Republicans grapple with voter frustration over rising health care premiums

Republicans are feeling heat at town halls as voters confront rising Affordable Care Act premiums, while the shutdown stalls action on expiring subsidies. Party leaders, including President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, say they’ll consider extending enhanced tax credits only after Democrats vote to reopen the government. GOP lawmakers remain split and short on specifics; critics call Obamacare a “disaster.” The CBO says a permanent extension would add $350 billion to the deficit but cover 3.8 million more people by 2035. Meanwhile, notices of premium spikes are landing in mailboxes.
