Proposal would send $500 health insurance checks
Original: Proposed $500 ACA checks
A proposal is circulating to send one-time checks of $500 to people who buy their health coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. The payments would soften the blow from rising premiums as enhanced federal subsidies lapse, a fight that has become a central sticking point in Washington budget negotiations and a talking point among Democrats and Republicans alike.
Why now: Rising ACA premiums and stalled negotiations over extending enhanced subsidies have put health insurance costs back at the centre of US political debate.
