US EditionTrump Considers Extending Obamacare Subsidies
Lawmakers face a fast-approaching deadline to extend ACA subsidies or risk a 114% average premium increase for subsidized enrollees, amid disputes over abortion funding and bipartisan support.
- Senate Democrats plan to introduce a bill to extend enhanced ACA marketplace tax credits as Republicans remain divided and unwilling to negotiate before the December 31 deadline.
- Republican senators are split over Hyde Amendment guardrails to block abortion funding, while some favor directing federal funds into health savings accounts instead of extending subsidies.
- KFF analysis shows ACA marketplace plans will rise 26% next year, and subsidized enrollees face 114% higher payments without extended credits before open enrollment ends Dec. 15.
- Senate leaders say they will hold a vote next week on health care, but GOP leaders concede proposed measures likely lack the 60 votes to overcome the Senate filibuster.
- With the December 31 deadline looming, some senators say President Donald Trump must push Republicans to 'Make a deal,' as solutions could come in December or January after open enrollment ends on Dec. 15.
