The Spin

Extending ACA subsidies wastes taxpayer cash and props up a failed law while premiums and debt climb. Big Insurance gets a windfall, patients get fewer choices, and real reform gets delayed. Congress should sunset subsidies and pass market-driven fixes like the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act.

House passage of a 3-year ACA subsidy extension averts a coverage cliff and prevents premium spikes for millions. Restored aid keeps families insured and reduces costly ER crises across communities. Senate action should follow now, while broader reforms push toward lower prices and Medicare for All.
