conservatives on and off the hill licking their chops. they have to keep the government open, funding the government, csr payments, daca. nobody on the hill can answer that, including his closest allies. it will be a very difficult month for him. big stakes make big winners if he pulls it off. courtney? i have chose especially air force leadership. secretary wilson and chief of staff of the air force general goldfine. because of their response, they came out and they owned it. they accepted the fact that there was a loophole and they were not reporting this information. because of that, someone got a weapon and killed more than two dozen people in a church on a sunday morning. from the very beginning they have been as forth coming and transparent as possible. it s not something we re accustomed to right now. and it s a great standard. and they also now the entire
made friday and will not be made because congress has not appropriated money for it. csrs are subsidies that are available to some in the obamacare exchanges and meant to lower the out-of-pocket costs for things like deductibles and co-payments. in 2016 house republicans sued the obama administration over these payments, a judge actually sided with them and said they were illegal because congress had not set aside the money. but an appeal was filed by the obama administration, and the payments continued. a week and a half ago the white house announced their plan to end csr payments to insurance companies. one day later 18 states and the district of columbia sued the administration. they claim the payments are required by law. csr payments were set to go out friday, october 20th. those states led by california s attorney general filed an emergency motion on thursday to try and prevent the administration from stopping payment.
were not made friday and will not be made because congress has not appropriated money for it. csr s are subsidies available to some in the obamacare exchanges, meant to limit the out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and co-payments. here s how all of this has gone down. in 2016, house republicans sued the obama administration over these payments. a judge actually sided with them and said they were illegal because congress had not set aside the money, but an appeal is filed by the obama administration and the payments continued. a week and a half in ago, the white house announced plans to end csr payments to insurance companies. 18 states and the district of columbia sued the administration. they claimed the payments are required by law. csr payments were set to go out friday october 20th. those states led by california s attorney general filed an emergency motion on thursday to try and prevent the administration from stopping payments.
want to see some changes. what is your sense? there are mixed messages coming out of the house. but the president recently in the rose garden said and seemed to signal he would support this compromise. as garrett points out there are still a lot of steps that have to take place before it actually gets to his desk. of course it comes after we have heard the president essentially take very sharp aim at obamacare. and remember last week he signed those two executive orders effectively gutting parts of obamacare and stripping these key csr payments, these subsidies that we are talking about that would be restored as a part this compromise. there is a school of thought that the president made those two executive orders for the purpose of bringing democrats and republicans to the table to strike some type of a compromise. the president, i would note, casey in his answer in the rose garden today stressed that he supports a short therm measure. so not something that s going to essentially la
says he agrees to a short-term solution, that s not much clarity. think this is very far from being over, right? a deal in principle up on capitol hill is very, very elusive. trying to get a deal in concrete is just as hard. still think that there are senators that still have to weigh in on this. there may not be the 52 votes. i expect mitch mcconnell can work his magic, but the house side is going to be very difficult, too, because a lot of conservatives of there made very principled arguments about the constitutional nature of these csr payments not being constitutional. so there is still a lot more to be done here. what do you think? will there possibly be the vote for this? it is bipartisan. everybody s talking about how they want things to be bipartisan, in the senate they are. sure. if you go back to august when she s senators were talking about a deal before that was upended by the renewed repeal bill, this is one of the main things. it was a big democratic ask. they knew it
