"Democrats in the House of Representatives say they will seek a discharge petition to restore expired tax credits for people on the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) insurance exchanges after the measure was excluded from the bill to fund the federal government that passed earlier this week. President Donald Trump signed the continuing resolution bill into law on Wednesday evening, shortly after it was passed by the House that same day."
"The short-term funding law will keep the government open until January 30. Trump celebrated the signing of the bill, calling it a "big victory" for Republicans. He also addressed voters directly during the signing, saying they should blame Democrats for the lengthy shutdown. "I just want to tell the American people, you should not forget this. When we come up to midterms and other things, don't forget what they've done to our country," Trump said."
House Democrats will pursue a discharge petition to restore expired tax credits for people on ACA insurance exchanges after those credits were excluded from the continuing resolution that funded the government. President Donald Trump signed the short-term funding bill after the House and Senate passed it, ending a 43-day shutdown without restoring federal health care funding or ACA subsidies. The continuing resolution keeps the government open until January 30. Polling indicated more Americans sided with Democrats on the shutdown. Failure to restore the credits would harm tens of millions of Americans and could potentially double premiums for many enrollees.
