Speaker #MikeJohnson on Tuesday shut the door on a vote to extend #AffordableCareAct subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year, bucking moderates in his party who had urged action to prevent millions of Americans from facing higher #health care costs starting Jan 1.#Trump #Republicans #Congress #healthcare #law #policy #HealthInsurance #insurance #ACA #HealthyIfYoureWealthy #affordability #CostOfLiving #CostOfDying https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/us/politics/obamacare-subsidies-house.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Though #MikeJohnson had signaled openness to allowing debate on the proposal, he ultimately rejected a bid to do so by politically vulnerable #Republicans who had hoped for a vote that would, at the very least, allow them to show voters they had tried to avoid rising premiums.#Trump #House #Congress #healthcare #law #policy #HealthInsurance #insurance #AffordableCareAct #ACA #subsidies #HealthyIfYoureWealthy #affordability #CostOfLiving #CostOfDying

Instead, the #House is set on Wednesday to consider a narrow #GOP #health care plan that would allow #AffordableCareAct subsidies beefed up during the pandemic to expire & make several small changes aimed at bringing down costs over the long term.The speaker’s decision came after a day of waffling that reflected the deep disarray in GOP ranks over how to address rising #healthcare costs, an issue that #Democrats have promised to make a centerpiece of their midterm election campaigns.#Trump

Most #Republicans are vehemently opposed to the #AffordableCareAct, which was implemented in 2014 during the #Obama admin, but they have been unable to coalesce around a plan to replace it. A small group of Republicans from swing districts, alarmed about the political consequences of allowing the subsidies to expire, had been urging Johnson to allow a vote on allowing them to continue, at least temporarily.After a closed-door morning meeting with Republicans, Johnson ruled out such a vote.

@Nonilex He is trying to allow MAGA to avoid publicly voting against ACA subsidies in a futile attempt to thread the needle and create a new dumb unacceptable harmful sham they can say they voted for. He is throwing Lawler under the Trump Train to protect ultra MAGA even in ultra red districts. Choo choo boys! Lawler's toast.

@Nonilex Mike Johnson is determined to create the wave that will make Republican majorities in Congress a historical anomaly.
