Republicans have been right to stand against the costly, irresponsible extension of Obamacare’s enhanced subsidies. But they can’t be content to fend off bad policy. Next month, they need to advance healthcare reform that will reduce costs and improve access.
The U.S. House just passed legislation that will help make health insurance more affordable — without extending the enhanced premium subsidies for exchange coverage that Democrats enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The House action comes on the heels of votes on two measures in the Senate: one from Democrats that would have extended those subsidies and another from Republicans that would have addressed the affordability of health insurance in other, more fiscally responsible ways.
