Swing district Republicans brace for political fallout if health care subsidies expire

A bipartisan group of 35 House members proposes a one-year extension with modifications to prevent premium spikes affecting over 24 million Americans, amid political deadlock.

  • On Thursday, a bipartisan proposal was unveiled, supported by roughly 15 Republicans and 20 Democrats, to extend expiring ACA tax credits set to end after Dec. 31.
  • The credits were added under President Joe Biden but were never made permanent, and their expiration after Dec. 31 pressures Republican lawmakers ahead of the 2026 midterm election.
  • Local enrollees report sharp rises: Lynn Weidner's $400 premium will increase to $680, and Patrick Visconti's more than doubles from under $200 to over $500, according to state data.
  • A vote could be held next week even as House Speaker Mike Johnson has not committed to a short-term extension before Jan. 1, with Rep. Jeff Van Drew warning the lapse could impact the 2026 midterm elections.
  • The Congressional Budget Office projects 3.8 million more uninsured in 2035 if tax credits lapse, while about 24 million Americans face open enrollment decisions with only a few more weeks left.
