The Obama administration is proposing to cover the ObamaCare insurance subsidy payments for insurers and individuals who purchase coverage through the Affordable Care Act, according to an internal government document obtained by The New York Times.
The plan is part of an effort to shore up the finances of the federal government after Congress failed to fund the program last month.
The Treasury Department is funding roughly $2.4 billion in the subsidies, and the Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for providing health insurance to those eligible.
The administration has also offered to pay insurers to buy their policies in a state where they can offer them to the public, which will cover up to 70 percent of the cost.
However, the White House has indicated that it would prefer to pay premiums to insurers in the states where they have the largest market share.
Under the administration’s proposal, insurers would be able to offer plans in those states to consumers who are enrolled in the law’s insurance exchanges.
In the document, the administration describes the benefits that insurers would receive from the subsidies as a way to “enhance the quality of coverage” for consumers.
Insurers are expected to have to meet a number of conditions to receive the subsidies.
They must provide coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, and they must offer plans that cover preventive care, maternity care and mental health services.
They also must provide insurance for those with pre and post-existing medical conditions.
The administration is also proposing to pay the government a $2,000 subsidy for each enrollee who purchases coverage through an exchange.
The subsidy would be offset by the costs of paying the insurance premium, according the document.
The proposal comes amid growing concern about the costs for individuals who are eligible to receive subsidies through the law.
A report by the Congressional Budget Office in June found that the subsidies would be used to cover up for more than $1 trillion of the costs incurred by the law since its passage in 2010.
The Obama administration has indicated it is willing to cover some of the losses to individuals who do not purchase coverage on the exchanges.
It is also considering creating a new program to pay premium subsidies to those who do purchase coverage.
The White House and other administration officials have said the subsidies are intended to help Americans pay for healthcare coverage, not to offset the cost of the insurance policies.
In the past, the Obama administration paid insurers a set amount each month to offset premium increases, but those payments are now being phased out.
The Trump administration has proposed a different approach.
It has proposed that people who purchase their insurance through the health care exchanges pay the full cost of their insurance, while people who are not covered by the federal exchange plan would pay a lower percentage of their income to offset costs.
Under the administration proposal, people with incomes up to 400 percent of poverty would be eligible for subsidies.
Under Trump’s plan, people making between $30,000 and $50,000 would be exempt from paying premiums.
