The stunning move comes after #House #Republican leaders pushed ahead with a #healthcare bill that does not address the soaring monthly #premiums that millions of people will soon endure as the tax credits for those who buy #insurance through the #AffordableCareAct expire at year’s end.#Democrats led by Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries of New York needed 218 signatures to force a floor vote on their bill, which would extend the subsides for 3 years.#Trump #law #policy #HealthInsurance #ACA

@Nonilex I have little hope it will pass, but at least the scum will be forced to self identify.

Republican Reps Brian Fitzpatrick, Robert Bresnahan & Ryan Mackenzie, all from #Pennsylvania, & Mike Lawler of #NewYork signed on Wednesday morning, pushing it to the magic number of 218. A vote on the subsidy bill could come as soon as January under #House rules.“Unfortunately, it is House leadership themselves that have forced this outcome.” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.#Trump #Congress #healthcare #law #policy #HealthInsurance #ACA #HealthyIfYoureWealthy #affordability #CostOfLiving

@Nonilex All the heat the Senate Dems took for ending the shutdown for that Senate vote, they played this magnificently. End result is absolutely magnificent. This passes the House on a discharge petition and Trump either signs it or lets it pass without signature and people get healthcare, or he vetoes it and healthcare premiums explode and he gets held *personally* responsible for it. This is just masterful.

@Nonilex the Pennsylvania ACA Portal is already closed for 2026. Many of us have just straight up cancelled our insurance thru Pennie because the prices averaged 5x increase. As usual too little too late

@Nonilex most of the GOP is not legislating at all. they are performing death theatre for the sole audience their cult worships, 47.with 10% of congress choosing not to run for congress again, it will be an interesting midterm election...

@Nonilex Please don't use the word 'centrist' to describe politicians of either partyThe Overton Window has been pushed so far to the Right, the word has no meaning anymore. If it did, it would mean 'representing a majority if Americans polledAny #GOP Congress-critter has had to lick #Fascist boot to get a seat, & has publicly supported calling the #January6 #Insurrection a 'peaceful protest' of a 'stolen election'
