Americans are feeling the strain already with less than three weeks to go until the expiration of COVID-era tax credits that have helped many people pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

"I don't know how I'm going to pay for this," said one person with an Affordable Care Act plan that will cost her $1,100 a month starting in January.

The Senate will vote this week on a GOP bill to put money in health savings accounts, as well as a Democratic bill to extend the expiring ACA subsidies. Both are expected to fail.

To buy basic coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace without the tax subsidy that’s set to expire on Dec. 31, Linderman, who lives in Clearwater, Fla., would have to pay roughly $1,500 per month in 2026.

The chamber also blocked a Republican bill to give Americans up to $1,500 to spend on health care instead of extending the subsidies.
