NPR - A Democratic proposal to extend current Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years is scheduled for a Senate vote on Thursday. The enhanced health care subsidies are set to expire at the end of the month. The plan Democrats put forth isn't expected to get the 60 votes it needs to advance. 
 Senate Republicans are divided on extending subsidies. While some support it, others want income caps and reforms to limit eligibility, NPR’s Deirdre Walsh says. House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to release a health care bill this week and promises a vote this month, although he is not negotiating with any Democrats on it. Trump has not endorsed any legislation regarding ACA tax credits yet. Members of both parties believe that if the president doesn’t get involved in negotiating a deal soon, Americans will see major cost increases next month.
