Description
Bipartisan Effort to Extend ACA Subsidies Gains Momentum in HouseA bipartisan push to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies is gaining traction in the House, with 16 Republicans joining Democrats in co-sponsoring a one-year extension. The subsidies, set to expire on December 31st, could see a sharp increase in premiums without extension. The Kiggans-Gottheimer plan, with 38 co-sponsors, includes new income caps and fraud prevention measures, and requires Congress to vote on further reforms by July 2026. However, House Republican leaders plan to unveil their own package next week, which does not extend these tax credits, and Senate Republicans propose letting the subsidies expire and reroute federal assistance into health savings accounts.
