Senate Democrats are again urging Republicans to negotiate extending enhanced Obamacare premium tax credits, buoyed by sweeping gubernatorial elections in Virginia, New Jersey and a mayor’s race in New York City. Following this week's elections, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said lawmakers’ government shutdown fight should continue unless President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) commit to extending the ACA credits.
Dr. Susan J. Blumenthal has served under four US presidents, having achieved the rank of Rear Admiral (Ret.) with the US Public Health Service, is a former Assistant Surgeon General, and was the nation's first-ever Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women's Health. She currently works as a visiting professor with the MIT Media Lab. Dr. Blumenthal examines the impact of the ongoing government shutdown on the nation's millions of health-benefit recipients, and also details some of her advanced research on key issues affecting women's health -- particularly breast cancer. Dr. Blumenthal speaks with Norah Mulinda and Bailey Lipschultz on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
