Ex-Lawmakers Tell Biden to ‘Finish the Job’

Politico reports “21 former House Democrats who lost their seats in 2010 amid GOP attacks over their support for the Affordable Care Act are asking President Joe Biden to use reconciliation to shore up the legislation that ended their careers.”

“The letter comes as the White House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are working feverishly through the weekend to iron out disagreements over the reconciliation package. As we reported a few days ago, chief among those disagreements is a big decision on health care: whether to make the ACA’s enhanced subsidies permanent (which is what Pelosi wants), or to instead put that limited pot of cash into a Medicare expansion (which is what Biden, Schumer and Bernie Sanders want).”
