Time is running out for Congress to find a solution for health insurance, as tax credits under Obamacare are set to expire this month. Thousands of Kansans, among millions of Americans, could see their insurance premiums skyrocket.

Republicans put forward a plan to expand health savings accounts, and Democrats want to extend the tax credits.

While both major parties put forward healthcare bills to address this problem, they both failed in the U.S. Senate.

Congress has a deadline of December 15 to pass a healthcare bill in order to affect benefits that start on New Year's Day.
