I tell people it's like shopping for a car.People are taking candidates out for a test drive, seeing what they like.

It's my preferred working style to have bipartisan legislation. I think what the Democrats have made clear is that they don't want to deal with anything that repeals and replaces Obamacare. I think they wouldn't want to do anything that gets rid of the mandates, which is a big part of our proposal, getting rid of the individual employer mandates.

Social Security is an extremely complicated program.

I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America's future here in the trenches of the United States Senate.

I think the thing with Medicare - and a lot of this - I should say, with Medicaid - and this is going to depend - states are going to be in a position to have a lot of flexibility.

We must work together to save and strengthen Social Security not just for my father's generation but also for my daughters' generation.

People in the individual marketplace should have more options. The plan that we - the discussion draft that we have out, actually opens up for people who are zero percent to 100 percent of the federal poverty level, not eligible for Medicaid, would open up the opportunity for them to purchase insurance with help from the federal government.
