The report says House Democrats opposed the Senate-passed shutdown bill because it did not include extended Affordable Care Act subsidies, and quotes New Democrats saying the Senate-passed bill did nothing to protect health-care access, lower costs, or curb the administration’s agenda.

This contemporaneous reporting supports the health-care-cost rationale for opposing the Senate-passed government funding bill.

DeGette promised to oppose the Senate government funding bill because it did not lower health care costs. The relevant House vote was the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371, the Senate-amended government funding bill, and DeGette voted Nay. That directly fulfilled the promised opposition during the same congressional term.
