Why did Democrats propose a one‑year ACA subsidy extension to end the shutdown?
Tulosyy, Terveystalon määräaikaistarkastus. Välillä kipua hartioissa, sormissa puutumisoireita. Asiakas kertoo tekevänsä kausiluonteista tiimityötä pakkauslinjastolla, ajoittain epäergonomisissa asennoissa. Pitkän työkokemuksen myötä löytänyt kuitenkin toimivattavat tonttuilla, vielä seuraavatkin sata vuotta.
Me keskitymme terveyteen, jotta tontut voivat keskittyä tärkeimpään.

I hereby designate the period from Monday, November 10th, 2025 through Sunday, November 16th, 2025 as a district work period under clause 13 of rule one. Signed sincerely, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Pursuant to clause 13 of rule one, the House stands adjourned until noon on Monday, November 10th, 2025.
So what you saw right there is the House of Representatives adjoining yet again, shutting down work for one more week. And that'll become multiple other weeks. What? They've worked 12 days over the past 110 days at this point because MAGA Mike has ordered the MAGA Republicans do not show up, do not talk to Democrats. yet alone even negotiate with Democrats. But here's the thing, and I think this was a smart move by Democrats. Democrats on Friday called the bluff of MAGA Republicans and Democrats laid out a plan and said, look, why don't we just try this compromise right now? Because the American people are suffering as Donald Trump is, snatching their SNAP benefits, taking away healthcare from 20 million Americans, not extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies.
So Democrats said, why don't we do this? Let's do a one year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies so we can give the Americans a little bit of breathing room right now.
How did House Republicans label the Democratic compromise as a “non‑starter”?
Then a year from now, let's have a date certain where we can negotiate and address the Affordable Care Act subsidies long term. permanently, or let's come up with a solution. Magus, if you have a better healthcare plan than the Affordable Care Act with the subsidies, bring it up in the next year, but we will force a vote for sure one year from now. Let's make a date certain on that. Let's get the government open. Let's get everybody their SNAP benefits. This should be a not ideal solution, but we know people are suffering. Now, my own view is that the Affordable Care Act subsidies need to be extended permanently. I don't view this as caving, though. I mean, I think it is trying to address the issue in a way that focuses on the fact that Americans are hurting.
Right. So Democrats propose that one year extension. Then we can stop this Trump and MAGA Mike and Republican government shutdown. So what do you think the Republicans say right away? They go, this is a nonstarter. Direct quote from the MAGA Republicans. This is a non-starter for the Republican study committee. The hell do you need to study that? Why doesn't the study committee then put together a health care plan that's viable and that brings down the health care costs instead of Donald Trump just saying he's reducing prescription drug prices by 1700 percent, which is a made up number. That comes from MAGA Republican Congressmember August Folger. And here's the Democratic offer. Let me just outline it a little bit more for you.
What details did Democrats outline for the clean continuing resolution and ACA extension?
It's a clean continuing resolution paired with three bill minibus on these various funding issues. A clean one year Obamacare extension, then establish a bipartisan committee for long term Obamacare funding. Negotiations, extend that Affordable Care Act subsidy a year, do a bipartisan committee, and let's negotiate this in public so we can address the concerns for the American people. MAGA Republican Senator Roger Marshall says, this is a horrible idea regarding the Democrats proposing a one year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Quote, we might as well go home and start over again. It's disappointing that they think that this is what's going to open the government. That's disappointing.
So I just want you to see Democrats called their bluff because you and I, we may be a little pissed that Democrats were going to do that.
