Maryland lawmakers react to passage of federal spending bill

With the federal government shutdown ending, Democratic lawmakers in Maryland are questioning the terms voted on in Congress.

The House voted 222 to 209 on Wednesday to approve a funding package that would end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The bill was then signed by President Trump.

All Maryland Democrats in Congress voted against the bill because it does not address expiring health care tax credits that were at the center of the party's shutdown demands, according to CBS News.

"This is exactly why people hate Washington," Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement. "Once again, Republicans in D.C. are asking us to accept a false choice — fund the government or protect people's health care. That's not leadership."

Health care needs are still questioned
