Friday is day 38 of the Schumer Shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats previously shut down the government because they want to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded healthcare.
After failing to reopen the government more than a dozen times, Schumer on Friday proposed a new plan to end the shutdown.
Senate Democrats are now proposing a one-year extension of Obamacare – Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which are set to expire soon.
Schumer offered his new crazy plan from the Senate floor on Friday.
“Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability,” Schumer said.
Schumer continued, “Leader Thune just needs to add a clean one-year extension of the ACA tax credits to the CR so that we can immediately address rising health care costs.”
“Democrats have said we must address the health care crisis, but Republicans have repeatedly said they won’t negotiate to lower the healthcare costs until the government reopens,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
“So let’s find a path to honor both positions,” he said.
“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 healthcare costs. Let’s do all three,” Schumer added.
WATCH:
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is not having it and will not cave to Schumer’s Obamacare demands.
“Cracks are forming. After 38 days, Democrats abandon their original and equally unserious proposal. Extending the COVID bonuses *is* the negotiation — something that can only take place after the government reopens. Release the hostage. End the pain,” Thune’s office said.
