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.
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.
Promises to hold a vote? They’ll vote.
No need to get so excited, no one expected them to do the right thing on the subsidies.
Looks like Trump was intending to honor the deal but he couldn’t keep his circus in line.
