YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRepublican Senator from Nebraska Pete Ricketts says that republicans are putting forward a plan to 'fix Obamacare' that doesn't include extending ACA subsidies that were intended to 'buck up a system that was failing.' Senator Ricketts also discusses his SAFE act bill to limit high level chip sales to China amid the news that President Trump granted permission for Nvidia to export its H200 chip to China.
Senate Republicans plan to vote this week on a likely futile plan to counter Democrats’ push to extend expiring Obamacare subsidies as health care costs for more than 20 million people are set to spike on Jan. 1.
Neither the Republican legislation announced Tuesday nor Democrats’ proposed three-year extension are expected to get the 60 votes needed for Senate passage. For some Americans, health insurance premiums will double or triple in the new year as the Covid-era tax credits expire.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune promised Democrats a vote to extend enhanced Obamacare premium tax credits, in exchange for reopening the government last month. Republicans have grown increasingly antsy as they face the prospect of voting against Democrats’ three-year extension without an alternative of their own to support instead.
