Schumer hits Trump for waffling over Obamacare payments

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday called on the Trump administration to stop “hemming and hawing” and announce that it will continue to make cost-sharing reduction payments under Obamacare in order to ensure lower premiums for people around the country.

The administration has threatened to cut those payments off due to its opposition to the law. But on Monday, officials said they would continue them if a 90-day extension were granted in a case against the law being heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
