Today on the Senate floor: Democrats made an offer to Republicans to re-open the government and extend the ACA tax credits for one year. We’re calling their bluff. The ball is in their court.

We’re Calling Their Bluff.

Registered Democrat here, We were offered this three weeks ago. Let me repeat, you could have had your ACA extension, your SNAP benefit extension & Federal worker pay DURING THE SHUTDOWN, and we voted NAY.

ACA made health insurance mandatory; Biden temporarily subsidized premiums, with $24B yearly to insurers. Subsidies expire in 2025, hiking costs ~300%, a deliberate bribe. Obama and Biden did this to buy votes and create a wedge issue for leverage.

That would be great Christmas present from Mr. Trump to those million people who depend on that care act . It will show how Kind Mr. Trump by agree to open the Goverment and extend that care act+. I believe Mr Trump is in-fact a good leader that wants to help its citizens. Opening the Goverment would be act of hero of Him .

Taxpayers are covering 87% of all premiums through these ACA subsidies. Throwing more taxpayer dollars at a failing program isn’t a viable solution. It does nothing to bring premiums down. All it does is shift the burden of payment onto taxpayers who are facing high employer premiums of their own. You can’t bankrupt the restricts in order to accommodate 7% of the population.

So, your proposal is: 1. The Dems get their way for the next year. 2. Next year, we arrive at the same point where we are right now. Got it.

If it’s so affordable, why do you have to extend subsidies?

It’s a shit offer Chuck. We all know it. You don’t get to make those kind of offers. The counter offer: open it up, or they nuke the filibuster. When they do that, just buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Enough with your lies and fear-mongering. The shutdown is all on you Chucky. Pass the clean CR already. Everything you're demanding you lost in the Big Beautiful Bill, and you think you're going to strong-arm @realDonaldTrump to get it back, you're more stupid than I thought. #SchumerShutdown

These credits were not part of Obamacare, but a temporary help during COVID. How about we tackle the difficult problem directly? The solution can’t always be to tax and spend.

You guys keep ignoring the elephant in the room. The program is not working and government should have stayed out of the health insurance business. When you have to prop the program up for decades with billions is taxpayer subsidies, it isn’t “affordable”. It is actually another program devaluing the dollar.

Your offer is a way of blackmailing the Rep.. Offering one year of ACA will put you right at midterms in 2026 which was your plan all along so you can pull the same stunt you’re doing now.

It’s wild how politics keeps boiling down to games of chicken, while everyone else is stuck on the side of the road waiting for a ride. The country shouldn’t feel like collateral in these power plays. At some point, winning the PR battle starts to look like losing the bigger war.

You’re a disgrace Schumer. Stop hurting the American people and retire.
Replying to @SenSchumer
There is nothing to negotiate, Chuck. The Bill at issue is the clean CR. Tell 5 of your Party’s Senators to vote yes. You can then negotiate whatever deal you think you can get to try to shore up your disastrous Obamacare scheme.

Saying that this negotiation tacit is only engaging in negotiations AFTER the government reopened is like putting the cheese on your burger as soon as it hits the grill, oh wait.
