Schumer Statement on White House CSR Payment

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today released the below statement in response to the White House announcing they will make this month’s cost-sharing reduction payment:

“It is a good thing that they have made these premium and cost-reducing payments one more time, but until they make them permanent, markets will not be as stable and premiums will not be as low as they could be. Insurance markets need certainty.

“Despite yesterday's bravado, President Trump realizes that he is responsible for market stability and if he tries to sabotage it, the blame will land on his desk.”
