Federal Medicaid funding and ACA subsidies are at stake, and it would have long-term impacts. The healthcare cuts were already passed months ago and are about to go into effect, so many people have been waiting hoping something will change because they don't know how they'll get insurance for January. Hopefully the democrats see that this is deeply unpopular and stick with it for once to secure funding in time.

There are great news sources out there to get this information with a socialist analysis. This video starts talking about the shutdown at 1:10:00 and explains it in an accessible way. https://www.youtube.com/live/lmEO_YaPMro
