The emerging deal would be a two-year extension, and in the second year, patients could choose to have funds deposited in a health savings account instead of those subsidies going to an insurance company.

The agency describes the issue as a medical concern with a crew member aboard the orbiting lab.

NASA did not share details about the issue or which crew member was affected.

The agency described their condition as stable.

The medical concern canceled a planned spacewalk today, and now NASA says it's exploring the possibility of bringing the crew home early.

That would cut short the Crew 11 mission, which launched the station back in August.

Crews typically spend six to eight months living and working on the station.

The crew consists of two NASA astronauts, a Japanese astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut.
