 White House to pitch a Trump Obamacare extension with limits

Republicans have been eager for Trump to reveal his preferences on expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.

By Benjamin Guggenheim11/23/2025 09:53 PM EST

The White House expects to soon unveil a health policy framework that includes a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of next month and new limits on eligibility, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plans.

The proposal would mark President Donald Trump’s foray into Capitol Hill negotiations over how to address health care premium spikes set to hit Affordable Care Act enrollees if Congress lets the premium subsidies expire.

A White House official declined to confirm the details of the plan, saying, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.” MS NOW first reported news of Trump’s intent to announce a new health care framework as soon as Monday to address spikes in ACA insurance premiums.

Why do the Democrats Always win?

How do the democrats win?  You can't cut people off of subsidies after all of this time cold turkey.  Slowly wean them off...yes.  Heck, my health insurance just went up from $1092 a month to almost $1400 a month for a $9,000 deductible.  This is for ONE PERSON.  How does the average person afford this?  The answer is the don't and will go without if the subsidies are cut.

You are right.  This has to be done for the mid-terms.

Yes, you can, since they had years’ notice that the subsidies were expiring this year.  If they didn’t make alternative arrangements when they had several years to do so, what makes you think they’ll be any more prudent now?   If anything, extending these subsidies will simply tell them that they have nothing to worry about and the subsidies will be extended indefinitely, so they don’t need to do anything.

Not no, but HELL NO! I voted for Trump it end this debacle, not kick it down the road for the Dems to Add Extension after Extension.

You want a bloodbath in the mid-terms or do you not care?

Same question...  You want a bloodbath in the mid-terms?

I don’t want to be paying for parasites’ health insurance any more, particularly since of them don’t actually need it and won’t get turned away by a hospital if they do need care. 


And those parasites don’t vote republican anyway, so it won’t be a bloodbath.

Report: White House to Unveil Healthcare Framework to Lower Costs

Sean Moran 24 Nov 2025

The Trump White House is expected to unveil a healthcare policy framework that would lower costs and extend expiring Obamacare subsidies, according to reports.

MS NOW and Politico reported that the healthcare policy framework would include a two-year extension of the expiring enhanced premium tax credits (EPTC), or enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which would otherwise expire at the end of the year. The proposal could be unveiled as early as Monday.

A White House declined to confirm the details of the alleged plan to Politico, stating, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.”

The plan would lower limits on income eligibility for the credits and set minimum premium payments, according to the reports. The proposed eligibility cap would set the subsidies to 700 percent of the federal poverty line; Republicans have complained that, with the current Obamacare enhanced subsidy scheme, wealthy Americans would benefit from the subsidies in what was meant to be a temporary, coronavirus-era benefit.

The White House plan would also urge Congress to fund cost-sharing reduction (CSR) plans, which Republicans pushed for in the Big Beautiful Bill, but were nixed after Senate Democrats objected to its inclusion in Trump’s landmark legislation, believing it violated rules on budgetary reconciliation.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that these healthcare reforms would have lowered healthcare premiums by 12.7 percent and reduced costs by decreasing the need for Obamacare EPTCs. CSR plans would have lowered costs by $30.8 billion.

The Trump proposal would also have part of their tax credit go straight to Americans via tax-advantaged savings accounts instead of going to a health insurance company to lower Americans’ premium indirectly.

“The president probably would like to go bigger than the Hill has the appetite for, so we’ll have to see how that, you know, works out,” White House deputy chief of staff James Blair said last week.

You are gravely mistaken.  I know of a huge number of people that are getting subsidies using Obamacare and yes they'll be furious at the Republicans.  How do you think this will affect their vote?  The repubs will likely lose the house and could very well lose the senate as well.  Can you imagine special prosecutor after special prosecutor and trial after trial in the house for last 2 years of the Trump administration.  And of course they'll impeach Trump again. The pendulum swung right for Trump, just wait to see how far left it will swing next time.
