According to Foresight News, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized a recent Senate vote where eight Democrats joined Republicans to advance a continuing resolution. Sanders expressed concern that this decision could lead to increased healthcare premiums for over 20 million Americans and result in 15 million people losing Medicaid coverage.
Previously, Foresight News reported that the U.S. Senate passed a new continuing funding bill with a 60-40 vote. This legislation aims to provide government funding until January 30, effectively ending the government shutdown.
