White House to pitch a Trump Obamacare extension with limits

The White House expects to soon unveil a health policy framework that includes a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of next month and new limits on eligibility, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plans.

The proposal would mark President Donald Trump's foray into Capitol Hill negotiations over how to address health care premium spikes set to hit Affordable Care Act enrollees if Congress lets the premium subsidies expire.

A White House official declined to confirm the details of the plan, saying, "Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration's healthcare positions is mere speculation." MS NOW first reported news of Trump's intent to announce a new health care framework as soon as Monday to address spikes in ACA insurance premiums.
