ACA Subsidy Extension in Doubt as Senate Weighs House Bill

A bill to extend key Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies now faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the measure. Notably, over a dozen Republican representatives joined Democrats to approve it. However, the Senate may vote against the bill, according to the latest reporting from CBS News' Taurean Small. If the Senate rejects it, the tax subsidies will not be extended. These subsidies lower the cost of health insurance for millions of Americans. They help pay monthly premiums for plans purchased through the ACA marketplaces.
