US EditionRepublicans balk at Trump’s health care proposal before it’s even released
The White House's delayed ACA subsidy extension plan faced strong GOP opposition despite aiming to prevent premium spikes for 22 million Americans, officials said.
- On Monday, the White House delayed its proposal to avert a spike in Affordable Care Act premiums after harsh blowback from Republican allies and rank-and-file Republican lawmakers.
- In recent weeks, aides and administration advisers developed a tentative subsidy extension package, but details leaked to the press blindsided Republican rank-and-file lawmakers who first learned of it on social media.
- It envisioned continuing the enhanced subsidies for two years with a new income cap, minimum monthly premium payment, expanded plans outside ACA exchanges, and redirected aid into health savings accounts.
- If the tax credits lapse at the end of the year, over 22 million Americans could face hefty premium increases, and 350,000 Massachusetts residents risk losing coverage by next month.
- The swift backlash highlighted deep Republican Party divisions and little expectation that a two-year extension with stricter guardrails could pass House Republicans, while deal-minded Democrats offered tepid praise but most Democrats rejected it.
