Amid impending government shutdown concerns, House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are launching a concerted effort to extend subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). With the House facing a critical vote, Democrats are proposing a three-year extension of ACA tax credits while indicating a willingness to collaborate with bipartisan lawmakers to reach a compromise. The push comes as Jeffries reveals last-minute initiatives aimed at ensuring that COVID-era subsidies remain in place. Both parties are engaged in discussions, with moderate Republicans and Democrats releasing principles for extending the subsidies, indicating broad support for maintaining healthcare benefits as negotiations continue.
