Schumer: Medicare, prescription drugs hold up final deal
| Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters Tuesday that negotiators still haven’t reached an agreement on language to expand Medicare benefits and lower the price of prescription drugs, two major pieces of their agenda, but insisted “a final deal is within reach.”
Schumer signaled to reporters that Democrats are much closer to an agreement on climate provisions, which he promised would make a “robust” contribution to addressing global warming. |
