Chuck Schumer Unveils 'Real Plan' To Stop Government Shutdown: 'Democrats Want To Meet The American People's Needs'

Democrats seek to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts in their funding plan to prevent government shutdown starting Oct. 1.

  • Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer unveiled a legislative plan on Wednesday to fund the government and protect millions from rising healthcare costs.
  • This plan aims to continue the subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, despite Republican opposition to including these provisions in a short-term funding bill, raising the possibility of a government shutdown by October 1.
  • House Republicans advanced a 91-page stopgap funding bill on Tuesday to keep the government open through November 21, excluding healthcare subsidy extensions but including increased security funds related to recent political violence.
  • Schumer stated on X that Republicans want the 'same old status quo,' while accusing President Trump of pushing for a shutdown by urging Republicans not to negotiate.
  • The standoff suggests an imminent government shutdown late this month unless bipartisan negotiations succeed, as Democrats need at least eight Republican Senate votes to advance legislation.
