Fresh GOP dealmaker pushes Obamacare subsidy revival
TL;DR Summary
Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, a freshman aligned with Trump, is driving a bipartisan push to extend Obamacare subsidies, aiming to win about 35 GOP votes for a two-year extension that adds a $5 monthly premium minimum and a 700% FPL cap, with the second year allowing subsidies to be taken as cash in health savings accounts; the talks include Collins, Shaheen, Kaine, Murkowski and King, and are tangled with abortion-language disagreements that Democrats say could derail the deal.
