US EditionSchumer offers deal to reopen federal government, with 1-year ACA tax credit extension
- On Friday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will speak on the Senate floor about a proposal to end the longest government shutdown, which centers on expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.
- Partisan disagreement over pandemic-era subsidies has driven the stalemate in Congress, with Senate Democrats refusing funding bills that ignore expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies and Republicans arguing they are too costly after the COVID emergency ended.
- For the first time, SNAP benefits were not delivered, and the Brookings Institute warned recent changes will make SNAP less responsive in downturns.
- With the House unlikely to follow, Speaker Mike Johnson has declined to promise support for reopening tied to subsidy restoration, while Senate Republicans allow a vote but not passage, and Sen. John Thune said the President is ready to help if the government reopens.
- Brian Blase told senators continuing subsidies raises concerns about fraud and fiscal strain, warning it would exacerbate fraud, increase premiums and deepen debt.
