Claimant: Rep. Ritchie Torres (D)
Claim: Ending enhanced ACA subsidies is an “unconditional surrender” that will cause health care premiums for 24 million Americans to double.
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: KFF analysis projects that without the enhanced ACA subsidies, average annual premiums would increase by 114% — from $888 to $1,904 — effectively more than doubling. While the precise number of affected people is uncertain, the overall premium impact Torres cites is accurate.
