1+ hour, 7+ min ago (831+ words) But the Senate rejected both, and hopes of solving the problem this year are running dry. Affordable Care Act subsidies will end in three weeks, more than doubling the premiums for many with health coverage through the 2010 law known as "Obamacare." Meanwhile, the political stakes of rising premiums are looming as affordability concerns have emerged as a key issue for American voters going into the midterms next year. Here's a look at the subsidies in limbo, the proposals to address the problem and how American voters are feeling about the issue. More than 24 million people have health insurance through the ACA. That includes farmers, ranchers, small-business owners and other self-employed people without other health insurance options through their work. Enrollees who make less than 400% of the federal poverty level qualify for permanent subsidies in the program that help them offset…...

1+ hour, 14+ min ago (816+ words) The Democratic plan would have extended tax credits, while the GOP plan would have replaced them with HSAs. The US Senate rejected two competing healthcare plans as insurance premiums are set to skyrocket and the Biden-era enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits are set to expire at yearsend. A Democratic proposal to extend the tax credits " which were at the center of the longest government shutdown in history " failed, as did the Republican plan would have allowed ACA subsidies to lapse and partially replace them with federally funded tax-advantaged health savings accounts. The biggest providers of ACA Marketplace plans like Oscar Health, UnitedHealthcare, Molina Healthcare, Elevance Health and Centene rose after the vote. While the potential end of the ACA subsidies would hurt their bottom line, investors have had time to price that in, while the Senate GOP plan to…...

1+ hour, 29+ min ago (672+ words) (Bloomberg) " The Senate rejected a pair of partisan measures addressing the impending expiration of Obamacare subsidies, setting up a Jan. 1 spike in health insurance premiums for more than 20 million Americans. With only a few days left before lawmakers leave for their Christmas break and few signs of life in stalled bipartisan negotiations, the failure Thursday of the dueling partisan plans all but guarantees the expiration of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits initiated during the pandemic era. Premium costs on average will more than double for people enrolled in Obamacare plans, forcing many of them to make hard choices on their health coverage and household finances. The outcome will have wide-ranging consequences for insurance companies, a health-care sector that accounts for one-sixth of the US economy and potentially next year's midterm elections. If fewer people buy health-care policies because of…...

2+ hour, 50+ min ago (594+ words) Published 9:13 am Thursday, December 11, 2025 This year, more than 97% of Oregonians had health insurance. Getting to this level of coverage took years of steady effort and happened because our state treats health coverage as essential for keeping people healthy, for helping families avoid medical debt and for holding down costs for everyone. For tens of thousands of small business owners, older Oregonians not yet eligible for Medicare, and working families, health insurance has been affordable because of Affordable Care Act tax credits. This week, Congress will vote on whether to continue these ACA tax credits or let them die, putting years of hard-won progress at risk of unraveling overnight. If Congress terminates the healthcare tax credits, 4.8 million Americans will lose their coverage immediately, and insurance premiums could more than double for 20 million others. Some families will see their annual costs rise…...

The case concerned a Belgian insurance and reinsurance company (the Applicant) operating in the EU and EEA markets through an outsourced underwriting model. The model relied on Managing Agents, Coverholders and brokers acting as intermediaries across different jurisdictions. In Italy, the Applicant operates under two regimes: SO ITA provides administrative, legal and compliance support to the Belgian head office. It's also responsible for certain operational functions, including the formal signing of Italian insurance policies (as required by regulation) and compliance with Italian insurance tax obligations.
