Graham Calls for Bipartisan Path on Health Subsidy Debate

Senator Lindsey Graham sharply criticized Democrats’ proposal to extend health-care subsidies, arguing the plan lacks income caps, fails to address fraud, and directs too much money to insurance companies. He also raised concerns about how the funds could be used. Graham said he knows what he opposes but wants Republicans to unite around a clear alternative. He suggested there may be room for a 60-vote compromise, noting that some Democrats agree high-income earners should not receive subsidies, support minimum premium payments to reduce fraud, and are open to health savings accounts and higher-deductible options to lower costs.
