WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 as renegade GOP lawmakers joined essentially all Democrats in voting for the measure.

Really, I don't ever see them abolishing/repealing anything.
Will Trump have the courage to veto because th Senate will pass this…
Too risky re: timing and midterms.
After they retake the House with a larger majority, they can throw this out and install a better bill.
Nonsense. The Republicans are going to lose either way and it’s because no one can tell you what they stand for. You can’t even get them to agree that Obamacare is trash when just 10 years ago thy voted over and over to repeal it. I suspect Trump will sign this. He’s not as good at fighting Congress as he is on the world stage.
DOGE savings wiped out in spades in 3, 2, 1...
Please! They'll do nothing of the sort. There are too many McStains still in Congress.
About the only redeeming quality of this whole sordid affair is the full exposure of those that claim to be pro-America yet are woefully not.
I can actually see Trump coming out in favor of fully subsidized healthcare. So called Medicare for all when th Democrats are in power. It may even become law.
They could
They won’t
But they could
I'm reminded of Trump's 2016 campaign promises that he wanted to get rid of Obamacare and replace with something more beautiful like no one's ever seen before. It was one of the things that made me grimace and give Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson a look. (Until Johnson came out in favor or more carbon credits like Hillary did.)
Of course, I'd rather get rid of Obamacare (Full stop).
REPUBLICANS who joined Dems:
Andrew Garbarino (N.Y.)
Mike Lawler (N.Y.)
Nick LaLota (N.Y.)
Mike Carey (Ohio)
David Joyce (Ohio)
Max Miller (Ohio)
Ryan Mackenzie (Pa.)
Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.)
Rob Bresnahan (Pa.)
Tom Kean (N.J.)
David Valadao (Calif.)
Rob Wittman (Va.)
Jeff Hurd (Colo.)
Maria Elvira-Salazar (Fla.)
Derrick Van Orden (Wis.)
Zach Nunn (Iowa)
Monica De La Cruz (Texas)
This is going to keep happening unless the GOP gets serious about comprehensive healthcare reform. Until they do, they will be scared into extending Obamacare. Do they really want to propose an alternative? Even if they do, are they smart and politically disciplined enough to do so? I leave those questions unanswered.
Of course they won’t. They have no way of finding an alternative to offer voters that doesn’t stink as badly.
Guns and Butter,
And they’re all in on it, including Trump’s Soviet Military Empire
Nothing for the MAGA people anymore.
They only voted over and over to repeal when it had no chance of being repealed. Whenever there was even a slight chance it would be repealed, they tucked and ran.
A three year extension gets the subsidies off the legislative docket till 2029 - after the 2028 election; but that will also make it a campaign issue for Congress in the 2028 elections.
The best deal would have been a one year extension, leaving it to the “new Congress” in 2027 to make bigger changes.
BS, is what you are saeeing.
We have weak pathetic
House leader no one is scared of .
The midterms are Over if this passes .
The dems andDem media will
wipe out our base .
The gop wanted to lose .
They wanted to stop Trump. .
Veto this bill and force the gop to create a real solution
The party of weasels needs to be kicked in the a$$.
