Maryland Congressman Johnny Olszewski is warning that the federal government shutdown will continue indefinitely unless the leadership of both parties start negotiating.
Before voting to reopen the government, Democrats want COVID era Affordable Care Act subsidies to be extended beyond the end of the year. Fiscal conservatives say that is too expensive.
Speaking Monday to the news media outside his Towson office Olszewski, a Democrat, said a lot of people who currently get their health care through ACA exchanges don’t know that their premiums will go up dramatically.
