Millions of households benefit from these subsidies, which help lower monthly premiums and expand access to care. Lawmakers emphasized that guaranteeing a vote is a step toward cooperation in addressing healthcare challenges. While debate over the ACA remains intense, this…

Settlement Surpasses Earlier AgreementThe new deal increases the payout by more than $1bn compared with a previous settlement blocked by the Supreme Court…
