Democrats Demand Healthcare in Shutdown Talks

Congressional Democrats are holding firm on their healthcare demands ahead of a crucial meeting with President Trump and Republican leaders to avert a government shutdown. Democrats insist that any funding deal must include an extension of enhanced Obamacare tax credits, which are set to expire in 2025. Republicans, however, want to address these credits after a funding resolution is passed. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized Republican "games" regarding healthcare, stating Democrats will not support a partisan spending bill.
