由于参议院否决了该法案，数百万人的医疗保健费用将会增加。 参议院否决了一项旨在延长奥巴马医改关键补贴的法案，这些补贴将于明年1月到期。如果没有这些补贴，许多美国人的医疗保险费将大幅上涨。四名共和党人与民主党人联手支持该法案，但最终仍未获得所需的60票。共和党提出的另一项旨在增加健康储蓄账户的计划也未能通过。由于国会即将休会，几乎没有时间阻止即将到来的保费上涨，尽管预计两党明年都将提出新的医改措施。 Health care costs are set to rise for millions as Senate rejects bill The Senate rejected a bill that would have extended key Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire in January. Without those subsidies, many Americans will see major increases in their health-insurance premiums. Four Republicans joined Democrats in support, but the bill still fell short of the 60 votes needed. A separate GOP plan to boost health-savings accounts also failed. With Congress about to leave for the holidays, there’s almost no time left to stop the coming premium hikes, though both parties are expected to propose new health-care measures next year.
