flag Republicans reject extending ACA subsidies, risking premium hikes and government shutdown.

flag Democrats are demanding Republicans extend Affordable Care Act subsidies expiring at year’s end to prevent a government shutdown, warning millions will face steep premium hikes starting October 1. flag Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said President Trump appeared unaware of the immediate impact. flag While some Republican pollsters suggest extending subsidies could help the GOP in 2026 by avoiding voter backlash, top GOP leaders oppose attaching the extension to the funding bill, calling it a "hijacking," and instead propose phased reductions, stricter eligibility, and abortion-related restrictions. flag Some Republicans acknowledge the need for reform, but many in the House and conservative groups insist subsidies should end as scheduled. flag Democrats say they’ll use the issue in future campaigns if Republicans block the extension.
