As been posted Democrats have made an offer on 1 year ACA extension and here's a link.
Republicans don't sound too open to it. I think they want reforms to any extension such as income limits etc. Before you couldn't owe over 8.5% of your total income on premiums
Senate Democrats propose 1-year Obamacare subsidies punt in new shutdown offer
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/11/07/congress/obamacare-punt-democrats-shutdown-00642467 Schumer also proposed creating a bipartisan committee to negotiate a longer-term solution for the subsidies and other health care reforms, to begin its work after the government reopens.
Senate Republicans have warned repeatedly that the government has to be reopened before Democrats get any vote on the ACA subsidies. But Democrats have balked so far at those terms as they pressure President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to cut a deal now to address the expected spike in Obamacare premiums.
“This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability and begins a process of negotiating reforms to the ACA tax credits for the future,” Schumer said. “Now the ball is in the Republicans’ court. We need Republicans to just say, ‘Yes.”
Key Senate Republicans immediately ruled it out, however, with Majority Leader John Thune calling it a “nonstarter.”
“The Obamacare extension is the negotiation,” he said.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) posted on X that it would unduly benefit health insurance companies to blindly extend the subsidies: “Another year of insane profits at the expense of consumers and American taxpayers,” he wrote.
