More People Than Ever Use Obamacare, But What's Next?

In a big milestone, 24 million Americans have now signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. This law, often called Obamacare, was passed by former President Obama. It's a proud moment for Democrats, but Republicans have always had their doubts. President Biden has made the program even bigger. He signed a law that gives more people cheaper health insurance. But there's a catch. These tax credits that make insurance cheaper will run out at the end of the year, unless Congress does something.

Republicans aren't happy about this. Some have even said people are lying to get cheaper insurance. But other Republicans, like Senator Lisa Murkowski, think the tax credits should stay. The future of Obamacare is uncertain. President-elect Donald Trump has always said it's too expensive and not good enough. But he hasn't said what he'll do to make it better. The sign-up period for HealthCare. gov ends on January 15th. That's a website where people can get health insurance.
