No annual budget, just a temporary splurging bill that gets them through the Christmas recess.

“.. Senators Jon Tester of Montana and Sherrod Brown of Ohio have both faced intense pressure...”

Ohio’s current U.S. Senators are Jon Husted (R) and Bernie Moreno (R).

Schumer is demanding a one year extension of the ACA subsidies to reopen the Government.
He wants to kick this problem into next year just before the midterms so the democRats can hammer them again.

Considering the fact that Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown are no longer senators, I question the validity of this report.

Schumer has chosen to keep the government closed to protect his political priorities.

That’s going to be headlines in the midterm election.

Never forget nor trust democrats actions.

Prime Democratic directive: Say and do whatever it takes to get elected. However once you are here do exactly what you are told.

At the center of the standoff is a straightforward continuing resolution pushed by the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans. It would reopen the government at current spending levels, extend funding for border security, and remove most of the bloated, left-wing earmarks Democrats have been fighting to preserve. Schumer, however, has rejected every iteration—insisting that any deal must include extending the temporary assistance Democrats popped into Obamacare in the Covid era.

In other words, dims still gonna get their pork and RINOs gonna RINO.

Squish Republicans see this a a victory but it is a failure and an indictment. They have shown the American people that the Democrats can eat their lunch and when the dust settles the MAGA movement is the loser. Their weak sister act will cost them the midterms and America will lose much more than an election.

Yesterday I modeled Obamacare for a family of four just to see the cost. For a Bronze plan with no deductible and $20k max out of pocket the cost was $419 a month. The kicker was the govt subsidy which was $2500 a month! This is assuming the family income was roughly $40k.

Schumer wants concessions - so the stratospheric rising costs of Obamacare are not exposed pre-midterms. btw continuing the wasteful Biden level of spending authorized by the CR is already TOO MUCH of a Republican Concession.

What’s not being said by using the term “American People” is that some of the hardest hit are those that live off government handouts and those that live paycheck to paycheck, which are a large part of the dem base.

"The calculus is simple: while Schumer and the activist Left pretend to be fighting Trump, they’re actually punishing the American people. Air travel delays are now estimated to worsen dramatically as TSA staffing dwindles. National Parks have shut down entirely. Federal contractors are losing wages they’ll likely never recover. These are the kinds of tangible frustrations that voters remember—and blame the party in power for."

The sad thing is, this shutdown actually provides a wonderful opportunity and that opportunity has largely gone to waste.

A bill to abolish the parks should have been pushed. Every "National" Park should be pushed to each state (respectively) where it resides so that this is no longer a weapon of the federal government. And above all else, the parks are unconstitutional anyways.

A bill to de-nationalize the airports should have been pushed. Why are any paychecks anywhere within the travel system dependent upon kickbacks from the government? This doesn't need a bailout and it's a mistake from the 1930s that can, should, but sadly, won't be remedied.

The TSA should be totally abolished as an institution and pushed to private. The government's incompetence has been repeatedly been proven. Why does what is ultimately simple security need to be nationalized? Abolish it.

And while not mentioned here, the government's domination over schools coming to an end was a campaign promise which has not been realized - the Department of Education - nobody from the administration still, still, has bothered to ask Congress to abolish it.

We desperately need relief from this domination of government over our lives, and there is no relief anywhere in sight. At best all we have seen are reductions. True, the reductions have been real and tangible but they are all ultimately temporary. We all know this. The sober know, the next administration is going to inflate these agencies all back up as if there never was a Trump presidency to begin with.

Something, somewhere, anywhere, needs to be formally abolished. The tally right now is a big fat zero.

Chamber of Commerce Hospital Service Resale Site

Capital Fund contributors shall have a right to buy hospital services to be provided at Big City Memorial Hospital at 1.25 times the Medicare rate up to their contract amount.

Capital Fund contributors shall have a right to buy hospital services to be provided at Sibley Hospital at 1.20 times the Medicare rate up to their contract amount.

We were able to purchase the future services and access rights to future services at about 8% less.

The contract amount typically remains your Capital Fund contribution [minimum $10,000] plus the security amount lien placed on your real property.

This is not insurance, only partial prepayment with price limitations.

HOSPITAL COST REDUCTION [by 2028]

Break most hospitals into two highly competitive entities. Convert other hospitals into real estate leasing entities with competing surgical suites and nursing wings.

SEPARATE OUT DRUG COVERAGE

Without having to manage drug coverage, hospital systems can run care coverage systems and cut out most insurance company overhead and meddling. The co-pays and co-insurance would generally be equal to the hospital system’s marginal cost so there would be little reason to say no to a doctor’s request except for medical (or moral) cause.
