Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has denied that bipartisan health care talks are happening between him and President Trump, but said he is open to negotiations if the president wants to work with Democrats. This comes after Trump claimed in the Oval Office on Monday that a negotiation was underway between the two parties over health care reform. The issue of extending expiring subsidies for insurance plans remains a central demand for Democrats during the ongoing government shutdown fight. If Trump and Republicans are willing to sit down and negotiate, Schumer is ready to make it happen and work towards a solution for American families.
