Problem Solvers Caucus

File:Problem Solvers Caucus - 2020-02-12.jpg

The Problem Solvers Caucus developed over time as an outgrowth of informal meetings organized by group No Labels. No Labels spent years on Capitol Hill working to get members in a room to talk with colleagues from the other party. These informal "get to know you" meetings led to more substantive cooperation across the aisle, including the introduction of nine bipartisan bills to reduce government waste and inefficiency, and the introduction of the No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013{{Cite news |title=Members of Congress introduce bipartisan legislation as the 'Problem Solvers' |language=en-US |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2013/07/18/members-of-congress-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-as-the-problem-solvers/ |url-status=live |access-date=2021-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014085317/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2013/07/18/members-of-congress-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-as-the-problem-solvers/ |archive-date=2017-10-14 |issn=0190-8286}}{{cite web |last=Camp |first=Dave |date=2013-02-04 |title=H.R.325 – 113th Congress (2013–2014): No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013 |url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/325 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717010059/https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/325 |archive-date=2021-07-17 |access-date=2021-07-17 |website=www.congress.gov}} and the Medicare "doc fix" in 2015.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}}

Over time, No Labels continued to organize members into a more cohesive group and eventually branded the group the "Problem Solvers" and recruited its first two co-chairs, Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI) and Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR).{{cite web |last=Cusack |first=Bob |date=2014-07-16 |title=New congressional caucus disavows 'kindergarten-style theatrics' |url=https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/212439-new-congressional-caucus-disavows-kindergarten-style-theatrics |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717010055/https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/212439-new-congressional-caucus-disavows-kindergarten-style-theatrics |archive-date=2021-07-17 |access-date=2021-07-17 |website=The Hill |language=en}} This group of members organized by No Labels also signed a resolution (H.R. 207) calling for both parties to unify behind a National Strategic Agenda with four goals: job creation, balancing the budget, securing Medicare and Social Security, and energy security.{{cite web |last=Reed |first=Tom |date=2015-04-21 |title=H.Res.207 – 114th Congress (2015–2016): Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding establishing a National Strategic Agenda. |url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/207 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210717010055/https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/207 |archive-date=2021-07-17 |access-date=2021-07-17 |website=www.congress.gov}}

Then co-chairs Reed and Gottheimer said in 2017, "We all knew the partisanship in Washington had gotten out of control and felt the need to create a bipartisan group committed to getting to 'yes' on important issues. We have agreed to vote together for any policy proposal that garners the support of 75 percent of the entire Problem Solvers Caucus, as well as 51 percent of both the Democrats and Republicans in the caucus."{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/bipartisan-health-care-reform.html|title=Let's Stop the Bickering and Fix the Health Care System|last1=Gottheimer|first1=Josh|date=2017-08-04|work=The New York Times|access-date=2017-08-12|last2=Reed|first2=Tom|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=2017-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170813013544/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/bipartisan-health-care-reform.html|url-status=live}}{{Better source needed|reason=Many of the current sources in this article are too close to the source material (WP:NOTRS).|date=May 2023}} To ensure party balance, a new member can only join the caucus when a member of the opposing party joins at the same time.{{cite news |last1=Blanco |first1=Adrian |last2=Sotomayor |first2=Marianna |last3=Dormido |first3=Hannah |title=Meet 'the five families' that wield power in McCarthy's House majority |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2023/house-republican-five-families/ |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=11 May 2023 |quote=Established in 2017, its membership is quite exclusive because a lawmaker can only be accepted if a member from the opposing party joins at the same time.

During the week of August 4, 2017, the 43-member House Problem Solvers Caucus released a compromise to shore up the struggling insurance exchanges. The proposal focused on the skyrocketing cost of individual health insurance premiums. At the time, the Trump administration considered suspending cost-sharing payments that defray out-of-pocket payments like deductibles and co-payments, a move which insurers said could cause premiums to rise by 15 percent or more.{{Cite news|last1=Gottheimer|first1=Josh|last2=Reed|first2=Tom|date=2017-08-04|title=Opinion {{!}} Let's Stop the Bickering and Fix the Health Care System|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/bipartisan-health-care-reform.html|access-date=2020-05-24|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=2020-06-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622224716/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/bipartisan-health-care-reform.html|url-status=live}}

The second part of the Problem Solvers plan would have provided relief to help states deal with the high cost of pre-existing and chronic conditions. The relief is provided through a dedicated stability fund that states could use to reduce premiums and limit losses for providing coverage for these high-cost patients. The third part of the plan provides relief to certain businesses from the mandate that they provide insurance to full-time employees. It also defines "full time" as a 40-hour workweek to discourage businesses from manipulating employees' weekly hours to skirt the mandate.

The plan would have also eliminated the Medical Device Tax, an excise charge of 2.3 percent, which opponents claim is passed onto consumers and reduces funds for research and development.

After the 2018 midterm elections, the Problem Solvers Caucus and House Democratic Leadership negotiated a package that reformed the rules of the House. The Washington Post{{'}}s Editorial Board predicted that those new rules should "ease consideration of bipartisan amendments, create a 'consensus calendar' to reserve time for bills with wide bipartisan support and make it harder for extremists on the House’s wings to threaten to oust the speaker."{{Cite news|date=January 3, 2019|title=The Democratic House wants to reform democracy.

In September 2020, the Problem Solvers released their "March to Common Ground" COVID-19 relief package, an outline for a Congressional bipartisan compromise that showed that members of both parties were willing to listen to each other in order to craft legislation.{{cite web |author=The Editorial Board |title=Editorial: Who's ready for some bipartisanship in D.C.?

After the 2023 October Continuing Resolution was passed on September 30, 2023, Congressman Matt Gaetz presented the motion to vacate against Speaker Kevin McCarthy on October 3, in which all Democrats voted to vacate alongside eight Republicans. Republican members of the Problem Solvers Caucus criticized their Democratic counterparts for not defending McCarthy after he passed a bipartisan bill, considering it an undermining of bipartisanship credibility, although Nancy Mace, a Republican member of the Problem Solvers Caucus herself, also voted alongside Democrats to remove McCarthy.{{Cite news|first=Sarah |last=Juliegrace|date=2023-10-03 |title=

The schism formed from this event persisted long after the vote, with the caucus acting only in small groups rather than as a 64-member bloc for bipartisan issues. Republican members were looking at removing Democratic members who did not cross the aisle often enough, while Democratic members believed the caucus were not doing enough to combat the far-right influence in the general GOP.{{Cite news|first1=Olivia|last1=Beavers|first2=Nicholas|last2=Wu|date=2024-03-09
