Senate Republicans Ready Obamacare Rescue

A group of GOP senators are working on legislation to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies with policy changes designed to win over conservatives, Politico reports.
The development comes as Democrats are mounting a huge push to make an extension of the enhanced tax credits necessary for them to support a bill that funds the government beyond Sept. 30. It also comes as a growing number of Republicans say failure to act on such an extension would be a political mistake heading into the midterms.
Applegrove: but Heritage and most Republicans so so want decent Healthcare for Americans to fail.
