US EditionDemocrats consider prolonging the shutdown as Republicans prepare new bills without health care fix
- On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., pushed a new bipartisan package to end the shutdown as bipartisan talks intensified in Washington, D.C.
- Democrats, citing expiring health care subsidies that expire in January, have repeatedly voted against reopening the government while Republicans remain five votes short in roll calls.
- The proposed package would fund food aid, veterans programs and the legislative branch while extending other funding until December or January, and Senate leaders designed the plan to replace the House-passed bill that Democrats have repeatedly rejected.

- That short extension would only fund the government until Nov. 21, as lawmakers from both parties urged action to ease airport disruptions, pay government workers and restore food aid.
