Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned President Trump that Republicans would face voter backlash if they failed to extend Obamacare subsidies, putting healthcare for 20 million Americans at risk. It is absolutely disgraceful that political leaders would rather play blame games than protect vulnerable citizens' access to healthcare.
The federal government is shutting down due to a dispute over extending Obamacare subsidies, with Republicans falsely claiming Democrats want to provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants while Democrats seek to restore coverage for legally present immigrants. This cynical political manipulation is holding millions of Americans' healthcare hostage and deliberately spreading misinformation that undermines both our democracy and vulnerable communities.
