Shutdown Looms as Democrats Push for Medicaid, Obamacare Subsidy Demands

Democrats proposed repealing July’s Medicaid cuts and extending Obamacare subsidies, aiming to block premium hikes before Nov. 1. Their blueprint funds the government through Oct. 31, while Republicans continue to push for Nov. 21 without health care provisions given. 

Negotiations are being stalled as Chuck Schumer accuses Republicans of forcing a shutdown, while GOP leaders reject said plans as “totally unserious.” With Republicans needing seven Senate Democrats to pass a bill, the Oct. 1 shutdown deadline now gets closer than ever.

A difficult journey marks your CPA badges of honor. Pass, and you’ve conquered a statistically impossible feat than medical school board exams — making your spreadsheets brag-worthy. 😎
