Spiraling Effects of the Shutdown Leave Lawmakers Grasping for Ways to End It
The shutdown disrupts food aid for 1 in 8 Americans and delays federal subsidies, while health insurance premiums rise amid ongoing political stalemate in Congress.
- The past month, the federal government shutdown has continued, appearing likely to stretch into another week as the House remains closed under House Speaker Mike Johnson.
- Facing a stalemate over spending, Republicans who control Congress have defended furloughed workers while supporting deep cuts, including nearly $1 trillion and $186 billion removed from SNAP.
- At the same time, many buying coverage through federal and state marketplaces face sticker shock as open enrollment Saturday begins and premium prices jump.
- With Thursday looming, senators are preparing to depart for the long weekend, shrinking the available time for negotiations.
- Looking beyond the shutdown, experts warn that rising premiums and expiring federal subsidies will reduce coverage access, while Trump's `big, beautiful bill` puts 2.4 million people at risk of losing SNAP benefits.
