President Donald Trump’s reported health care plan hit a roadblock this week after House Republicans panned it.
On Sunday, Politico and MS NOW reported that Trump would soon roll out a proposal to address the fast-approaching expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies. If the subsidies expire at the end of the year, health care premiums are expected to spike for millions of Americans and potentially push them off their insurance plans.
The Trump plan reportedly included a two-year extension of the subsidies coupled with new income caps that restrict who qualifies. It would also address conservatives’ concerns by adding a minimum premium payment, Politico reported.
A possible announcement was expected as early as Monday; however, according to MS NOW, it was delayed due to the GOP pushback.
Meanwhile, the White House has attempted to tamp down any perception of discord and suggested that the plans are fluid.
