The Democrats of the Senate block the Gop Bill, extending the closure of the government on Obamacare Fight

A weekend far from Washington did nothing to soften the resolution of the Democrats of the Senate, because they again blocked the efforts of the Republicans to reopen the government, ensuring that the closure will last at least a week.

The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., and most of his caucus are categorical than that a agreement is concluded on affordable care tax credits (ACA), commonly called Obamacare subsidies, they will not provide the necessary votes to finance the government.

The head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, RS.D., needs at least eight democrats to cross the aisle and support the GOP bill, which would reopen the government until November 21.

However, only sense. John Fetterman, d-pa., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., And Angus King, I-Maine, broke with their caucus to end the closure. Meanwhile, Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., Remains the only republican to overthrow his party.

The Democrats of the Senate remained firm in their request that an agreement be concluded to extend the subsidies to the expired Obamacare, which should expire at the end of the year. They argue that in less than the Congress agrees, the Americans who rely on the tax credits will see their health premiums soar.

The two leaders of the Senate encourage talks between the basic members to find a solution, but none of the parties can agree on the moment when subsidies must be processed.

When asked what was the appetite to tackle the subsidies expired in the GOP of the Senate, Thune said that it was “a mixed bag”.

“But as I said, you know, there can be a way to follow,” he said. “I think it would be largely limited to the fact that the White House lands on this subject, but certainly not without reforms. And we all know that the program is broken, it must be corrected, so it would certainly be a starting point.”

Schumer wants an additional replacement added to an agreement: President Donald Trump must sign, since there may be resistance among the Republicans of the Chamber to extend the subsidies of the Act respecting affordable care (ACA).

“Listen, the main thing is that we need the president to be involved. (The president of the Mike room) Johnson and many of his caucus do not like the ACA, do not want to do the extensions,” he said. “Many republican senators in the Senate do it, but they are not enough. The property is not enough.”

“You need Johnson and you need Trump to do so,” he said. “So that’s the essential.”

Trump told journalists in the oval office that “we are talking to the Democrats”. When asked if he worked to conclude an agreement with subsidies in Obamacare to reopen the government, he said “yes”.

“I would like to see an agreement concluded for great health care,” said Trump. I want to see much health care, I am a republican but I want to see much more care than the Democrats. “”

Schumer retaliated in a press release that “Trump’s claim is not true – but if he is finally ready to work with the Democrats, we will be at the table”.

And Fetterman, who regularly voted against the government’s closure, regardless of the party controlled the Senate, admitted that without the green light of Trump, an agreement would not go anywhere.

He gave the example of a bipartite border agreement negotiated between the Republicans and the Democrats in the Senate in 2023 which was sidelined under the orders of Trump.

“He was charged. Trump landed, and he was not the president, and he didn’t have to sign this thing,” said Fetterman. “So what am I saying, where is the lever effect? ​​Because in the end, should it not sign anyway?”
