What is going to take to stop politicians from ever saying the words health care? Stay out of my healthcare.
Actually, stay out of my life. I won’t mind a shutdown.
Additionally, a shutdown would likely fall on the Democrats because the continuing resolution requires 60 votes to pass the Senate.
The Republicans only have 53 senators, which means seven Democrats to cross the aisle.
Voting is scheduled to begin today at 5:00 PM ET.
Anyway…this is a short post because supposedly, health care is the one thing keeping those Democrats from voting for the CR.
I saw this tweet from Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS). He tried to refute Sen. Chris Murphy:
So who is correct?
Well, I googled “Democrats COVID shutdown” and found Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-L) website, which seems to confirm both men:
Permanently extending Biden’s COVID pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies
The Democrats also want to fund free health care for illegal aliens.
Overall, the Democrats want $1.5 trillion for only a four-week extension.
(Really trying not to rant…but, you know, if you cut the government, it’d be easier to just pass a yearly budget.)
I bet the Democrats cave to prevent the mass firings that the Trump administration warned would come with a shutdown.
