Although the administration has continued making monthly CRS payments, the president has threatened to stop payments, which has created uncertainty among insurers and led to rate increases. A Congressional Budget Office report showed that health insurance premiums would be 20 percent higher in 2018 if CSRs do not continue. Ms. Abutaleb also discussed action to expect from Congress regarding the health care law when members return from their August recess.
