Republicans are putting democrats on blast for the failures of Obamacare that cost taxpayers $100B a year - and was rammed through congress without any GOP support
Saying,

"Democrats wrote Obamacare in secret, rammed it through on party lines, and now they're holding the American people hostage over its failures."

"We'll gladly debate the law's shortcomings, but only after Schumer ends this shutdown and lets workers get back on the job."

As the federal government shutdown drags on, Senate Democrats have rejected the clean CR bill for the 11th time - with Republicans saying the Obamacare subsidies democrats want to extend - will bankroll illegal migrant healthcare, give priority to illegals and push American care to the back burner.

Fast Facts:
Democrats in the House and Senate crafted and approved the 2,400-page Affordable Care Act without a single Republican vote, using budget reconciliation to bypass the Senate filibuster.
During the pandemic, Democrats created enhanced premium tax credits via the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, with zero GOP support

These credits expanded eligibility and capped out-of-pocket costs
Democrats extended the subsidies through the end of 2025 in the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden bill focused on climate and taxes that passed without a single Republican vote.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that was passed by congress earlier this year, cut federal subsidies for illegal migrants.
Democrats' want to repeal those restrictions, so will not sign the clean CR to reopen the government.
The OBBBA blocked Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for groups like parolees from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela — that fall under the category of "illegals" because they were funneled into the country by Biden.
The Democrats' want to reinstate these subsidies, giving healthcare coverage to about 1.4 million migrants including those under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Critics argue this exploits parole loopholes created under Biden, allowing "free" Obamacare plans that low-income Americans can't access.
Democrat proposals would allow California and other blue states to use funds — often supplemented by federal reimbursements — to extend Medicaid to illegal migrants.
The OBBBA cut hospital reimbursements for illegal migrant care- democrats want to reverse that.
Biden ACA tax credits cap premiums at 8.5% of income for eligible buyers.
Democrats want to extend this to non-citizens creating a "two-tier" system where American citizens wait in longer lines or pay more.
A White House memo says this would prioritize "special Obamacare subsidies for non-citizens"
