We want to sit down in a bipartisan way and find a path forward to reopen the government, enact a spending agreement that meets the needs of the American people, and decisively address the Republican health care crisis. The partisan Republican spending bill that guts the health care of the American people has now been voted down 10 different times. Why does Leader Thune and Senate Republicans continue to try to do the same thing and expect different results? Democrats are not going to bend and we're not going to break because we are standing up for the American people. (00:32–00:42)
