Government shutdown ends: Johnson says ‘we have volumes of ideas’ on how to fix healthcare
The longest shutdown in U.S. history ended Wednesday night when President Donald Trump signed a spending package that reopened the government and funded it through January.
‘Terminate the filibuster’
The Oval Office ceremony came just hours after the House voted to approve the legislation, which senators passed earlier in the week.
“I hope we can all agree that the government should never be shut down again,” Trump said, before urging Senate Republicans to eliminate the rule that requires bills to garner the support of at least 60 lawmakers to advance. “Terminate the filibuster.”
The 222-209 vote marked the first time that chamber took up a bill since mid-September, when Republican leaders recessed after members approved a stopgap spending measure they knew couldn’t advance in the Senate.
Rising health care costs at the center of the shutdown
That stalemate, centered around sharply rising health care costs, led to a 43-day shutdown that affected nearly every corner of the country, including delayed funding for nutrition programs for millions of Americans, no pay for federal workers, flight delays tied to staffing shortages, and much more.
But after nearly six weeks of failed procedural votes, seven centrist Senate Democrats and one independent broke with party leaders on Sunday to advance the reworked spending package and then voted to approve the legislation Monday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson repeatedly said during the funding lapse that GOP lawmakers have ideas to improve the health care system. However, he didn’t detail any of those publicly and hasn’t committed to a floor vote.
“We have volumes of ideas on how to do this, on how to fix it, on how to drive costs down and how to increase access to care and quality of care, and you’re going to see all that vigorous debate,” Johnson said during a brief press conference after the vote.
Temporary health care subsidies were originally passed as part of the COVID-19-era American Rescue Plan in 2021 for two years. The Inflation Reduction Act, the signature climate policy bill from the Biden administration, then extended those health care subsidies for three years, with the subsidies set to expire at the end of December 2025.
