After attorneys general from 15 states, including Washington, filed a motion to intervene in the long-running House v. Price lawsuit over Obamacare insurance subsidies, the Trump Administration has requested a 90-day delay on an appeal. In response, Senator Charles E. Schumer released the following statement:

“Clearly by today’s action and their decision to make the next payment, the White House realizes that eliminating cost sharing reduction payments would cause chaos in the markets, and they would get the blame. Unfortunately, by kicking the can down the road once again, the administration is continuing to sow uncertainty in the markets that will hurt millions of Americans.”
