US Congress Democrats to include healthcare initiative in their stopgap funding counter-proposal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Congress Democrats planned to unveil on Wednesday their version of legislation keeping the federal government fully operating beyond September 30, while also attaching healthcare provisions that Republicans have vowed to reject. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in an interview on NBC's "Morning Joe" program that the proposal on the verge of being made public "would protect the needs of Americans" while also averting government shutdowns at the end of this fiscal year. In a speech to the Senate following that interview, Schumer said the measure would be of "short duration," but did not provide the precise end date. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-congress-democrats-healthcare-initiative-180745479.html
