Capitol Hill to grill five health-insurance CEOs over soaring premiums

Five major health insurers’ CEOs (UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, Cigna Health, Elevance Health, and Ascension) are set to testify before House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees as Republicans blame rising premiums on the system and the expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies; with no quick fix in sight and Congress stalled on extending subsidies, the hearings will probe root causes of higher costs, including the ACA’s impact, while insurers argue premiums reflect overall care costs and provider prices rather than their pricing alone, and Trump’s plan is not the focus of this round.

Democrats push to keep no-premium ACA plans amid subsidy talks

Democrats are pressing to extend enhanced ACA subsidies and preserve zero-premium plans, arguing that Premiums could push low-income enrollees off the exchanges, especially in states that did not fully expand Medicaid, while Republicans warn of fraud and favor a small premium compromise; a three-year extension remains uncertain despite some bipartisan House support.

Bipartisan health package looms, but ACA subsidies stay in dispute

Lawmakers from both parties are negotiating a broader health package tied to a government funding bill, aiming to renew expired ACA subsidies, but GOP opposition makes a clean subsidy extension unlikely. Separately, a Senate PBM overhaul appears to be gaining momentum, while abortion-funding audits and other divisive issues keep prospects for a deal uncertain—suggesting any agreement may not include subsidies.

Ohio lawmakers split as three Republicans join Democrats to revive ACA subsidies for three years

Five Ohio lawmakers backed a Democratic bill to restore expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years, with three Republicans joining Democrats in defying Trump on the measure. Most Ohio Republicans opposed extending the subsidies, and the bill now heads to the Senate where prospects are uncertain. Supporters say reviving the tax credits could relieve about half a million Ohioans facing higher premiums, while critics warn about cost and debt.

Senate delays health-package framework to late January amid Hyde Amendment hurdles

A bipartisan Senate group negotiating a revival of expired ACA subsidies won’t publish legislative text until the last week of January, signaling cautious progress as they resolve framework elements, notably how to handle Hyde Amendment restrictions and potential audits/penalties to ensure funds for abortion are segregated from nonabortion health funds. The talks, led by Sen. Bernie Moreno and involving Sen. Susan Collins and Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, aim to “get it right” before releasing the framework, with the delay suggesting remaining divisions on key issues.

Trump weighs veto on ACA subsidy extension, fueling Obamacare uncertainty

House GOP Faces Challenges in Passing Healthcare Reforms

House Republicans passed a healthcare bill that does not renew ACA subsidies, which is expected to cause premiums to more than double for about 20 million enrollees, despite internal disagreements and efforts to extend subsidies. The bill includes measures to lower healthcare costs but also increases the uninsured population and reduces government spending. The Senate is unlikely to take up the bill, but some ideas may resurface later.
