Episode notes
How Continuing Resolutions Work
- Continuing resolutions temporarily fund the government when the 12 appropriations bills fail to pass.
- They can be clean or include provisions, which makes passage politically contentious.
What's At Stake In The Funding Fight
- Democrats seek specific policy additions rather than a clean continuing resolution, sparking the impasse.
- One major addition is extending enhanced Premium Tax Credits for roughly 4.2 million people on the ACA marketplace.
Democrats' Health Provisions Explained
- Democrats want to reverse recent cuts that affected Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare and hospital emergency reimbursements.
- These reversals would restore reimbursements for emergency care and eligibility for certain lawfully present non-citizens removed by the Big Beautiful Bill.
