US EditionTrump says he’d ‘rather not’ extend Affordable Care Act subsidies
President Trump rejects extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, preferring direct payments to individuals as 22 million face premium increases next year, KFF reported.
- On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he preferred not to extend ACA premium subsidies and denied pushing a two-year extension.
- Politico reported on Monday that Trump planned to unveil a new policy before Republicans resisted, as Congress faces urgent pressure with Covid‑era ACA subsidies nearing expiration.
- KFF warned premiums would more than double next year if subsidies expire, with more than 24 million ACA Marketplace enrollees relying on them, and President Donald Trump said, `The premiums are going up, and it's the Democrats' fault`.
- Political reaction was swift as Senate Majority Leader John Thune pledged to bring subsidy extension legislation to a vote while Republicans scramble and Democrats sharply condemned the timing.
- Amid uncertainty about alternatives, President Donald Trump floated redirecting funds from insurers to individuals, but commentators said it's unclear how that would work and debate will escalate.
