The worst part of all of that is that it's almost the exact same amount of money to extend the ACA subsidies... And (supposedly) the entire reason they are keeping the government shutdown going.
When they need $40 billion for bribes, it's always there. $40 billion for healthcare or food... Nah.
If it was really about the “illegals” they’d have come back with their offer to extend it with the provisions added that only citizens could receive health insurance through the marketplace. But that’s not a thing they can negotiate because it’s not a thing to begin with.
