Bipartisan ACA subsidy push stalls over Hyde language

Republican senators say a long-sought bipartisan plan to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits for two years has stalled, with a key fight centering on Hyde language and White House buy-in. The proposal would extend the open enrollment period, set an income cap at 700% of the federal poverty level, require a minimum premium, impose a $100,000 fraud penalty, and in the second year allow funds to go into HSAs. Democrats blame Republicans for the halt, while some House and Senate leaders discuss a vehicle for the extension, leaving subsidy relief uncertain as enrollment deadlines approach.
