The US Senate on Thursday rejected rival health care plans put forward by Republicans and Democrats, making it almost certain that insurance subsidies will end this month.

Democrats know that Obamacare has failed.

They themselves have said so on this floor.

But with a deadline quickly approaching again, a deadline that was set by my own Democrat colleagues, they say we have no choice but to extend this failed policy one more time on these premium tax credits.

但是，隨著一個由我自己的民主黨同事設定的截止日期再次迅速逼近，他們卻說我們別無選擇，只能再次延長這項失敗的政策，延長這些保費稅收抵免。
