Истечение сроков действия субсидий ACA приводит к значительному росту страховых взносов для миллионов

"...Democrats forced a 43-day government shutdown over the issue...."

"...Moderate Republicans called for a solution to save their 2026 political aspirations...."

"...President Donald Trump floated a way out, only to back off after conservative backlash...."

"...In the end, no one's efforts were enough to save the subsidies before their expiration date...."

"...It comes at the start of a high-stakes midterm election year, with affordability—including the cost of health care—topping the list of voters' concerns...."

"..."It really bothers me that the middle class has moved from a squeeze to a full suffocation, and they continue to just pile on and leave it up to us," said 37-year-old single mom Katelin Provost, whose health care costs are set to jump. "I'm incredibly disappointed that there hasn't been more action."..."

"...Some families grapple with insurance costs that are doubling, tripling or more...."

"...Those surging prices come alongside an overall increase in health costs in the U.S., which are further driving up out-of-pocket costs in many plans...."

"...Some enrollees, like Salt Lake City freelance filmmaker and adjunct professor Stan Clawson, have absorbed the extra expense. Clawson said he was paying just under $350 a month for his premiums last year, a number that will jump to nearly $500 a month this year. It's a strain for the 49-year-old but one he's willing to take on because he needs health insurance as someone who lives with paralysis from a spinal cord injury...."

"...Provost, the single mother, said she is holding out hope that Congress finds a way to revive the subsidies early in the year—but if not, she'll drop herself off the insurance and keep it only for her four-year-old daughter. She can't afford to pay for both of their coverage at the current price...."

"...Months of discussion, but no relief yet...."

"...Last year, after Republicans cut more than $1 trillion in federal health care and food assistance with Trump's big tax and spending cuts bill, Democrats repeatedly called for the subsidies to be extended. But while some Republicans in power acknowledged the issue needed to be addressed, they refused to put it to a vote until late in the year...."

"...In December, the Senate rejected two partisan health care bills—a Democratic pitch to extend the subsidies for three more years and a Republican alternative that would instead provide Americans with health savings accounts...."

"...In the House, four centrist Republicans broke with GOP leadership and joined forces with Democrats to force a vote that could come as soon as January on a three-year extension of the tax credits. But with the Senate already having rejected such a plan, it's unclear whether it could get enough momentum to pass...."

"...Meanwhile, Americans whose premiums are skyrocketing say lawmakers don't understand what it's really like to struggle to get by as health costs ratchet up with no relief...."

"...Many say they want the subsidies restored alongside broader reforms to make health care more affordable for all Americans...."
