Democrats
released a budget proposal that seeks to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies before they expire at the end of the year. The plan, put forward by Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro and Washington Senator Patty Murray, also includes a reversal of
Medicaid cuts made earlier this year.
The pair argues that if their proposal is not put in place, then “15 million Americans” will be kicked off their health care plans,
because of the provisions made in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which would see health care provisions expire in 2027, including for LEGAL IMMIGRANTS accessing ACA subsidies.
The proposal does not include free healthcare for illegal immigrants.
