US EditionHouse GOP Unveils Health Care Bill without ObamaCare Subsidies Extension
The GOP bill targets lower premiums by 11% through cost-sharing reductions but excludes extending Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, pending a separate amendment vote.
- On Friday, House Republican leadership released the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, notably omitting an extension of Obamacare premium subsidies.
- Centrist Republicans have pressed Speaker Mike Johnson to hold a vote on competing subsidy proposals, while Democrats demand a three‑year extension that Republicans call a nonstarter.
- The bill bundles measures including association health plans and CHOICE accounts, mandates pharmacy benefit managers transparency, clarifies stop‑loss protections for small and mid‑sized employers, and funds cost‑sharing reductions targeting an 11% premium drop.
- GOP aides said leadership expects a vote on an amendment to extend subsidies and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick's discharge petition could force a standalone vote if it reaches 218 signatures, with the House Rules Committee set to take up the package on Tuesday.
- If subsidies lapse Dec. 31, premiums could double for 24 million Americans and skyrocket for more than 20 million, but Senate passage is unlikely with only 53 Republicans and unclear support.
