Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper are calling on Washington D.C. on Friday to shop for support for their proposed health care coverage reforms.

The Republican from the Buckeye State and the Democrat from the Rockies last week were joined by six other governors to suggest a bipartisan fix to Obamacare, including stabilizing insurance markets and containing costs. The proposal received praise from some on both sides of the aisle.

Kasich and Hickenlooper will speak Friday morning in D.C. at an event sponsored by the conservative American Enterprise Institute and liberal Center for American Progress.

Kasich also is expected to call on members of Congress as it continues its debate over how to reform, or replace, the Affordable Care Act.

Hickenlooper is among governors (not including Kasich) scheduled to testify before the Senate Health Committee on Thursday.

Ohio's governor also is scheduled to appear on CBS This Morning around 8 a.m. Wednesday to discuss President Donald Trump's proposal to end the program that permits the children of undocumented immigrants to remain in America and other topics, a spokesman said.
