Rapportert av AI Bilde generert av AI
President Donald Trump unveiled his 'Great Healthcare Plan' via social media video, focusing on drug prices and insurance reforms but ignoring rising Affordable Care Act premiums. The announcement comes as Senate negotiations on extending expired ACA subsidies falter, with enrollment deadlines looming. A House bill to extend the subsidies passed last week despite Republican opposition.
On Dec. 18, four Republicans from competitive districts joined Democrats on a discharge petition, giving it 218 signatures and forcing a House vote on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. Hours earlier, House Republicans advanced a separate health care bill that omitted the subsidy extension, highlighting divisions inside the GOP over how to address looming premium increases.
