Does it also extend open enrollment?

What if Trump refuses to sign it?
Veto override? Do they have the votes?
I doubt it.

It will be interesting to see what the Senate will do.
9 GOP house members voted for it.
Which GOP turd will filibuster it?
Cancun Cruz always had a hard on for killing it. I doubt he will though, he lacks the spine to oppose something popular.

Looks to me that the MAGA functionaries on Capitol Hill are starting to believe what Darth Cheney said so well: "Elections have consequences"...
