President Donald Trump said Sunday he could veto any bill extending Obamacare subsidies if it reaches his desk.
Trump’s remark to reporters on Air Force One follows Wednesday’s move by nine swing-district House Republicans who joined Democrats to pass legislation extending expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years.
Expiration of the health insurance tax breaks at the end of 2025 left millions of Americans facing significant price hikes for coverage.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed the Democratic-backed legislation that would restore the subsidies to the Affordable Care Act, with 17 Republicans joining Democrats.
