That's NPR's Jackie Northam reporting. President Trump may be changing his mind about extending subsidies to help people buy health insurance. NPR's Mara Liasson reports.

For months, President Trump and Republicans in Congress said the government should not extend expiring Obamacare subsidies. But now, as a promised December vote on the tax credits nears, Trump may be reversing his position. He is reportedly considering a plan to extend the subsidies for two years with an income cap, even though it's not clear that Republicans in Congress would go along with that. And the president himself said on Tuesday that he would rather not extend the subsidies, but, quote, some kind of extension may be necessary. More than 20 million people benefit from the Obamacare tax credits to help them afford health insurance. President Trump has tried and failed to get rid of Obamacare altogether, but the program has proved tough to uproot. Mara Liasson, NPR News.
