The White House plans to propose a two-year extension of Obamacare premium subsidies that expire at month-end. The proposal aims to neutralize healthcare as a campaign issue ahead of the midterm elections. The plan would impose potential income caps to limit eligibility and require all enrollees to pay some premium contribution. The healthcare non-profit KFF warns that allowing the subsidies to lapse would double premiums for Americans and leave an additional 2 million people uninsured. The president is expected to announce the proposal personally, but officials have provided only sparse details and a timing for the announcement remains unknown.
