A bipartisan discharge petition exists in Congress to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies and prevent skyrocketing premiums at the start of the year.

DFL Chair Richard Carlbom said “A bipartisan path exists. The House already has several Republicans joining Democrats to protect working families by extending ACA subsidies.
