Senators Reach Deal To Stabilize ACA Insurance Markets For 2 Years

[Dulcinea]

Less than a week after President Trump said he is cutting off subsidies to health insurance companies, lawmakers say they have a deal to restore the money and take other actions that could stabilize insurance markets for next year.

Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., say they have a tentative agreement to appropriate the subsidies for the next two years, restore money used to encourage people to sign up for Affordable Care Act health plans, and make it easier for states to design their own alternative health care systems.

Alexander said the idea is to stabilize the markets in the short term while Congress continues to debate long-term changes to the ACA.
