After rejecting a G.O.P.-written plan to keep federal funding flowing, Democrats released a counteroffer that would add more than $1 trillion in health spending.
“The contrast between the Republican proposal and what Democrats have put forward is glaring,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader.
The speaker put forward a stopgap bill to fund the government past Sept. 30, saying there was “zero chance” he would add concessions Democrats have demanded.
Republicans are signaling a new openness to extending health subsidies as Democrats suggest they want health care concessions to keep the government open.
