The longest government shutdown in US history has finally ended after 42 long days.
After a month and a half of political theatre, seven Democrats and one independent broke ranks and voted with Republicans to pass a stopgap measure. The Senate went 60-40, the House followed 222-209, and Trump signed it hours later.
The legislation includes three-year appropriations for the Agriculture Department, FDA, military construction, veterans affairs, and congressional operations, along with restoration of pay for federal workers and reversal of Trump administration layoffs through January.
However, the most contentious issue, healthcare subsidies, has been kicked down the road to a December Senate vote.
COVID-era ACA subsidies expire at year-end. When they do, premiums for the average subsidised household will more than double from $888 to $1,904 per year, with an estimated 3.8 million people losing coverage entirely.
If the December vote fails, which is likely considering how far apart the two parties are on the topic, we could see a new shutdown begin in January.
What Happens Next?
This Week:
- Federal employees return to work.
- Paychecks start flowing again.
- SNAP benefits get restored for 42 million people, though heating assistance won't come back for weeks.
- National parks reopen.
- Airports start to go back to normal.
December:
- Senate votes on healthcare subsidies. It will probably fail.
- Premium notices continue to be sent showing 2026 costs doubling.
January 30:
- Government funding expires.
- We do this whole thing over, except now the healthcare subsidies have already expired.
- If Republicans and Democrats remain divided on budget priorities, another shutdown will likely begin.
By the Numbers:
Over the past 42 days, approximately 750,000 federal workers have been furloughed. Another two million worked without pay. Over 42 million had their food assistance delayed. And the FAA cut flights by 10% because air traffic controllers stopped showing up to work.
Further concern is the "data blackout" that has hampered Federal Reserve decision-making. Key economic indicators, including jobs reports, were suspended, leaving the Fed blind during an active rate-cutting cycle.
Meanwhile, separate analyses from Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed layoffs surged 183% in October, which would make it the worst October for jobs since 2003.
The Bottom Line
Today’s deal ended the shutdown, but it didn’t actually solve anything. The deal essentially kicks the can down the road to January while leaving the healthcare crisis unresolved.
With both parties divided on healthcare and spending priorities, and Trump lacking a comprehensive plan to address rising premiums and high deductibles, a resolution in the December vote seems unlikely.
If no compromise is accepted by the time Government funding expires on January 30, another shutdown is almost inevitable.
