Mike Johnson: Schumer Wants to Cut the $50 Billion Fund to Support Rural Hospitals Because ‘We Won’t Agree to Those Partisan Demands’

Johnson: “We just needed a little more time, because tonight is the end of the fiscal year. Chuck Schumer has refused to give the extra time. Why? Because we won‘t agree to restore health care to illegal aliens. Because we won‘t agree to give a half $1 billion back to the corporation for public broadcasting. He wants to cut the big fund of $50 billion that we set aside to support and prop up rural hospitals in America because we won‘t agree to those partisan demands. And $1.5 trillion in new spending on a seven-week stopgap funding measure, he’s decided to shut the government down.”
