Trump Says He May Veto Extension of Health Care Subsidies

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said Sunday he may veto a bill to extend Obamacare subsidies if Congress sent one to his desk.

Trump’s remark to reporters on Air Force Once comes after nine swing-district House Republicans joined Democrats Wednesday in advancing legislation to revive expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years.

The Senate has yet to vote on the measure. It’s unlikely that Democrats will be able to overcome Republican opposition in that chamber, but the GOP will face additional pressure following the House vote.

Lawmakers have also shown concerns over a surge in out-of-pocket Obamacare premium costs for the more than 20 million people enrolled in those insurance plans.
