"They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States unless they can have over $1 Trillion Dollars in new spending to continue free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!), force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors, have dead people on the Medicaid roles, allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits,"
"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats in the chamber have asked for more money for health care coverage in the budget. In a letter to the Congressional Budget Office, the minority caucus called for a permanent expansion of the premium tax credit structure and to roll back recent coverage restrictions in the health insurance marketplace. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has supported that push, saying any protection of health care "has to be ironclad and in legislation.""
A federal government shutdown looms within days. A meeting with congressional leaders was canceled, followed by assertions tying the budget impasse to demands such as free health care for undocumented immigrants, funding transgender surgeries for minors, alleged Medicaid fraud, and transgender participation in women’s sports. Senate Democrats requested a permanent expansion of premium tax credits and rollback of recent marketplace restrictions, with estimated cost near $67 billion per year. The congressional letter did not mention gender-affirming care for minors or transgender sports participation, and the $1 trillion figure cited is far in excess of the stated estimate.
