetts, the president told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in an interview airing on ABC’s World Tonight.
‘I would advise that we try to move quickly to coalesce around those elements in the package that people agree on,’ the president says in the ABC News interview.
