The deal reached by Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray would extend federal cost-sharing reduction payments for two years, allow states to change rules through a waiver, restore $106 million in outreach funds, and leave rules regarding essential benefits and pre-existing conditions intact.

The senators will work to recruit party support before proposing legislation this week.

"This is a small step, I'd like to undersell it, not oversell it," committee chairman Alexander said.

However, health insurance stocks popped on the news but quickly stabilized. At time of publication,

  • Aetna Inc (NYSE:AET) traded up 2.7 percent.
  • Anthem Inc (NYSE:ANTM) up 2.5 percent.
  • UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH) up 6.1 percent.
  • HCA Healthcare Inc (NYSE:HCA) up 2.1 percent.
  • Tenet Healthcare Corp (NYSE:THC) up 3.7 percent.
  • Community Health Systems (NYSE:CYH) up 5.9 percent.
  • CIGNA Corporation (NYSE:CI) up 1.7 percent.
  • Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM) up 1.8 percent.

President Donald Trump warned that any negotiations were “short-term” solutions and maintained his familiar position on Obamacare.
