Trump pledges to ‘abide’ by deal to end government shutdown – but vows to upend Obamacare subsidies | 10 Nov 2025 | President Trump said Monday that he will abide by the terms of a deal ending the ongoing 41-day government shutdown — but that Republicans will pursue a new plan to replace expiring health insurance subsidies that triggered the funding lapse. Trump said that the government would fully reopen “very quickly” amid mass-cancelation of flights. “I’ll abide by the deal. The deal is very good,” the president said when asked about a provision requiring him to re-hire federal workers fired during the shutdown. The deal assures Democrats of an open vote on extending more generous pandemic-era Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire Dec. 31. “We want a health care system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
