stopgap

A new law in Texas could provide something of a stopgap, Garza said.

A limited number of friends and relatives would struggle to provide unpaid stopgap care to aging adults.

While the Senate passed a stopgap funding bill to reopen the government Monday, it still has to be voted on in the House.

Thomas Massie of Kentucky has repeatedly voted against such stopgap funding extensions.

They settled on a message: No Democratic votes for a stopgap funding measure to keep the government open without Affordable Care Act subsidies.
