Thune considers Obamacare talks after Democratic bill fails. Swing district Republicans worry about political fallout from expiring health care subsidies. Senate Democrats plan vote on Obamacare subsidy.
Left (3)
Right (5)
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed uncertainty about addressing expiring Obamacare subsidies before the end of the year but remains cautiously optimistic about restarting bipartisan negotiations. The impending expiration of enhanced premium tax credits is a concern for some Republicans facing the 2026 midterm elections. The Senate is scheduled to vote on a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that Republicans oppose, with no unified GOP alternative in place. Senate Republicans have yet to agree on a plan, while Senate Democrats' proposal is unlikely to gain GOP support. Republicans are considering health savings accounts as an alternative to Democrats' subsidy extension, as the Senate remains deadlocked on a solution.
