Government shutdown enters second week over Obamacare subsidies
AI에 의해 보고됨
The U.S. government shutdown, now in its second week, stems from a partisan standoff in Congress over extending enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits set to expire at the end of 2025. Senate Democrats have blocked Republican funding bills five times, demanding a deal on the subsidies, while Republicans insist on reopening the government first. Impacts include furloughs for over 620,000 federal workers and delayed pay for 1 million active-duty troops.
