[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Democrats did *not* vote to shut the government down. They voted *against* a CR that makes medical insurance financially unattainable for millions of Americans.[/quote]No, they voted against a CR that does not extend the temporary COVID subsidy increase.[/quote]

The CR was already agreed to and the covid subsidies were not included in that, in fact that was passed a while back, why do they think bringing it up now it in any way valid to the prior passed agreement?

Its like singing to buy a house and you pass all inspections and consessions and then someone brings up they don't like the color of the floors and want to delay signing and include that.[/quote]
Because the House back in March used the same "my way or the highway" posture that they are using now, passing their bill then refusing any negotiation with the Senate. Schumer reluctantly voted for their bill, hoping an extension to the subsidies could be worked out during the summer. That didn't happen and Dems see this as their last chance on the subsidies, given that open enrollment begins next month.[/quote]The place to extend subsidies would be in the regular appropriations bills.  The House has passed nine of them out of committee.  What has the Senate done?
I know it has been 15 years since they have passed regular budget bills, but they should still be able to do that.[/quote]

Why would the proper place for a tax subsidy be in an appropriations bill?  There usually are not tax provisions in appropriations bill so that would be out of the ordinary.  In any case, there's no reason a tax subsidy cannot be in a CR.  It's been done before and can be done again.[/quote]
