EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "My Republican colleagues, remember, if you continue to allow the President to do this, if we don’t make cost-sharing permanent, the system will deteriorate. And guess whose back it will be on? Yours, my Republican friends. You’re in charge. And when people get a bad health care bill, you can blame anyone you want. You’re in charge. Fix it. Refusing to guarantee the cost-sharing payment is nothing short of sabotage, and the repeated attempts to pass TrumpCare will only make things worse. The White House ought to step up and say once and for all that they will continue to make the cost-sharing payments permanently. And Republicans in Congress ought to drop their repeal efforts and instead work with us on stabilizing the market and improving the health care system."
