ObamaCare fight meets shutdown politics: What to know
An ObamaCare deadline has collided with a fight over government funding, as Democrats are signaling they want Republicans to extend the law's expiring premium subsidies before they support any bill to keep the government open.
Without action, enhanced tax credits passed during the COVID-19 pandemic to help people afford coverage will expire at the end of the year. Congress has extended the subsidies twice, but now Republicans control the entire government and ma...

Centrist Democrats fear their party could blunder into a government shutdown this month as Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) are taking a hard line on the government funding package that needs to pass by Sept. 30.
Democrats broadly agree the looming expiration of enhanced health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act — combined with deep cuts to Medicaid that Republicans enacted through the One Big Be...
How An Obamacare Deadline Is Colliding With Shutdown Negotiations
