A government shutdown halts efforts to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, risking major premium hikes.
A government shutdown has stalled efforts to extend expanded Affordable Care Act subsidies, with Democrats demanding a deal on the credits before reopening the government and Republicans refusing to negotiate until the shutdown ends.
The subsidies, which helped drive record enrollment of 24 million Americans in 2025, could lead to an average 114% premium increase next year if not extended.
A recent poll shows 60% of Americans are very concerned about rising health costs.
