Government Shutdown Ends, But Healthcare Costs Loom Large

WASHINGTON -‍ President Trump‍ and Republican lawmakers took a victory lap on Tuesday after securing bipartisan support to reopen the government, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history ​without ceding ground to any core Democratic demands.

House members were converging on Washington ​for a final vote expected​ as early as Wednesday, after 60 senators – including seven Democrats and an autonomous – advanced the measure on‌ Monday night. Most Democratic lawmakers in the House are expected to ⁤oppose the continuing resolution, which⁢ does not include an extension of Affordable Care act tax credits that had been a central demand‌ during the shutdown negotiations.

The result, according to independent analysts, is that ‌ premiums will more than double on average for more than⁣ 20⁣ million Americans who use the healthcare marketplace, rising from an average of $888 to $1,904 for out-of-pocket payments annually, according to KFF.

Democrats in the senate who voted to reopen ​the government saeid they had secured a promise from Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South ‍Dakota, that they ⁤would get a vote on extending the tax credits next month.

But the‌ vote is highly likely to fail⁤ down ⁢party lines. And even if it earned ⁣some Republican support,⁣ House Speaker Mike Johnson, a ‌Republican from Louisiana, has made no promises he would give the measure a vote in the lower chamber.

An end to the shutdown comes‌ at a ⁤crucial time for the U.S. aviation industry ahead of one of‍ the busiest travel seasons around the Thanksgiving holiday. The prolonged closure of the ‌federal government led federal employees in⁤ the sector‌ to call out sick in large numbers, prompting an⁣ unprecedented directive from ​the Federation aviation Management that slowed operations at the nation’s biggest airports.

Lawmakers are racing to vote before federal employees working in aviation safety miss yet another paycheck this week, potentially extending‌ frustration within their​ ranks and causing further delays at‍ airports ⁣entering the ‍upcoming‌ holiday week.

It⁣ will‍ be the first time the ⁤House conducts legislative work in over 50 days, a marathon stretch that has‍ resulted in a backlog of work for lawmakers on a wide range of issues, from appropriations and stock⁣ trading regulations to a discharge petition calling for the release of ⁣files in the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry.

“We look forward ⁤to the government reopening this week so Congress can ⁣get back to our regular legislative session,” Johnson told reporters Monday. “There will be long days and long nights here for the foreseeable future to make up for all this​ lost time that was imposed upon us.”

To reopen the government, the spending package needs to pass the house, where republicans hold a‍ slim majority and Democrats have vowed to vote against a deal that does ​not address​ healthcare costs.

Still, Trump and Republican leaders believe they have ⁢enough votes ⁤to
