But Republicans deleted extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act credits, so they can say the Democrats caved, as five senators did. But this agreement promises a vote on this measure next month in the Senate.  Which will, of course, be voted down again, for just before the 60-40 vote to end the shutdown, the S...
