Summary
<p>An update on Congressional plans -- or the lack thereof -- to extend Obamacare subsidies led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Dec 8. While the Senate is expected to vote on a deal to extend the subsidies for 3-years, political partisanship remains and deals will be difficult to achieve. We also previewed what Bloomberg News reports to be a $12 billion aid package for farmers, which the White House is expected to roll out today. Other topics of discussion also include a discussion of our 2026 crypto policy outlook, with a focus on forthcoming stablecoin and crypto rules key for firms like Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle and Bullish. <br /><br />The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington D.C.<br /><br />The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST.
