WASHINGTON, June 27 -- The office of Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., issued the following news release:

U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) issued the following statement after meeting with President Trump, Vice President Pence, Reince Priebus, and Republican Senators at the White House to discuss health care reform this afternoon:

"I had a productive meeting at the White House this afternoon with President Trump, Vice President Pence, my colleagues in the Senate, and Trump administration Chief of Staff Reince Priebus about finding viable solutions for our broken health care system. As premiums continue to rise, insurers drop out of exchanges, and states continue to suffocate under the rising cost of Medicaid, it is more important than ever to come together and stop the unmitigated disaster that is Obamacare," said Sen. Kennedy. "I will continue to work towards a better, more sensible health care system that benefits all Americans."
