WASHINGTON — The House voted Thursday to revive expired Obamacare funds for three years, after a group of Republicans rebelled against their party leaders and teamed up with Democrats to force the vote.


The vote was 230-196, with 17 Republicans joining a unanimous Democratic caucus to pass the legislation. Most of the breakaway GOP lawmakers represent swing districts and are wary of health care becoming a political vulnerability in the 2026 midterms.rr

The bill would resurrect Affordable Care Act premium tax credits for about 22 million Americans after Republicans rejected bills last year to extend the money past the Dec. 31 deadline. Insurance premiums are estimated to double, on average, for those enrollees this year unless the funding is restored.

Republicans know they are facing a blood bath in November. Trump's continue to go His illegal arrest of Maduro does not pass the smell test (heads of state are immune from criminal prosecution, which Trump is himself is taking advantage himself). Trump's control of the Republican Party is slipping away.

Tell that to Mussolini, Gaddafi, Saddam, and the rest of these guys.

The story speaks for itself, ReNaziKlans can't handle the truth, they prefer the lies.
 
Meh, if it makes it past the Senate (slim to zero chance), Trump will veto it.
 
Dupe

 
Yep, 17 House GOPers joined with the dimocraps to renew the Obamacare subsidies yesterday. This seems to have escaped USMB notice.
How the feckless and spineless leadership let this appear on the calendar is an indictment of their negligible existence.
Reports are that it is DOA in the senate, I’m not keeping my hopes up.
lol color me shocked

Do they have the votes to override a veto? I no longer trust the Senate to do what is best for America, only their own political power.

Insurance premiums aren't going up at all, we're just stopping the subsidies from getting charged off to the national debt.
