Episode notes
Shutdown Tied To ACA Subsidy Fight
- The shutdown is driven by Republicans refusing to extend ACA premium tax credits that 22 million Americans rely on.
- Letting the credits expire would more than double premiums for millions and push 4 million off insurance.
White House Split: Politics Vs. Ideology
- Trump's team contains factions that prioritize dismantling the ACA over political consequences.
- Political operatives worry the cuts are terrible politics while policy hardliners push them forward.
Demand Rollback Not Delay
- Democrats should demand Republicans roll back the health-care cuts rather than accept a clean continuing resolution.
- Insist negotiations now so premiums don't spike and coverage isn't taken away in January.
