Nothing has been done to help Obamacare sufferers....this particular battle may be finished but the war is not over.....
Sens. Reid and McConnell announced the agreement on the Senate floor, shortly after noon. The deal would end the partial government shutdown and fund government through January 15. It would also lift the debt ceiling until early February. The deal also authorizes a conference committee between the House and the Senate to negotiate a longer-term budget. The committee is expected to finalize an agreement by mid-December.
It does not appear that any changes were made to ObamaCare. Earlier, there had been discussions of a delay in a "reinsurance tax", a top priority for labor unions. There were also discussions about stricter enforcement of income eligibility requirements for ObamaCare subsidies. Neither of those provisions were discussed by Senate leaders in announcing the deal.
