US EditionHouse GOP Unveils Narrow Health Care Package with Key Deadline Looming
The 111-page GOP bill focuses on association health plans, pharmacy benefit manager transparency, and delayed cost-sharing reductions without extending expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.
- On Friday, House Republicans released a more-than-100-page health care package in the U.S. House that Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled without extending the soon-to-expire enhanced ACA tax credits.
- House GOP leaders argued the bill advances long-standing Republican priorities to reshape insurance and lower costs, declining to extend enhanced ACA tax credits, arguing subsidies have raised premiums.
- The proposal would require Pharmacy Benefit Managers to disclose detailed drug spending data, expand association health plans for small businesses, and fund cost-sharing reduction payments starting in 2027.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates roughly 2 million more people could be uninsured next year if the funding lapses, and KFF found enrollees could face premiums doubling or rising about $1,000 on average.
- GOP leaders plan to put the package on the floor next week, with the House Rules Committee set to consider amendments Tuesday, but even if passed, it faces the Senate's 60-vote hurdle.
