Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday provided a plan to finish the federal government shutdown, headlined by a one-year extension of the improved well being care tax credit and a short-term spending invoice.
“Democrats have said we must address the health care crisis, but Republicans have repeatedly said they won’t negotiate to lower the health care costs until the government reopens,” Schumer stated on the ground, with different Democrats within the chamber. “So let’s find a path to honor both positions.”
“We’d like to offer a simple proposal that would reopen the government and extend the ACA premium tax credits simultaneously, and then have the opportunity to start negotiating longer term solutions to health care costs. Let’s do all three.”
