US Congress faces a legislative deadlock over extending enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, threatening significant health insurance premium increases for approximately 24 million Americans when subsidies expire on December 31.Despite John Thune's promise to Senate Democrats for a vote on an extension, Republicans recently voted against the proposal, with Mike Johnson calling the ACA marketplace "a broken system."This partisan divide, criticized by
Chuck Schumer, leaves millions facing higher healthcare costs, particularly in states that did not expand
Medicaid, with little hope for relief before the 2026 midterm elections.
