Is the government about to shut down? Congressional leaders and the White House appear to be at an impasse, even after President Donald Trump gave in and scheduled a meeting for Monday to try and get a deal done (though that meeting did not go well). The core of the issue is subsidies connected with the Affordable Care Act, financial assistance that is due to expire at the end of the year. Without it, millions of Americans could see their healthcare premiums skyrocket, with costs rising by hundreds of dollars a month. But the GOP hasn’t been very interested in talking about these funds, despite the fact that millions of Republican voters benefit from them. To understand what the healthcare fight is really about and what happens next, we spoke to Julie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent for KFF and host of the healthcare podcast, “What the Health.” And in headlines, Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer tries to turn down the temperature on rhetoric after a deadly attack at a Latter-Day Saints church, Jared Kushner is a gamer (or at least he’s going to buy a video game company along with Saudi Arabia), and MAGA world reacts to the news that Bad Bunny will play the Super Bowl halftime show.

  • It's Tuesday, September 30th.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day,

  • the show that would prefer corporations stop paying President Donald Trump over lawsuits that haven't even gotten to court.

  • For any reason.

  • Ever.

  • Just don't do it.

  • On today's show,

  • Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer tries to turn down the temperature on rhetoric after a deadly attack at a Latter-day Saints Church in the state.

  • And Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is a gamer.

  • Well, he's going to buy a video game company along with Saudi Arabia.

  • That counts.

  • But let's start with the possible government shutdown tomorrow.

  • And that possibility is getting more real by the second,

  • as congressional leaders and the White House appear to be at an impasse,

  • even after Trump gave in and scheduled a meeting for Monday to try and get a deal done,

  • though that meeting did not go well.

  • The sticking point is healthcare.

  • Here's House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffery speaking on Monday.

  • And the reality is,

  • that in a matter of days notices are going to go out to tens of millions of Americans making clear that their healthcare is about to become dramatically more expensive in ways that will actually cause medical bankruptcy for many or some to have to forego necessary healthcare.
