Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown, Politico, 11/9/25
https://democraticunderground.com/10143562517

As part of Democrats’ agreement to end the shutdown, Thune is promising Senate Democrats a vote in mid-December to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are due to expire at the end of the year without Congressional action. Democrats will also get to determine what extension bill receives that vote.
. . .
House Democratic leadership has insisted the health subsidies be addressed in legislation rather than a handshake compromise, especially as Johnson has refused to offer Democrats the same promise of a vote on an extension in his chamber.

I've read many articles on the "deal" and none promised anything other than a Senate vote. Or implied such. But it's possible that I missed one that did.
