Which means premiums will eventually increase, doubling or going up even more.

Republicans “generously” want to extend subsidies until January 2027, to protect themselves from Voters’ wrath until after the midterms.

Sanders, along with AOC and others, has said the subsidies should be extended in perpetuity [/i , in other words, made permanent.

Dems shouldn’t get caught in republicans’ trap of negotiating a politically acceptable expiration date for the subsidies- then they too will be blamed once the subsidies expire.
