Fellow Republicans are furious with House Speaker Mike Johnson's decision not to allow a standalone vote to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of this month.
The credits were enacted during the pandemic to lower premiums for Americans buying insurance through ACA marketplaces. Johnson announced at a GOP press event this week that he had explored options to find a "pressure release valve" for those who wanted a vote on the ACA subsidies, but that "there was not an agreement," leaving the House without a scheduled vote, according to Axios.
