Congress is at a standoff over extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies as part of reopening the federal government, with Democrats pushing for renewal. Last week, the Senate had four failed votes to reopen the government. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), and Angus King (I-Maine) broke ranks with most Democrats to support the measure, while Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) stood alone among Republicans in opposing it. AGC will continue to update its members as developments occur.
