House Democratic leaders will give remarks Tuesday morning, with just two weeks left for lawmakers to avert a government shutdown.
Republican lawmakers are pushing for a mostly "clean" stopgap funding bill to keep the lights on until Nov. 20, without major concessions on health care that Democrats in both chambers have demanded to gain their support.
A deadline to extend premium subsidies in the Affordable Care Act has collided with the shutdown fight. Without ac...

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...

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...
If Trump wants to cut health spending, he’s defunding the wrong agency
The second Trump administration has made it a core mission to cut spending on public health programs. But ironically, one agency in its crosshairs is pivotal to cost-effectiveness research in health care delivery.
