GOP Split as ACA Subsidy Deadline Nears
Republican anxiety is mounting as the shutdown standoff collides with a health-care deadline: enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits expire as Nov. 1 enrollment begins. Vulnerable members like Rep. David Valadao warn inaction could spike costs for millions and imperil GOP control, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski urges talks and says presidential involvement would help. Democrats have made an extension central, blocking short-term funding without a health-care deal. Leaders resist negotiating until reopening, even as Sen. John Thune confers on options. With premiums set to more than double, according to KFF, Republicans remain split over extending, redesigning, or rejecting the subsidies.
