Ah, we had to know that c there'd be a catch. Thanks to the 8 democrats that caved, we have no leverage. No bargaining power.
Senate Republicans say they’re open to extending a pot of Affordable Care Act funds that will expire at the end of the year — but only if Democrats acquiesce to stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

What a surprise these veterans received as they were greeted by President Obama! The look on their faces said it all! What a treat for this @honorflight.bsky.social group! #HappyVeteransDay #HonorFlight
Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

If you are one of the millions of people who depended on Obamacare to have medical coverage, these are the people who took it away.

I am a no on the CR agreement. I respect my colleagues on both sides, but the American people don’t deserve a preventable increase in health care costs.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.
