  1. The #Trump admin’s proposed new rules for #Obamacare plans next year would shift more #healthcare costs to Americans, with much higher deductibles leading to higher #medical bills.

    Under the proposal, people who rely on the #AffordableCareAct for their #HealthInsurance coverage could choose plans with misleading lower monthly premiums that would leave them exposed to medical expenses totaling thousands of dollars more than #ACA plans do now before their #insurance would kick in.

  12. The stunning move comes after #House #Republican leaders pushed ahead with a #healthcare bill that does not address the soaring monthly #premiums that millions of people will soon endure as the tax credits for those who buy #insurance through the #AffordableCareAct expire at year’s end.

    #Democrats led by Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries of New York needed 218 signatures to force a floor vote on their bill, which would extend the subsides for 3 years.

  13. This will only become more pronounced now. If you have money, you may get the treatment you need.

    If you don't have money, you're out of luck.

    And, of course, when over half of white Christians who proudly profess to be pro-life have voted for Trump three times, this all comes to us courtesy of pro-life Christian voters.

  14. This will affect all of us, not just the poorest among us, those covered by ACA. It will have knock-on effects across the healthcare sector as many people opt out of coverage altogether.

    Whether you get medical treatment already depends in the US — as opposed to all other developed nations — on how much money you have.

  15. As Eric Berger reports, now that Republicans have decided to kill healthcare coverage for the least affluent among us, the average amount Americans enrolled in ACA can expect to pay annually for premiums is estimated to rise from $888 this year to $1,904 in 2026.

    This will affect all of us, not just the poorest among us, those covered by ACA.

    Republicans have a mess on their hands over health care subsidies – By Stef W. Kight,Kate Santaliz, and Hans Nichols

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are both considering votes on GOP health care priorities next week — if they can figure out what those priorities are.

    Why it matters: Democrats are unified in their demand for a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, which expire Dec. 31. Republicans are still divided and debating their counter offers.

    • Johnson (R-La.) has said he hopes to reveal a House GOP health care package early next week, though some sources are skeptical that will happen.
    • Thune (R-S.D.) has promised Democrats a vote on their health care bill next week. But his conference is still in the idea stage on their counters, which are more likely to come as amendment or unanimous consent votes rather than a single broader GOP package.

    Between the lines: Don’t expect any health care package to pass next week.

    • The real question is whether the voting exercise in the Senate and maybe the House fuels ongoing bipartisan dealmaking — or hampers it.

    Zoom in: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is circulating a plan that would extend the expiring subsidies — but with a $200,000 income cap and no zero-dollar premium packages, Semafor’s Burgess Everett reports.

    • Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) told Axios he hopes a GOP package will include moving the expiring subsidies into health care savings accounts and adding his bipartisan bill requiring more price transparency.
    • Republicans are also again eyeing changes known as cost-sharing reductions, aimed at lowering premiums, but could cut subsidies for some enrollees.
    • Multiple senators described the conversations as broad and fluid, with no real consensus this week on any one, single GOP package. And Hyde protections continue to be a sore spot, with some Republicans demanding increased assurances that subsidies aren’t used for abortions.

    In the House, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) has been holding “listening sessions” with committee leaders and rank-and-file Republicans for weeks to find a consensus GOP plan.

    • A bipartisan group of 35 centrist lawmakers , led by Reps. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) and Josh Gottheimer, unveiled a two-year extension of the ACA subsidies Thursday, but it doesn’t have buy in from leadership.
    • “We’re going to come up with something that I think even people like Jen would support,” Scalise said Thursday.
    • House GOP leaders have also discussed proposals that would not extend the enhanced subsidies, but instead expand Association Health Plans, where employers band together to purchase health coverage for workers.

    Health care proposal floated by White House runs into familiar GOP divisions – PBS News

    Politics, Nov 26, 2025 1:48 PM EST

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A health care proposal circulated by the White House in recent days is running into the reality of Republican divisions on the issue — a familiar struggle for a party that has been trying to scrap or overhaul the Affordable Care Act for the past 15 years.

    The tentative proposal from President Donald Trump would extend expiring ACA subsidies for two years while adjusting eligibility requirements for recipients. The plan has so far been met with a stony silence on Capitol Hill as Republicans debate among themselves whether to overhaul the law, tweak it or simply let the subsidies expire.

    It’s unclear now when the White House plan might be released, or if it will be released at all.

    The Republican indecision comes as the COVID-era tax credits are set to expire Jan. 1, creating sharp premium increases for millions of Americans. Democrats who shut down the government for six weeks over the issue are demanding a straight extension with no changes, though some indicated they could support a plan similar to the one circulated by the White House.

    But support may be harder to find in the GOP conference, where many lawmakers say costs are still too high and have been eager to make another run at repealing the ACA. The last effort in 2017 failed when Republicans couldn’t decide on how to provide coverage to millions of Americans who depend on government-run marketplaces for their health care. It’s a dilemma that persists for the party after record numbers signed up for coverage this year.

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., promised a group of moderate Democrats a vote on the ACA tax credits by mid-December in exchange for their votes to end the government shutdown. But it’s unclear, so far, whether that arrangement will lead to a solution.
