House Republicans passed a bill they say will lower healthcare costs for a broad swath of Americans by roughly 11%.

It's a victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who has been managing deep divisions within the House GOP on the topic of healthcare as insurance premiums are set to spike across the country in a matter of weeks.

One glaring issue that remains unresolved is Obamacare subsidies, which were enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic but are set to expire at the end of this year.

The legislation passed 216 to 211. Just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against it along with all House Democrats.

Massie. Fly in the ointment on the daily

[Yogafist]

Massey is just trying to increase his celebrity to eek out a few extra dollars from whatever MSNBC is calling itself now, or CNN. He will be a regular guest to badmouth conservatives.

Why doesn’t Massie change parties?

Thomas Massie RINO-Ky

The fly in the ointment; the monkey in the wrench. Calling John McClain. Time to drop Hans Gruber.

Time to test the water in Kentucky.

Maybe the good folks in KY can primary this sorry RINO piece of shit.

Massie is a Libertarian not a Democrat.

[Parley Baer]

This is one area that I disagree with Musk on. He will be funding Massie for reelection.

[Kudsman]

Thomas Massie: chairs the Subcommittee on Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust.

One comment, one question.

Figures. Why?

mASSie is NOT a Republican.

[Jane Long]

So far, no record of Musk funding mASSie’s re-election.

[Dr. Franklin]

RINOs love ObamaCare. That’s why it’s still the law.

[House Atreides]

Massie is a Libertarian not a Democrat.

” . . That’s why it’s still the law.”

This was the work of Obama sycophant John Roberts, who jumped through a mobius strip of illogic to justify it.

Only someone evil or compromised (or both) would’ve done that.

[gildafarrell]

Massie is the Liz Cheney of today.

There is no evidence of that-he is not donating to individuals, but functioning as a super pac...
