US EditionSenate rejects dueling health care bills as Obamacare deadline nears
The Senate's failure to pass either party's bill means enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies will expire, risking premium increases for about 24 million enrollees in 2026, KFF said.
- The Senate voted down two health care bills aimed at extending tax credits related to the Affordable Care Act on December 11, likely leading to increased health insurance costs for many Americans.
- Senator John Barrasso criticized the Democratic proposal, labeling Obamacare as a failure and arguing it was unsustainable, stating, "What the Democrats are proposing isn’t a serious plan."
- Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer stated that Republicans would need to explain to the public why they favored higher health care costs over viable solutions, as premiums could double or triple for families without assistance.
- Despite a push for bipartisan solutions, both Democratic and Republican proposals failed to obtain the necessary votes, evidencing deep political divides within Congress.
