According to reports, the Republican leadership in the US House of Representatives submitted a health insurance proposal, which did not solve the problem of a sharp rise in health insurance premiums. Millions of Americans will be affected by this rise as early as January next year. The Act did not extend the enhanced subsidies of the Affordable Care Act. This subsidy was introduced during the pandemic and will expire on December 31 if Congress does not act. This means that about 24 million Americans may face a sharp rise in health insurance premiums starting January next year. The bill includes cost-sharing relief provisions aimed at reducing premiums for some people, but at the same time, it will reduce the overall subsidy amount and cause premiums for other groups to rise. This provision will take effect in January 2027. If the House Rules Committee votes to allow it, lawmakers can propose amendments in next week's full house debate to extend subsidies and resolve the 2026 subsidy gap. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to make a decision on this.
