Bipartisan ACA Subsidies Extension 2026: Fitzpatrick and Suozzi’s New Healthcare Bill
Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick and Tom Suozzi introduce a bipartisan bill to extend ACA subsidies for 3 years, aiming to keep healthcare affordable for millions through 2026.
Crossing the aisle is a rare sight in today's polarized climate, but rising healthcare costs have forced a significant handshake. On January 8, 2026, a pair of lawmakers from opposing sides introduced a legislative lifeline for millions of Americans.
The New Bipartisan ACA Subsidies Extension 2026 Bill
According to NPR, Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick and Democratic Representative Tom Suozzi have teamed up to propose a bill that would extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for another three years. These subsidies, which have drastically lowered monthly premiums for middle-income families, were facing a looming expiration date.
The lawmakers argue that the bill is essential to prevent a sudden spike in insurance costs. Without this extension, millions of citizens could find their current plans unaffordable, potentially leading to a drop in national coverage rates. Fitzpatrick and Suozzi are positioning this effort as a pragmatic solution to a kitchen-table issue.
Securing Long-Term Healthcare Affordability
The proposed three-year window aims to provide stability in the healthcare market. While healthcare remains a contentious topic in Washington, this bipartisan move suggests there's still a path for cooperation when the economic stakes for families are high.
