House Prepares Vote on Bill to End US Government Shutdown, Democrats Push for ACA Credits

House Prepares Vote on Bill to End US Government Shutdown, Democrats Push for ACA Credits

The United States government has been shut down for a very long time, the longest ever.

This means many government workers aren't getting paid, and some important services are stopped.

Now, lawmakers in the House of Representatives are going to vote on a plan to open the government back up.

This plan would help restart food aid for families and pay the workers who have been without pay.

However, some politicians called Democrats are not happy because this plan doesn't include more help for people to afford health insurance.

They want to make sure people can continue to pay for their health coverage and are trying to get a vote on that, even asking for help from the other party.

The President wants the shutdown to end and is open to talking about healthcare once the government is back to work.
