But Senator Schumer continues to promote keeping the government closed until his buddies from the big insurance companies whose stocks have soared now under Obamacare get another $30 billion or more injected right into their bank accounts. That's what Chuck Schumer came to the floor yesterday and demanded government stay enclosed until you guys all send $30 billion directly to the insurance companies. (08:07–08:26)
