As House Speaker Mike Johnson eyes a vote next week on a to-be-announced health care package, a growing number of House Republicans are revolting against leadership by trying to force a vote on extending the expiring Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies.
Nearly a dozen Republicans – many from swing districts – have signed onto dueling bipartisan discharge petitions to extend and reform the subsidies in the hopes of bypassing leadership and triggering a vote on the House floor.
This move comes as the subsidies are set to expire at the end of the month, which will prompt health premiums for more than 20 million Americans to soar.
The pressure is high enough to rebel against the Trumpdoesntcare? Good.
Still, replacing any Republican is a good idea.
Self-preservation, but still good news. You can’t have constituents when their families have all bankrupted themselves over medical debt. Do what the rest of the modern world does and implement universal healthcare! You can still sell out your voting base for profit, but at least they’ll still be around…
