Senate Minority Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urged President Trump to negotiate an end to the government shutdown and prevent a healthcare crisis as open enrollment approaches.
Open enrollment is five days away. Starting this Saturday, tens of millions of Americans face the specter of financial crisis, all while Donald Trump is dancing on the tarmac in Malaysia.
Schumer stated that insurance plans will significantly increase in cost, with some plans costing $2,000 a month or more, due to Republicans preferring to shut the government down over working with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits.
