"We will not support spending legislation advanced by Senate Republicans that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits,"
"People need healthcare, damn it. Not some lame promise about a mythical future vote."
"Make no mistake, as some Senate Democrats consider surrender, Republicans are losing this fight,"
"This 'deal' is a surrender that all congressional Democrats should reject out of hand,"
Eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans to advance a short-term funding measure that would fund the government through the end of January. The agreement pairs that continuation with a package of annual spending bills and includes a promise of a December vote on a bill to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. The promised December vote would be subject to a 60-vote threshold, making passage unlikely. House Democrats pledged to oppose funding legislation that fails to guarantee ACA tax-credit extensions. Progressive groups and several representatives characterized the agreement as inadequate and vowed resistance.
