US EditionTrump Reveals Whether He’ll Support Extension of Expiring Obamacare Tax Credits
Trump's refusal to extend $35 billion in Affordable Care Act subsidies risks premium hikes for 22 million Americans and disrupts bipartisan efforts in Congress.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared he will not support legislation to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, announcing on Truth Social that he wants money sent directly back to people.
- A senior White House official said on Tuesday the administration plans a health bill and left open reconciliation for passage, while proposing HSAs, FSAs, or direct payments instead of insurer subsidies.
- An estimated 22 million people face sharply higher premiums as $35 billion per year in ACA funding expires Dec. 31, with insurance companies capping benchmark plans at 8.50% of income.
- Next year, millions face higher costs and potential loss of coverage as premiums soar, and Republican lawmakers must decide whether to defy the president or pursue alternative fixes.
- Just 14 House Republicans have signed on to Rep. Jen Kiggans's extension, and Michael Linden noted earlier this year that Republicans missed their chance to act; reconciliation proposals face eligibility limits.
