"We now have clarity on what Republicans are demanding in exchange for extending the ACA tax credits: new abortion restrictions that go even further than the already-strict Hyde Amendment. That is the price they’re trying to extract."

"Senate Republicans say they will only agree to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) funds if Democrats accept new, stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans, creating a major standoff that threatens to raise premiums for more than 20 million Americans next year. Democrats insist current ACA rules already comply with the Hyde amendment’s ban on using federal funds for abortion, calling any additional restrictions a nonstarter."
"Republican leaders, backed by anti-abortion groups such as Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, argue that states allowing abortion coverage through separate non-federal funding streams still violate their principles and want what critics call 'Hyde plus-plus,' a change that could block subsidies entirely in some states."
