The House won’t vote on extending Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, which will lapse at the end of the year due to a lack of support from moderate Republicans. Despite an 11th-hour effort to attach amendments, the House Rules Committee blocked several changes, and a vote is still expected this Wednesday. Moderate GOP leaders are angry, warning that allowing insurance premiums to soar could have significant political consequences for the party in the upcoming election. Some lawmakers, including Reps. Mike Lawler and Kevin Kiley, expressed frustration with the decision, calling it a “tremendous mistake” and urging others to sign on to bipartisan discharge petitions to force votes on legislation to extend the tax credits.
