舒默威胁因医疗保健条款引发政府关门

摘要

参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默警告称,如果共和党不同意在即将出台的支出立法中纳入关键医疗保健条款,政府可能面临关门风险。

参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默表示,如果共和党不同意在即将出台的支出立法中纳入关键医疗保健条款,他愿意冒着九月底政府关门的风险。此前,舒默因三月份与共和党一起投票维持政府运转而受到批评,但他现在坚称民主党人在要求保护医疗补助等项目方面团结一致,反对进一步削减资金。他认为,自今年早些时候以来,政治格局已经发生变化,共和党通过了大规模的减税和削减开支措施,减少了医疗保健项目的资金。 以参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩为首的共和党指责民主党将政府关门作为政治策略,坚决主张通过一项不含有争议医疗保健条款的“纯净”临时拨款法案。虽然部分共和党人可能支持延长《平价医疗法案》的税收抵免,但他们反对将其纳入短期支出协议。特朗普政府近期对外援资金的削减以及参议院日益加剧的党派紧张局势,使两党谈判更加复杂。 政府关门将导致非必要联邦机构停摆,联邦工作人员包括军人薪水发放延迟。舒默现与众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯立场一致,表示在当前情况下,大多数美国人会将政府关门归咎于特朗普和共和党。
