“Make no mistake, the blame behind the skyrocketing health care costs millions are facing today is squarely at the feet of House Republicans, and the American people know it,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) said in a statement. “Instead of putting forth a serious proposal to address spiking health care costs, House Republicans chose to focus on delivering massive tax breaks for the wealthiest few — never even allowing a floor vote to save the tax credits before their expiration.”
It is true no vote took place before the expiration, but jitters about an electoral backlash prompted a handful of House Republicans to take the rare step last month of circumventing GOP leadership and signing onto an effort backed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to force a floor vote on a three-year extension of the expired subsidies.
That vote is now expected to take place in the coming weeks, though Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he has no intention of holding a vote in his own chamber, and even Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has played down the prospects of a bipartisan extension.
“Once Jan. 1 comes and everyone is locked into their insurance proposals, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube,” he said last month.
The purple-district Republicans said they intend to keep trying, and they are coordinating with a bipartisan group of senators that is trying to strike a late compromise to save the subsidies. But Democrats believe it is too little, too late — even as they say it is a telling move.
For the vulnerable Republicans “to come on at the 11th hour shows they get it,” said Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.). “Their constituents are going to be mighty mad, and they’re feeling it already.”

Just repeal this shit “tax” already.
What public anger over expired Obamacare subsidies?
This is a media war: Are those “skyrocketing costs” due to Republican stinginess, or are they inherent to Obamacare which Democrats tried to obscure with unaffordable subsidies?
Obamacare caused the high prices delete it if not we will remember you naxt election.
The democRATs passed the unsustainable 0bama Care plan. Don’t pass subsidies and make people pay what they voted for. Make sure the people hurt by this know it is democRATs that did this to them.
Who didn’t see this coming? Thankyou John McCain😠. You can bet the media will amplify this. If the GOP isn’t prepared for this, we are going to lose bad in the midterms
Anyone on government welfare should have their right to vote removed
Why did the Democrats write the law so that the subsidies would expire at this time, thereby causing the premium prices to skyrocket?
remember the Democrats created this deadline by law when they authorized the subsidies years ago.
“Your Democrat congressman set the expiration of this subsidy for the end of 2025. Don’t vote for the evil democrat in your district who made the subsidy expire!”
COVID WAS IN 2020.
NOW THE OBAMA DEMS WANT ANOTHER 3 TEARS EXTENSION.
COVID IS LINGERING FOR A VERY LONG TIME-—IN MANY WAYS
Fact check Politico: Zero Republicans voted for the formation of the tar baby named Obamacare.
Talking to hear themselves talk.
And the STUPID GOP will fall all over themselves to help the Dems bring them back.
People should be angry — at Democrats for forcing the horrendous Obamacare on people needing cheap, sensible healthcare insurance plans.
Having caused the issue with obamacare, luny libs are now propagandizing
and fund raising off their naive constituents.
Unfortunately this is a big deal for the republicans. People aren’t going to see that the democrats are 100% to blame for this and no amount of pointing it out will make a difference. They see what is in front of them right now and how expensive the democratcare is. The republicans best bet is to keep hammering the fraud going to democrat whores.
