"At one point during a meeting between mods and Johnson things got so heated reporters could hear what was being said outside," Gorman recounted, noting that Lawler said: "We are never getting a second reconciliation bill."

"Take those words out of your mouth," Johnson reportedly said.


According to Gorman, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) tried to win over Johnson with two separate proposals to extend the tax credits beyond 2026. Kiggans' legislation included a way to get around the statutory requirement for an extension to be budget-neutral, though Johnson and other Republicans have insisted on other measures to pay for the extension that moderates oppose.

The speaker is such a stooge for trump, he is throwing the gop under the bus to please the guy in the WH. He is assuring the gop political demise in 2026 by refusing to even hold a vote on the ACA. He is hurting the very people that voted for repubs. This is not going over good in many red states.

F Obamacare. It sucks. And those collecting Gov't handouts voted for Pig Harris.
 
Obama and Chief Justice Roberts knew what they was doing

Offer the public something for nothing and it can never be taken away
 
No one in the GOP wants to keep subsidizing healthcare for self-employed millionaires, and aspiring artists who are poor by choice. Let them get real jobs like the people they expect to keep supporting them did.
