Senate leaders announce budget deal


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. The agreement funds the government at sequestration levels through Jan. 15, raises the debt ceiling through Feb. 7 and creates a bipartisan budget conference committee to report long-term spending plans by Dec. 13. The agreement includes a provision of income verification for those receiving subsidized insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The budget deal does not repeal, replace or delay exchanges or the individual mandate under the ACA.
