President Donald Trump said on Nov. 25 that he is not inclined to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance subsidies, which are set to lapse on Dec. 31.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t favor a two-year extension of ACA subsidies, also known as Obamacare subsidies, but acknowledged that some extension could be necessary to work through legislative matters.
