House Republicans Work on Health Care Plan Before Tax Credit Deadline

House Republican leaders plan to vote next week on legislation to address rising health insurance premiums affecting over 20 million Americans as Affordable Care Act tax credits are set to expire. While GOP leaders have not detailed their proposals, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise mentioned that they aim to focus on lowering premiums. Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, push for a three-year extension of the tax credits, though Republicans oppose this without reforms. Bipartisan proposals are being discussed, including extending credits with income limits and health savings accounts.
