Republican leaders reject Democratic health care demands for bill to avoid shutdown

Republicans propose a funding bill without health care subsidies, aiming to avoid shutdown; Democrats insist on subsidy extension for millions benefiting since the pandemic, creating legislative impasse.

  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Democrats "have a choice to make" as the September 30 deadline for a government shutdown approaches.
  • Democrats' top demand is that Republicans agree to extend health care tax credits that have made health insurance more affordable for millions since the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The House is expected to vote on a stopgap measure by Friday to keep federal agencies funded through November 21, buying lawmakers more time to work out spending differences.
