President Trump announced a plan that addresses drug costs and health savings accounts, but not the health insurance premium spikes that millions of Americans are facing.

As the Senate voted Thursday to begin debate over authorizing future military force in Venezuela, the House was moving towards renewing enhanced insurance subsidies that expired last year.

Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., says he thinks the Senate can pass a "retroactive" Affordable Care Act subsidy extension, but "we need President Trump."

As part of a federal tax and spending bill passed into law in July, all ACA bronze and catastrophic plans now qualify to open an HSA bank account.

In January, millions of Americans will face more costly premiums on their ACA health plans. Some will go without insurance, pay out of pocket to see doctors, and use special prescription drug plans.

Congress is poised to leave for a scheduled holiday recess without a solution for addressing the expiration of enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans.

As open enrollment continues, health experts say Georgians should carefully compare ACA premiums, deductibles, and provider networks as federal subsidies face an uncertain future.

The break in the shutdown stalemate comes without the one thing most Democrats in Congress had been insisting on: protecting tax subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

This year, with Congress in a stalemate about subsidies, Affordable Care Act marketplace consumers will need to be more informed than ever to navigate their health coverage choices.

Young and healthy people who get Affordable Care Act health insurance are thinking about dropping coverage next year, as the government remains shutdown over health care tax credits.

The federal government has been shut down for 20 days as senators try to reach a funding deal to reopen it. 

With Congress still in a stalemate over health care spending, monthly premiums for plans on Georgia Access will likely look different next year. 

U.S. House Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) told The Telegraph in an exclusive interview Friday that he wouldn’t agree to Democrats’ demands to restore Medicaid funding to avoid a government shutdown.

Advocates are bracing for potential cuts to Georgia’s safety net programs under the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” moving through Congress, though it remains to be seen what changes to programs like Medicaid will end up in the final version. 

Federal workers who help resolve complicated problems for Affordable Care Act policyholders are among those recently cut by the Trump administration.
