WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders are lashing out at a stop-gap spending bill to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the month. They warned Republicans they will not support a measure that doesn’t address their concerns on the soaring cost of health insurance coverage for millions of Americans. House Republicans unveiled the spending bill Tuesday. It would keep federal agencies funded through Nov. 21, buying lawmakers more time to work out their differences. Republicans said that they were providing exactly what Democrats have insisted upon in past government shutdown battles — a clean funding bill free of partisan policy riders.
