Is the government shutting down? Health care reform starts next week and the Senate passes the government budget. On Friday afternoon, the Senate passed a bill on a short-term spending plan to prevent a government shutdown. The bill has now been sent to the House of Representatives for a vote. At four o'clock, President Obama announced that the health insurance reform plan will begin next week as planned, even if it will lead to a federal government department shutdown. He added: "This is something that has been determined and cannot be changed." As the government shutdown deadline approaches next Tuesday, the Democratic-led Senate is about to vote on the budget. At the same time, the Republican-led House of Representatives is still arguing over the passage of the budget, and the core issue is Obamacare. On Thursday, Republican leaders in Congress decided to delay the introduction of a bill to increase the U.S. debt ceiling. The crisis of the U.S. debt ceiling and government shutdown has not yet been resolved. Currently, there is a fierce battle over the debt ceiling in the United States, with the main sticking point being the Obamacare bill. The Republican-majority House of Representatives wants to kill the bill, but the Senate is refusing to back down. Negotiations between Obama and the Republican Party on the "new fiscal year budget" and the "debt ceiling" have been deadlocked for many days, and the "health care plan" has always been the "key point" of the negotiations. House Speaker Boehner turned the fight to the debt ceiling. Boehner agreed to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a one-year delay in implementing Obamacare, tax reform and loosening environmental regulations. However, Boehner's new plan encountered opposition within the Republican Party. Non-core government departments could shut down next Tuesday if Congress doesn't act to replenish federal funding. According to Wall Street Insights, U.S. President Obama delivered a speech in Maryland on Thursday, emphasizing the need to preserve the "Medicare Act." The health care bill is about to take effect, so Republicans are stepping up their attacks. The standoff reached a new climax Wednesday when Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz spent 21 hours in Congress refuting Obama's health care plan. Obama countered, "Is the world crazy? Is this a joke?" If the U.S. Congress does not pass a budget for the new fiscal year on October 1, the government will face the risk of closing its doors. In addition, the U.S. debt ceiling alarm has been sounded, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has predicted that the United States will hit the debt ceiling on October 17. He warned that if Congress repeats the brinkmanship of 2011 in 2013, it may cause greater harm to the economy. And if the U.S. government is unable to repay its debt, the consequences will be devastating. In order to meet the urgent needs, the two parties have put forward their own emergency measures. On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to provide operating funds to the government and avoid a government shutdown on the condition of canceling Obamacare. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid immediately expressed his opposition and proposed unconditional passage of a temporary government spending bill to avoid a government shutdown in four days. Boehner said the House would not pass the temporary spending bill without conditions. Boehner said: "I think the House will pass a temporary spending bill. Republicans have no interest in shutting down the government, but they are still pushing to cancel Obamacare. The American people don't want Obamacare, and we don't want a government shutdown. Republicans are waiting for the results of the Senate vote bill." The House of Representatives will wait for the specific results of the Senate to pass the temporary spending bill before taking action. Boehner said that neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate is willing to take the responsibility of shutting down the government. Both sides want to use various statements to put pressure on the other party and be forced to make concessions. However, this kind of back-and-forth is extremely time-consuming, and the risk of a U.S. government shutdown has also become higher. A government shutdown will inevitably threaten normal order, but the consequences of government debt reaching the ceiling will be more serious. In Obama's original words, it will "affect the credibility of the United States." Obama's adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that the Republicans want blackmail, not negotiation or compromise, and the economy will suffer in the end. Republican Bob Corker said that the only Republicans who are obstructing the negotiations are Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, who are more extreme, but others are still willing to participate in negotiations.
