House GOP leaders will bring a vote next week on a package of health care bills that does not include an extension of expiring ObamaCare enhanced subsidies, as Republicans remain divided about how to address the health care cliff ahead of a midterm election year.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters the legislation will comprise GOP-backed ideas that “every Republican agrees to,” which have been discussed across various House committees this year. “We have some low-hanging fruit that every Republican agrees to,” Johnson said at a press conference.

“You’re going to see a package come together that will be on the floor next week that will actually reduce premiums for 100 percent of Americans who are on health insurance.” But that package is not set to include any measure to extend the subsidies that expire at the end of the year. If those enhanced subsidies expire, out-of-pocket costs for health insurance will spike drastically for millions of Americans.

Following a House GOP conference meeting Wednesday morning, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said there was no consensus about extending the expiring enhanced subsidies. “There wasn’t agreement,” Scalise said. “We’ve got to bring items right now that we have full consensus on, because we have such a small majority, and we’ll be doing that.”

2. So they've run roughshod WITH a small majority and now that's an excuse

This has Hey! We tried!!! but those darn Democrats written all over it


Those proposals included expansion of health savings accounts, association health care plans, reforms to the pharmacy benefit manager industry and price transparency.
Some of those ideas had bipartisan support in the past, but a bill that doesn’t address the expiring subsidies is unlikely to get 60 votes to pass the Senate.
The Senate, meanwhile, is set to vote Thursday on competing Republican and Democratic health care plans — one to extend the subsidies, the other to turn the subsidies into federally funded health savings accounts for people on high-deductible plans. Neither proposal is expected to pass.

7. Mike "Tiny" Johnson will block any attempt to extend the subsidies because of the Hastert Rule.
