The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune (Rs.d), informed the reporters on Tuesday that the Republican leaders are open to the course of health insurance grants under the law on affordable care, but that these talks will take place later this year.
He argued that the tiny -term financing measure on September 30 must be kept “clean” by controversial political drivers.
Thune admitted that the Republicans in the Senate and in the house gave growing support from the extended health insurance subsidies at the end of this year, which would cause millions of Americans to record significant growth in their health premiums.
However, Thune argued that the problem must be negotiated at the end of the year at the end of the year and that it does not have to be adopted on the 45-day continuous solution of the house that the house will be adopted this week.
“I think the ACA supports will be a problem that is addressed, but I think we have to keep the government open at the moment so that we can do medium invoices and work with this solution,” he told reporters.
“I don’t think it will be shortly before the government was closed, which would take place on September 30th,” he said of a cross -party deal to extend health care subsidies.
“I think we currently have a way to keep the government open, continue to work on middle invoices and to have discussions on this topic,” he said.
Thune said he offered the Democrats the tidy, persistent resolution, which was historically the benchmark for maintaining state financing.
He said that he would be “happy to sit down with the democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.), but he emphasized that the democratic leader had to find a good” reason “for a personal conversation.
Thune said that he delegates negotiations on the details of the State Finance Act for the Chairman of the Senate appropriation committee, Susan Collins (R-Main), and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Tom Cole (R-Okla).
“Schumer knows where my office is,” Thune told reporters. “We want to hand over a clean CR, it should be for it. Right? He was in the past. And the acquisition workers work on it.”
However, Democrats have requested that health care be treated in every issue of expenditure.
“Our position remains the following: We want to keep the government open by leading non -partisan negotiations in which we can tackle part of the stern damage Donald Trump Has caused our healthcare system and helped the Americans in living costs, “said Schumer on Monday in his soil remarks.” We haven’t seen it so far. ”
The GOP leader said he could keep the Senate at the meeting on Friday to process a 45-day financing law of the government if he passed the house later a week.
