ACA subsidies expiring, leading to premium increases. Republicans struggle to extend subsidies. Farmers facing higher health insurance costs. Sen. Jim Justice criticizes GOP's healthcare understanding.
Left (2)
Right (4)
Enhanced Obamacare subsidies that have been helping millions of Americans pay for health coverage are set to expire on December 31. Lawmakers have failed to extend these subsidies before the deadline, leaving Republicans facing pressure on health care policy ahead of the midterms. The expiration of these subsidies is expected to make health coverage unaffordable for many U.S. farmers, who have already been struggling due to tariffs, inflation, and other federal policies. Congress will need to work on finding a bipartisan solution to address the issue when they reconvene in the new year. The Senate's inability to extend or replace the expiring subsidies will result in a premium price spike affecting tens of millions of Americans.
