Legislative Summary: Comparison of Subsidy Revival Bills

Side-by-Side of Enhanced Subsidy Proposals

The table below compares legislation that would revive and modify the now-expired enhanced subsidy regime, along with the subsidy regime of Obamacare as enacted (i.e., current law subsidy levels) and the regime passed in the American Rescue Plan Act and extended in the Inflation Reduction Act (i.e., prior law subsidy levels). All numbers are expressed as the maximum amount (dollar figure or percentage of income) a household would pay for benchmark coverage (i.e., the second-lowest cost silver plan), with the federal subsidy covering any difference.
