Bakari Sellers and Brad Todd join John Berman on Anderson Cooper 360 to debate the looming government shutdown. From ACA subsidies to Medicaid cuts, to who really controls Washington, this fiery exchange breaks down who’s to blame — and what’s at stake for Americans.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Looming government shutdown and which party bears responsibility.
- Democrats fighting to protect Affordable Care Act subsidies and stop Medicaid cuts that are closing community health centers.
- Republicans framing the fight as subsidies for big insurance companies and accusing Democrats of hypocrisy.
- Negotiation failures in Congress and whether Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson can govern.
- The impact of shutdown politics on everyday Americans (premiums, healthcare access).
