Iowa Senators Join Republicans in Blocking ACA Subsidy Extension, Risking Premium Hikes

Concurrently, they supported an alternative health care proposal that also did not progress. This legislative impasse leaves limited time for Congress to prevent a significant increase in health insurance premiums for millions of ACA enrollees in the coming year.
