Republicans have reached across the aisle in an attempt to prevent a shutdown. While we would prefer full repeal and defunding of Obamacare, we are willing to settle for a one year delay of the individual mandate and to end the special exemptions for Members of Congress. This approach is good policy, fair, and reasonable. “Unfortunately, the President and the Senate Majority Leader have simply refused to negotiate. Time is running out, and I am hopeful we are able to resolve this impasse as soon as possible.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
