AP reported a KFF analysis showing ACA marketplace insurers proposed a median 14% premium increase for 2027 after a 20% median increase in 2026; it attributed pressure partly to the expiration of enhanced subsidies and said no comprehensive federal legislation had enough support to pass.

Within the lookback window, strong reporting showed the affordability problem remained unresolved and premiums were still rising after enhanced subsidies expired.

The House Clerk lists Gilbert Ray Cisneros of California's 31st District as signature number 10 on the November 12, 2025 discharge petition to force consideration of H.Res.780 for H.R.1834.

Cisneros took concrete procedural action to move the House toward a vote on the health-affordability legislation, but this action alone did not deliver the promised outcome.
