Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Sunday expressed cautious optimism about a bipartisan compromise on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for a select group of Americans before the tax credits expire at the end of the year.
In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee said talks are underway on a deal that would couple the GOP proposal for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) with a version of the Democratic proposal that would temporarily extend tax credits.
"Republicans have pushed that we would put money in the patient's pocket so that she has something to pay the out-of-pocket," Cassidy told CNN's Dana Bash, referring to the Republican proposal for HSAs. "Democrats are saying, let's do something about premiums. I think, Dana, there is a deal that could be made. Why don't we do both?" |
