00:00And it's an honor now to sign...

00:02The longest ever U.S. government shutdown officially ended on Wednesday

00:06after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a funding bill

00:09negotiated by Republican lawmakers and a small group of moderate Democrats.

00:14After 43 days, the Democrats did not manage to secure guarantees

00:18to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credit that lowers the cost of health coverage,

00:24a demand that led to the shutdown in mid-September.

00:27This outcome was totally foreseeable. I said that this would be the outcome

00:31when all this began back in mid-September. They did it anyway.

00:35Democrats admitted that they used the people's leverage,

00:37and they got nothing for their selfish political stunt here.

00:41They didn't achieve anything with this at all.

00:43Democrats said they would not give up on the subsidy extension

00:46even if the vote did not go their way.

00:49Republicans have played a game of chicken with food assistance,

00:53travel safety, and federal paychecks.

00:57All because they will stop at nothing to cut your health care.

01:01The only thing that congressional Republicans are more loyal to than Donald Trump

01:06is to cutting the health care of the American people.

01:08Without the enhanced tax credit, premiums on average will more than double for millions of Americans.

01:14The bill is passed!

01:14More than 2 million people would lose health insurance coverage altogether next year,

01:18the Congressional Budget Office projected.

01:21Republicans promised to hold a vote by mid-December to extend the health care subsidies,

01:26but there is no guarantee of success.
