The legislation also establishes a conference committee to negotiate a bipartisan 10-year budget by December 13, 2013, and prevents fraud by requiring income verification to qualify for Obamacare subsidies. "Divided government requires both sides to negotiate and find common ground. While this legislation is far from ideal, it is the only option at this point to end the current stalemate and continue negotiations over our long term fiscal challenges including the President’s health care law. “I thank the many Nebraskans who contacted my office to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas in recent weeks. For the sake of our country, I am hopeful both sides will continue talking and can avoid a similar stalemate when this short-term agreement ends. The fiscal challenges our country faces still need to be addressed.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
