healthcare subsidy
Subsidized medical coverage
A healthcare subsidy is government financial assistance that helps people afford health insurance or medical care.
Subsidies typically take the form of tax credits, premium reductions, or direct payments, often tied to income level: She qualified for a healthcare subsidy because her income fell below the threshold.
The term gained prominence in the United States with the Affordable Care Act, which expanded subsidies to make insurance marketplace plans more accessible.
