#House passes #bill to extend #healthcare #subsidies in defiance of #GOP leaders

In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House passed #legislation Thursday, 230-196, that would extend expired #health care subsidies for those who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act [ #ACA] as “renegade” GOP lawmakers joined essentially all #Democrats in voting for the measure.

“Only 7% of the population relies on Obamacare marketplace plans. This chamber should be about helping 100% of Americans,” said Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Apparently Rep. Smith is forgetting that "all Americans" include that 7%.

They are so bloody self-centered!

Forcing the vote came about after a handful of #Republicans signed on to a so-called “discharge petition” to unlock debate, bypassing objections from #House Speaker #MikeJohnson. The bill now goes to the #Senate, where pressure is building for a similar bipartisan compromise.
The rare political coalitions are rushing to resolve the standoff over enhanced #TaxCredits put in place during the #COVID-19 crisis but expired late last year after no agreement was reached during the government #shutdown.

other than TACO's call to not have 2026 elections, this is the clearest sign that at least a few GOP are in fear of their political futures.
