The House on Thursday is expected to advance a three-year extension of Obamacare subsidies, sending the bill to the Senate where it faces an uphill climb.
The enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits were a key factor in the longest-ever government shutdown last fall. Their expiration at the end of 2025 led to premiums rising for millions of Americans who get their health insurance on ACA marketplaces.
The Senate in December voted down a similar three-year extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits and lawmakers predict a similar fate if the proposal comes back to the floor.
