US House breaks with Trump to revive Affordable Care Act subsidies
AI Summary
The US House passed a bill to revive Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for three years, which had expired at the end of last year. The vote was 230-196, with 17 Republicans joining all Democrats in favor, defying opposition from Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. The credits aim to lower premiums for ACA health plans, but experts predict premiums could double without them. The bill's future is uncertain as it heads to the Republican-controlled Senate, which previously rejected a similar measure. Some Republicans supported the bill to avoid increased healthcare costs for their constituents, while others hope the Senate will revise it. The move was initiated by a discharge petition signed by a few Republicans after House leadership refused to bring any deal to the floor.
