Meanwhile, the ACA subsidies are expiring, rural hospitals are closing, grocery prices are increasing, and we can't access our own government services that we paid for.

NO KINGS.

Good f maga. They want the progressive era reforms rolled good. I am sick and tired of paying for rural hospitals, ACA subsidies, paying for roads, building infrastructure, high speed internet, etc for rural areas. The democrats need a plan to depopulate and destroy these rural areas.

Constitution says judges salaries shall not be cut. How is this done during a shutdown?

Don't forget about the 40 Billion to support "libertarians" in Argentina.

Why would a temporary subsidy make healthcare affordable, while the original ACA (AFFORDABLE care act) wasn't affordable? It doesn't make sense. It sounds like a handout to get people on government reliance.

The health insurance companies are behind the standoff.

Seriously, where is the off ramp here? At this point, the CR the republicans want voted for only goes til 11/21 anyway.

They need to get the government open. So many people missing paychecks, so many services not filled or at risk. I’m so frustrated.

I personally think the democrats should sign the 7 week CR at the end of the month to bring back on Monday 11/3. Americans on ACA will receive their increase notices on/about 11/1. That hike will create enough outrage. Dems can say the GOP agreed to negotiate ACA subsidies in the full year bill. Let Feds get back pay and another 2 checks before a thanksgiving. Returning 11/3 gives everyone 3 weeks to negotiate a deal. If the GOP refuse to extend subsidies (with added pressure from constituents) in the next CR of full year bill, then shut it down again.

the house has basically not been in session since July, meaning they haven't been working on an actual budget bill at all.

I know! This is the only “off ramp” I can think of. Otherwise how long does shutdown go—until January. It’s not fair to punish 750,000+ federal workers. Congress can pass a full year CR (likely) and tuck an extension provision in there.

They cannot shut it down again, because regular budget bills cannot be filibustered. Perhaps Republicans would have to wait until next year for this.

Committees have been meeting.
Plus the House leader usually just presents his own bill real quick.
