Healthcare Subsidies Extended and Expanded, New Citizenship and Coverage Rules

This act extends and significantly expands the enhanced Premium Tax Credits (PTC) until 2027, raising the income limit for assistance to 600% of the federal poverty line. However, it introduces new restrictions: health plans covering abortion (outside of exceptions) lose qualified status, and access to subsidies and cost-sharing reductions is restricted exclusively to U.S. citizens.
Key points
More people qualify for help: The income limit for health insurance tax credits increases from 400% to 600% of the federal poverty line, starting in 2027.
Access restricted for non-citizens: Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSR) will only be available to U.S. citizens, starting in 2026.
Change in insurance plans: Health plans that offer abortion coverage (except in cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment of the mother) will not be eligible for government subsidies.
Subsidy extension: Enhanced premium tax credits for health insurance are extended through the end of 2027.
