Republicans Push Health Subsidy Vote, Despite Senate Hurdle
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Moderate Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have taken a surprising step to extend crucial healthcare subsidies, which could help millions of Americans afford their insurance. These subsidies are set to expire soon, potentially causing premiums to double and increasing the number of uninsured individuals. Four Republicans and all Democrats signed a discharge petition to bypass leadership and bring the measure to the floor for a vote. The House is expected to pass the measure, but it faces challenges in the Senate. If the subsidies expire, an additional 3.8 million people could become uninsured each year.
