ACA enrollment deadline looms as subsidy talks stall in Congress

Most states’ open enrollment for ACA plans ends today as Congress stalls on extending enhanced premium tax credits; 10 states have extended deadlines into late January, while a House-backed three-year extension faces Senate resistance and a bipartisan two-year compromise has stalled. Without subsidy relief, silver-plan premiums could rise around 22% in 2026, according to Urban Institute, complicating enrollment for millions. About 22.8 million people had enrolled in ACA marketplace plans as of Jan. 12, down from last year. Extensions could be retroactive, but mid-year changes would complicate logistics and timelines.

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.

Fresh GOP dealmaker pushes Obamacare subsidy revival

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.

While some Democrats, including Senator Fetterman, support reopening the government, others argue the deal is insufficient without a firm commitment to extend healthcare benefits, highlighting the ongoing political debate and potential impact on healthcare access.

Consumers should stay informed about legislative developments, update their account information, and carefully compare plan costs, especially if subsidies are not extended.
