A Deal That Could Avert a Shutdown

“If they squint, lawmakers can see the outlines of a bipartisan deal that could avoid a government shutdown later this year. But bringing an agreement into focus — and enacting it into law — will be no small task,” Politico reports.

“The general parameters floated by multiple factions in the House and Senate is to couple, by the end of the year, an extension of federal health insurance subsidies that are set to expire on Jan. 1 with government funding through September 2026.”

“But no one is willing to lock in that agreement yet, and getting there could take several more months of negotiations.”
