flag Republican lawmakers block vote to extend ACA subsidies, risking higher premiums for millions.

flag Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) voiced strong frustration with Republican leadership after House Speaker Mike Johnson blocked a vote to extend COVID-19-era subsidies for Affordable Care Act coverage, which expire December 31. flag Lawler called the inaction "absurd" and "idiotic," criticizing both GOP and Democratic leaders for failing to act, despite widespread support among moderate Republicans and beneficiaries in Republican-leaning states. flag He said he’s open to joining a Democratic-led discharge petition to force a vote, as the subsidies help millions afford health insurance. flag Without action, millions could face higher premiums amid rising living costs, with no agreement reached on how to fund an extension.
