After the Senate on Monday, the House of Representatives approved the budget bill with 222 votes against 209 opposition votes, after 6 Democratic representatives joined the presidential majority, compared to two Republican representatives voting against the text.

The leader of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, speaking to CBS, promised that "The battle is not over"Stressing that Democrats will maintain pressure on the Trump administration to extend the aid allocated to the program "Obamacare" Which provides health coverage for the lowest income.
He again called on Republicans to fulfill their promise to quickly organize a vote on this program, adding that it is not too late to extend this aid.
The text that Congress voted on remains ambiguous about the fate of "Obamacare" After December 31, at a time when Trump clearly expressed his intentions, describing this program as "disaster" and"nightmare" It should be abolished.

Distributing funds to Americans

The president believes that instead of financing a collective health care system, funds should be distributed directly to Americans so that each of them can choose the health insurance that suits him.
These issues lie at the heart of the dispute that has led to government paralysis. If the program is not extended, health insurance costs are expected to increase more than twice in 2026 for the 24 million Americans who use "Obamacare"According to the Center for Studies "Kay FF" Specializing in health issues.

A number of Democrats surrender

The government paralysis ended with a small number of Democrats in the Senate surrendering on Monday and joining their Republican colleagues to approve the bill that extends funding for the administration until January 30.
Among the few concessions made to the opposition, the law provides for the return of employees who have been laid off since the beginning of the closure to their work.

It also allocates money to the program "Snap" For food aid until September, which avoids freezing these benefits, which benefit more than 42 million Americans, in the event of a new paralysis at the end of January, similar to what happened at the beginning of the current closure.
More than a million employees have not been receiving their wages since October 1, and some aid has also witnessed great confusion, and tens of thousands of flights have been canceled in recent days due to the absence of air traffic controllers, some of whom chose to take sick leave instead of working without pay.
The closure will be inevitable. Political consequences are still difficult to assess.

The California governor refused
