As the Senate tees up a pair of partisan votes on health care Thursday, senators from both sides of the aisle said debate isn’t over regarding enhanced premium tax credits that millions of people rely on.
Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Wednesday that he wasn’t ruling out finding a way to extend the tax credits that expire at the end of the year, as long as there are changes.
“I think there’s a path forward,” he said. “I mean, I think if you did something with reforms and structure this program differently so it puts downward pressure on premium instead of upward pressure, I think you could do something.”
