最新报道:According to Bijie.com, on October 5th, Arizona Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego stated that lawmakers were not close to reaching an agreement to reopen the government. Gallego has been participating in informal bipartisan conversations, which have taken place amidst Congress's repeated failure to pass government funding votes. He made it clear that Democrats are firm on their demands for health care and hope that Republicans will take substantive action before November. He said, "We know that Senate Republicans also want to reach an agreement." He added, "Republican lawmakers understand that if Congress does not extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans will receive notice of health insurance premium increases early next month, and the consequences cannot be ignored."
