Republicans are just plain unserious about funding the ACA subsidies. They’ll come up one bullshit reason after another why “we just don’t have the votes.” Abortion coverage is always an obsession with them so it’s a good place to start, in their view. I hate that we have to depend on these congressional troglodytes to extend funding all the time.

Trump could always tell the Republican reps to back down on this and they would jump to obey like Schatz said, but what are the chances he’d do that?
