Speaker Mike Johnson has told the White House that most House Republicans have little interest in extending the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, sources familiar with the conversation told CBS News.

Johnson delivered the message in a phone call with senior administration officials as President Trump’s advisers were drafting a plan to continue the subsidies for an additional two years. That plan that was initially expected to emerge this week.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Johnson’s warning to the White House regarding the lack of GOP House support for the plan. Any White House health care plan would require overwhelming Republican support in the House to be enacted.

    Then they’re probably not interested in, once again, not finding an ACA replacement. Heres to pissing 3 more years away kicking that can down the street again.

    Oh, what’s that? The Dems caved for promises that the proven liars wouldn’t end up keeping? Bravo to everyone and enjoy your new insurance premiums, peasants.

    This is what Johnson decides to stand up to the pedophile for? Economy wrecking illegal tariffs, blatant abuse of the military, illegal diversion of funding, targeting political opponents… He ignores

    But not actively harming poor people? That he will not abide

    Besides being psychopaths who enjoy spreading pain and suffering I can only assume they have calculated this will somehow hurt Dems more…otherwise they are seemingly beyond all reason entirely

      Poor people without medical care are more likely to end up jobless and homeless, and therefore eligible for the concentration camps they want to build.

      A few years ago they were clamoring that no one would have to change doctors or plans they like, and now they don’t even have to pretend to care about anyone making less than median income in the US. They should all just work for pittances until they die of preventable illnesses.

    Republicans aren’t interested in governing. Can’t wait for the next town halls viral footage. In all seriousness though, I legit think these people may start getting shot at town halls.
