Overview
- The administration postponed the expected unveiling on Monday, and officials cautioned that any reported details remain unfinalized until President Trump speaks.
- Reporting describes a draft framework to continue enhanced ACA subsidies for two years with guardrails, including an income cap near 700% of the federal poverty level and a minimum monthly premium.
- The reported plan would allow some federal aid to flow into HSA-like accounts and consider conservative measures such as more off-exchange options and restrictions on federal funds for gender-affirming care and for undocumented immigrants.
- Republican lawmakers said they were blindsided by leaks and many opposed any extension of Obamacare subsidies, signaling steep hurdles in the House.
- More than 22 million people currently benefit from the enhanced credits, and KFF estimates subsidized consumers could see premiums more than double if the enhancements expire on Dec. 31.
