It’s official: House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won’t call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.
That means higher insurance premiums will go into effect for millions of Americans who get coverage through Obamacare next year.
The speaker made the announcement Tuesday after a closed-door Republican caucus meeting, saying that leadership failed to reach a deal with centrist members to bring up an ACA amendment on a health care bill set for a vote on Wednesday.
The senate voted on it, but was struck down. So no reason for the house to do shit. Typical Republican bullshit
Ah, okay, wasn’t aware it had been inevitably struck down yet.
The blink-and-you-miss-it dud of a resolution to the longest government shutdown ever.
And now the GOP knows that Democrats will always cave, so they have no reason to not demand whatever the hell they want. They know they’ll get it.
The Republicans always knew the Democrats would cave. Controlled opposition.
It looked like they actually weren’t going to this time.
This, 100%.
They’re all on the same team and taking calls from the same lobbyists.
LOL
Typical bi-partisan bullshit.
