The Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits have helped make health care more affordable.
Without an extension, the 22 million Americans who rely on the tax credits to afford coverage are seeing their costs rise by $1,000 on average—but many are seeing even higher increases.

On the one hand, the ACA *already* has absurdly strict Hyde protections, so that's clearly a poison pill stunt.
On the other hand, the fact that he's even talking about negotiating over an income cap suggests a tiny possibility that he's serious. 1/
