美国政府关门持续,参议院在医疗资金问题上陷入僵局

摘要

随着参议院未能通过资金提案,美国政府关门持续,医疗资金成为僵局的核心。

美国政府关门已进入第二周,原因是参议院未能通过两项旨在重新开放联邦运作的独立资金提案。共和党和民主党的提案均未达到所需的60票门槛,导致政府陷入停顿。

争议的主要焦点仍然是医疗资金。民主党主张延长《平价医疗法案》(ACA)补贴并撤销近期的医疗补助(Medicaid)削减,强调维持对低收入美国人的医疗支持的重要性。然而,共和党则认为民主党的立场是在试图为无证移民提供医疗服务,民主党领导人对此予以否认。

白宫表示,如果关门持续,可能被迫实施大规模裁员以维持基本政府服务。新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特表示,此类措施是维持“财政理智”的必要手段。潜在裁员的具体人数尚不确定,但与管理和预算办公室(OMB)的讨论正在进行中。

经济影响日益加剧,估计每持续一周,国内生产总值(GDP)可能损失150亿美元。失业率也预计将因政府长期关闭而上升。

双方继续相互指责导致僵局。密苏里州共和党参议员乔什·霍利表示:“我们可以投票、投票、再投票,但基本上决定权掌握在五个人手中。”与此同时,参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默强调医疗问题的重要性,称民主党为此而战,因为“我们知道美国人想要这个。”

随着僵局持续,全国期待能够达成解决方案,恢复政府运作并解决医疗资金这一关键问题。
