She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who is a member of the Finance Committee and chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, punted on the ACA subsidies question.
"I think it needs to be studied," he said.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who is running for re-election to his Texas seat, didn't close the door to an ACA funding extension, but said he's open to modifying the thresholds. "We need to have a discussion about what level is appropriate," Cornyn said, while adding that it could be paired with policies to "eliminate the waste and fraud" in health care.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n5dcfqt6zwjlp5zh27moomlx/bafkreihe7qpflmewjuuigualawyqaik2b55dmgj35okpdpmc3h6m2wqtly@jpeg)
