Manchin Open to Extending Obamacare Aid

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “signaled he’s open to extending enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, a move that would help Democrats avert a huge political threat in the November midterms from millions of people learning about spiking monthly premiums only weeks before casting ballots,” Insider reports.

“But he suggested that an extension of the program should be directed towards aiding lower-earning families.”
