What’s on the GOP Menu for ObamaCare Reform, Subsidy Extensions

Republicans face internal conflict over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies as healthcare ranks third in voter concerns and premiums continue rising, according to recent polls.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump's proposal to extend pandemic-expanded Obamacare premium tax credits was reportedly delayed amid GOP outcry, according to the leaked plan outline.
  • Earlier this month, polling showed the White House faced pressure after off-year elections in New Jersey and Virginia and rising premiums, with 41% supporting the shutdown over tax credits.
  • According to the leaked outline, a subsidy cliff would occur at 700% of poverty , with a $5 minimum monthly payment for plans.
  • Legislative prospects remain unclear as House Speaker Mike Johnson said House Republicans oppose extending credits, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune promised a vote by Dec. 12.
  • As Republicans eye next year, about half of ACA premium subsidy recipients are self-employed or small-business workers, while public opinion favors the ACA nearly two-to-one, risking GOP electoral damage.
