Trump's emerging health care plan could put GOP leaders in a bind [View all]

(The Hill) President Trump’s germinal proposal to extend ObamaCare subsidies has created new headaches for GOP leaders on Capitol Hill.

Since 2010, when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted by former President Obama, Republicans have hammered the law as a government takeover of the nation’s health care system that’s eroded patient liberties and undermined the quality of care while increasing costs for individuals and exploding deficit spending.

Trump’s plan, which multiple outlets reported features a two-year extension of soon-to-expire ACA tax credits paired with eligibility limits, contradicts those Republican criticisms, including attacks by Trump himself earlier in the month.

And it could set the stage for GOP leaders in Congress to advance a program they deeply detest after warning for months of its harmful effects.
