Senators brace for another possible shutdown in January
Senators in both parties are bracing for another government shutdown next year after Republicans blocked a proposal to extend expiring health insurance subsidies, the issue that triggered the 43-day closure that consumed much of the fall calendar.Liberal Democrats in the Senate are fuming that Republicans blocked a proposal to extend the subsidies, which are due to expire in January, through 2028.
A group of eight Democrats, mostly centrists, voted last month to reopen the government in hopes that Republicans might agree to a bipartisan compromise to prevent health insurance premiums for plans on the ObamaCare marketplace from soaring by double digits.
Instead, the bipartisan talks to extend the subsidies foundered, setting the stage for a massive spike in health care premiums next year.

Isn't time for covid era subsidies to end?
These payments were for people who didn't qualify for obozo care, but the gov helped anyways during covid due to the gov telling them they couldn't go to work.
Well now covid is over and they been back to work for at least three, maybe four years now. So why shouldn't the subsidies be ended?
Are there any good reasons not to? I mean, reasons that go beyond the dems idea that more people on the dole is somehow a good thing.
