US EditionHealthcare Premiums Expected to Rise with New Funding Bill, Healey Urges Extension of Tax Credit
Eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans to advance a funding bill excluding ACA tax credit extensions, risking the credits' expiration in December, amid a prolonged government shutdown.
- On Nov. 9, the U.S. Senate voted to advance a funding bill without extending ACA premium tax credits, with eight Democrats joining Republicans.
- Partisan disagreements over extending Obamacare tax credits were a factor in the government shutdown that began Oct. 1, and Democratic efforts for stopgap extensions failed to gain Republican leadership support.
- More than 45 million Americans receive ACA coverage, with KFF projecting 22 million could face premium hikes of 114%, and nearly five million may be unable to afford coverage next year.
- KFF found subsidized enrollees would on average pay more than double for premiums, and federal and state marketplaces would need weeks to adjust plans if subsidies are restored.
- Financial assistance for health insurance will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress approves legislation, and passage is uncertain despite Republican majority promises for mid-December consideration.
