We have seen more and more efforts to find agreement through bipartisan bills and frameworks, and the story gets into some of them. But again, something that could move the needle on those or something else in the mix is a clear endorsement from Trump.

What that means: Without any major developments, we're headed toward multiple votes that fall short or face other obstacles.

Senate Dems have opted for a 3-year clean extension of the expiring ACA credits. What we see from Senate Rs is still in flux.
In the House -- GOP leaders are readying a health bill (few details so far) through the weekend for next week. House Ds are still united on their discharge petition.

A lot of factors are still at play but one key thing to watch: Rs may not offer an alternate proposal for a vote next week alongside the Dem bill
It’s also still not clear what bill Senate Dems will choose to vote on.

Senators in both parties today acknowledged that finding agreement in a health deal before next week’s vote is a long shot.

Louisiana surgeon general Abraham installed as deputy at CDC - Roll Call
Abraham is a critic of mass vaccination and strong supporter of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agenda.
And also yesterday we saw a new addition to CDC leadership with Louisiana’s Abraham (also a former member of Congress). Will be curious how Congress responds as the next ACIP meetings are also next week.

Next Wednesday Senate HELP is having its hearing to follow up on Finance’s discussion of ACA and HSAs. How soon will we see text on a plan from Senate Rs soon after that?

Given, the comments Trump made last night on AF1: It’s still unclear what he may pitch in December.
“I don’t want to extend them for two years… Some kind of extension may be necessary to get something else done because the unaffordable care act has been a disaster.”

One key question still is what would it take for some of the various bills that have been introduced to gain traction in the other chamber.

Friday, as the House heads home, we have a new bipartisan bill in the mix from Reps. Bacon, Suozzi, Hurd and Gottheimer.
It's in line with their framework we reported on earlier this month, but has some key differences from the Liccardo/Kiley extension bill.

Yesterday the Senate headed out for Thanksgiving recess. 🧵
The Senate has been largely split on party lines b/w extending the ACA credits vs putting that money into HSAs. But committee leaders are hoping things could change the week after the break with a hearing in the works.

Next up: The House returned yesterday to vote on reopening the federal government. But while Senate Rs seem more in step on what sort of health care bill they want to pursue this year -- House Rs have some more "differences of opinion."
