Schumer also knows that with the end of funding by the feds for expanded Medicare (as legislated long ago), blue states that bought all-in on that program are screwed. Either they drop hundreds of thousands of enrollees or they'll have to massively raise state taxes to cover the shortfalls. The same goes with subsidizing health insurance plans. The subsidies were to end per legislation from years ago but now that the chickens have come home to roost, the Democrats are fucked because of the massive shortfalls in funding that result.
This is all the Democrat's making. Of course, they thought they'd just be able to tax and spend on the credit card indefinitely until all the subsidies became permanent or so expensive they could sell universal government run health insurance, and care as a "cheaper" alternative.
