CNN’s Jake Tapper faces HakEem Jeffries, a minority leader, on Wednesday.
Tapper asked Jeffries about the extension of the Obamacare subsidy after the Democratic Party and the Republican Party was closed on Wednesday, which the Democratic Party and Republicans failed to reach the expenditure agreement before the end of the fiscal year.
The CNN host said the Republican Party said, “It is characterized by the intention of providing health insurance to unlawful immigrants. I understand that it is not actually an accurate description.” Jeffris replied, “It’s a lie.”
“It’s a lie, but what you apply for is to reclaim the fund for emergency Medicaid in the hospital. Some of them pay unused immigrants and people without health insurance.It also has this clause, and this provision is not a provision of asylum applicants and those with temporary protection status. Tapper asked.

Jeffris argued that the Democratic Party was fighting the “biggest” cut with Medicaid, pointing out the “big and beautiful bills” supported by the Republican Party.
“You are talking about subsidies again, but I’m talking about non -citizenship.” Tapper has pushed back.
The House of Representatives’s ethnic leaders argued that the Democrats are trying to save medical care for 14 million Americans.
“Do you think that a provision that provides health care to non -citizens will bear the message?” Tapper presses.
