Senator Chuck Schumer

51,000 people will die at minimum if we don't change the law.

We don't renew the ACA.

When you talk to a mother and she says, my daughter has cancer and she's going to lose her treatment, my daughter's going to die.

That's a moral imperative, not a political imperative, a moral imperative to do something about it.

Yes.

Mike, I couldn't think of a better place to be.

And I know, you know, how strongly you have fought for health care things.

We've had some successful battles together.

There are EpiPens on airplanes, every airplane because of us.

We have more doctor slots because we're so short of doctors, especially primary care.

And we did those fights together.

Yeah.

And now I'm involved in another healthcare battle, a very important one.

Terrific.

Love to.

So like a company, a government has a budget.

Our budget expires September 30th, okay?

And what has always happened in the past is that the Democrats and Republicans, because you need both in the Senate unless one side has 60 votes, which no side really gets.

A supermajority, yeah.

We sit down and negotiate.
