Fitzpatrick Pushing for ACA Subsidy Extension
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Pennsylvania, is determined to push for a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, despite House Speaker Mike Johnsons efforts to find an alternative solution. Fitzpatrick is using a discharge petition to force the issue onto the House floor, while Johnson had previously offered a compromise involving a similar amendment and budget cuts. However, a meeting between Fitzpatrick, moderate Republicans, and Johnsons staff ended without a clear agreement. Meanwhile, the House Rules Committee is preparing a different healthcare package, and several centrist lawmakers have submitted additional amendments to extend or create new tax deductions for health insurance. Fitzpatrick continues to meet with various groups to reach a broader healthcare deal.
