The subsidies, expanded during the pandemic, are set to expire on December 31st, causing concern among moderate Republicans. The bill, introduced by Rep. Jen Kiggans and Rep. Josh Gottheimer, aims to prevent premium increases for millions. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces pressure as moderate Republicans may join Democrats to force a vote on extending the subsidies.
