“Go ask the Republicans if they want to shut down the government,” Schumer told reporters, adding that Republican leaders have “fundamentally” not asked Democrats to negotiate.
If the Obamacare subsidies are not renewed, many Americans will receive notices of their health insurance premiums spiking starting with the open enrollment period for insurance for next year beginning November 1. The Democrats’ proposed temporary appropriation bill would last through October 31, just before that open deadline, while the Republicans’ proposal would fund the government through November 21.
Meanwhile, Republican leaders have signaled they do not intend to negotiate healthcare as part of the temporary appropriations process. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters earlier that any short-term spending bill counter-proposal including major healthcare provisions was “utterly unserious,” and discussions on Obamacare subsidies could take place later.
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, who serves as chair of the panel’s spending subcommittee, said she was concerned that not enough Democrats would cross party lines. “They’re certainly under tremendous pressure from Senator Schumer,” she said.
Schumer, in turn, has accused Republicans of being unwilling to negotiate at all, and instead trying to corner Democrats with a “take-it-or-shut-it-down” proposal.
