WASHINGTON (AP) — The longest government shutdown in history could conclude as soon as Wednesday, Day 43, with almost no one happy with the final result.
Democrats didn’t get the heath insurance provisions they demanded added to the spending deal. And Republicans, who control the levers of power in Washington, didn’t escape blame, according to polls and some state and local elections that went poorly for them.
The fallout of the shutdown landed on millions of Americans, including federal workers who went without paychecks and airline passengers who had their trips delayed or canceled. An interruption in nutrition assistance programs contributed to long lines at food banks and added emotional distress going into the holiday season.
The agreement includes bipartisan bills worked out by the Senate Appropriations Committee to fund parts of government — food aid, veterans programs and the legislative branch, among other things. All other funding would be extended until the end of January, giving lawmakers more than two months to finish additional spending bills.
Here’s a look at how the shutdown started and is likely to end.
What led to the shutdown
Democrats made several demands to win their support for a short-term funding bill, but the central one was an extension of an enhanced tax credit that lowers the cost of health coverage obtained through Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
The tax credit was boosted during the COVID-19 pandemic response, again through President Joe Biden’s big energy and health care bill, and it’s set to expire at the end of December. Without it, premiums on average will more than double for millions of Americans. More than 2 million people would lose health insurance coverage altogether next year, the Congressional Budget Office projected.
“Never have American families faced a situation where their health care costs are set to double — double in the blink of an eye,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-
While Democrats called for negotiations on the matter, Republicans said a funding bill would need to be passed first.

Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.
Call them today (and tomorrow); make sure they hear from people who support the Democratic caucus position: no end of the shutdown unless the Republicans fix funding for healthcare.

Call your Democratic senators, demand that they stand firm against kicking millions off the already-pitiful healthcare they can access:

#CallToAction Call your Democratic senators and urge them NOT TO CAVE. Giving in, in the name of bipartisanship, will kill people. NO ONE but the super rich can afford the end of health subsidies. As shitty as the ACA is right now, it's keeping millions alive.
