Democrats propose one-year extension of Obamacare credits to end government shutdown
Amid the ongoing US government shutdown, approximately 800 flights have been canceled due to FAA staffing shortages, with delays worsening at major airports. Democrats have proposed ending the shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of ACA subsidies, but Republicans are resistant. The shutdown is impacting air travel safety, airline operations, and travelers nationwide, with potential for increased cancellations if the shutdown persists.
