奥巴马医保的覆盖面已扩大到数百万人,但面临溢价上涨;对未来补贴的辩论。 Obamacare expanded coverage to millions but faces premium hikes; subsidies' future debated.

自2010年以来, " 负担得起的护理法 " 或 " 奥巴马护理 " 将保健覆盖面扩大到4 500万美国人,并将无保险率减少一半。 The Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, has expanded health coverage to 45 million Americans and halved the uninsured rate since 2010. 然而,预定到期的强化保险费补贴将导致付款平均增加75%,可能使200万人没有保险。 However, enhanced premium subsidies set to expire will lead to a 75% average increase in payments, potentially leaving 2 million uninsured. 扩大补贴将花费纳税人3 350亿美元到2034年。 Extending subsidies would cost taxpayers $335 billion through 2034. 双方可能同意暂时延长补贴,同时逐步减少联邦支助,各州可以探讨放弃豁免,使覆盖面更加负担得起。 Both parties may agree to temporarily extend subsidies while gradually reducing federal support, and states can explore waivers to make coverage more affordable.
