Cybil Roehrenbeck, partner at Hogan Lovells and head of the firm’s healthcare lobbying practice, discusses with Forbes Advisor the political hurdles in extending ACA subsidies amid the federal shutdown. She highlights that recent legislation is unlikely to be repealed, complicating negotiations around healthcare funding. Roehrenbeck notes, “Parties don’t tend to accept a repeal of a law that they’ve just only passed a few months earlier.”
The article, Shutdown Leaves Millions Wondering If They Can Afford Healthcare Coverage Next Year, details how millions could face higher premiums if subsidies expire.
