WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, on Saturday demanded a meeting with President Donald Trump to avoid a government shutdown when funding ends on September 30.

In a letter addressed to Trump, Schumer and Jeffries said Republican congressional leaders had repeatedly and publicly refused to engage in bipartisan negotiations to keep the government open at the direction of the president.

"Democrats have been clear and consistent in our position. We are ready to work toward a bipartisan spending agreement that improves the lives of American families and addresses the Republican healthcare crisis," Schumer and Jeffries wrote.

Comment:
Every spending bill Chuck Schumer tries to hold the American citizens hostage for more money.
He treats the Taxpayers like they are his slaves.
Schumer and Jeffries are lying to everyone again.
There is no "Republican healthcare crisis"
That is an entirely invent phony issue.
The Democrats are trying to get some traction on an issue to help them become relevant again.
If there is shutdown it will be Schumer's fault.

So what if it is his fault? at least he is standing up for something (which BTW Trump supported but then sold out to get his tax cuts in the BBB). There really is no solid reason they should cut access to medicaid for 59-64 year olds. Some people's bodies give out early and it takes so long to get disability, forcing them to work just to be able to manage their pain and illness is just cruel.

It seems Dekster is ill informed with the details of what Schumer is demanding.
The republican have a clean CR for 2 months to keep the government open, and Schumer
wants to throw nearly 3/4 of a trillion in extra spending...mostly for the illegals

Schumer wouldn't dare cause a shutdown. That would give Trump uncontrolled authority to do anything he wants, including firing the remaining saboteurs still employed by the federal government.

That POS threatened SCOTUS judges.

Illegals don't get Medicaid funding, other than in rare emergency circumstances. The GOP is cutting funds from hospitals.

Please stop "helping".

 

[RhodyPatriot]

If there is shutdown it will be Schumer's fault.

And the Demonrats will be blamed for it.

Politically, it's a losing gambit.

Dems are screwed because they created the Frankenstein's monster of a base that they now must obey - but said base harbor opinions that are political anathema to Joe Six Pack normie.

Poor dears.

The political wilderness beckons.

Here's Greenbeard right on cue!

We tried to tell you Obamacare subsidies would come to an end... this is it!





Your sources are illegitimate.

California itself has spent billions on Medi-cal for illegals.

 

[Greenbeard]

It's not news that the GOP is trying to jack up middle class Americans' premiums, they've been after this for over a decade. If they "win" the shutdown then millions of Americans see massive premium increases when open enrollment starts on November 1.

California itself has spent billions on Medi-cal for illegals.

There's no federal match for state spending on illegals, so that's just California's money. You can't cut federal spending that doesn't exist.

What the GOP is actually doing is choking off funds for children's hospitals.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Apparently it's not factual, at least to the majority of Americans who voted for Trump and put him in the White House - and will make 2026 Democrats the first non-incumbents in over two decades to lose the mid terms.

But you rock on with your bad self.

Not the children again!!



GOP is "choking" off funds to those that weren't eligible in the first place.
Anyone can go to the ER for "free."

False.

Trump’s Medicaid Cuts Were Aimed at ‘Able-Bodied Adults.’ Hospitals Say Kids Will Be Hurt.

Some children’s hospitals collectively stand to lose billions of dollars in revenue once Trump’s wide-ranging tax and spending law, which Republicans called the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” is fully enacted, according to the Children’s Hospital Association. Kids account for nearly half of enrollees in Medicaid, the state and federally financed health program for low-income and disabled people, and its related Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Meyer, though, warned that unless some cuts are reversed, Phoenix Children’s would lose about $172 million a year in payments that supplement the health system’s regular Medicaid revenue, for treating low-income children covered by the program. Medicaid typically pays lower rates for care than commercial insurance or Medicare, the federal program for people age 65 and older.

The supplemental payments, known as state-directed payments, are financed largely by federal taxpayers through complicated tax arrangements adopted by nearly all states. The payments have helped the Phoenix system open additional pediatric clinics, increase mental health staffing, and screen children for abuse and other trauma, Meyer said.

A provision of Trump’s law would cap the amount of directed payments states could make to any hospital, including those for children. But the cap, which doesn’t take effect until 2028, will be phased in over a decade — and hospitals are already lobbying to ensure that never happens. Days after voting for Trump’s law, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced legislation that would eliminate provisions of the measure cutting Medicaid payments to hospitals.

If the law isn’t changed, at least 29 states would need to reduce their payments, according to an analysis by KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News.

The extra Medicaid funds, on average, make up more than a third of children’s hospitals’ total Medicaid revenue and about 14% of their operating revenue overall, according to the Children’s Hospital Association.

I suspect that both of us oppose the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Sadly, only one of us knows it.
