Which law first created the enhanced ACA subsidies in 2021?

Question

Accepted Answer

The American Rescue Plan Act, enacted March 11, 2021, created the enhanced subsidies by eliminating the 400% FPL income cap and reducing premium contributions to 8.5% of household income maximum. This removed the "subsidy cliff" where people earning just over 400% FPL lost all assistance. The Inflation Reduction Act later extended these enhancements through 2025. Both laws passed without Republican votes using budget reconciliation, showing Democrats controlled this expansion.
