Support passing a bill that reopens the federal government and addresses the health care cost crisis.

I have consistently said that I am ready to pass a bill that reopens the government and ends the Republican health care crisis.

DeGette reiterated that she is ready to pass a bill to reopen the government and address rising health care costs.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5371 as Public Law 119-37 and says the act ends the government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, by providing FY2026 continuing appropriations through January 30, 2026.

A bill reopening the federal government did become law in the same Congress, but this source alone does not show that it resolved the health-care-cost dispute.

Public Law 119-37 includes Division F, Health Extenders, with extensions for community health centers, the National Health Service Corps, teaching health centers, special diabetes programs, Medicare provisions, and other health programs.

The enacted reopening law contained some health-program extensions, but these are temporary extenders and do not by themselves establish that the ACA premium-subsidy cost crisis was addressed.

Roll Call 280 was a motion to recommit H.R.5371. The motion failed 210-218. DeGette, Diana, Democratic, Colorado, voted Yea.

DeGette supported a failed procedural attempt to recommit the funding bill before final passage, showing some concrete legislative effort, though the roll page does not specify health-care language.

The Guardian reported that the shutdown-ending agreement extended government funding through January but left unresolved the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, a key Democratic demand.

Reputable reporting indicates the enacted reopening bill did not deliver the central health-care-cost fix at issue in the shutdown fight.

Congress.gov lists H.R.6703 as passed by the House on December 17, 2025, and received in the Senate on December 18, 2025. The tracker shows Passed House, not Passed Senate, To President, or Became Law.

A later health-premium bill did not become law as of the available Congress.gov status, so it did not complete the promised policy outcome.

AP reported that ACA enrollment dropped after federal subsidies expired on January 1, 2026, and that many individuals faced steep premium increases.

By mid-2026, reputable reporting showed the ACA subsidy issue had not been resolved and higher costs were affecting coverage.
