💨 Abstract

The Senate's failure to address the expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax subsidies has shifted the focus to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson is rushing to develop a Republican alternative. The subsidies, which help lower health insurance costs, are set to expire at year-end. President Trump has proposed direct payments to Americans for health insurance, but details are scant. House Republicans are considering expanding health savings accounts and association health plans, which critics say may offer skimpier coverage.
