Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said there will not be an amendment vote on extending expiring ObamaCare enhanced subsidies as part of a House Republican health care bill this week, in a move that is infuriating moderate Republicans who had been pushing to go on the record about the subsidies.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), one of the members who had been pushing for a vote to extend the subsidies that expire Dec. 31, fumed at the decision as he emerged from a House Republican Conference meeting Tuesday morning.
“I think it’s idiotic not to have an up-or-down vote on this issue,” Lawler said, adding: “It is political malpractice.”


Listen, you got what you voted for. Maybe the next time you’re forced to choose between pay your bloated premiums or your bloated deductibles and copays, you’ll remember this moment and vote differently.
I’m just going to sit here, smugly, and enjoy my Italian citizenship and complementary public health care system.
I hope the Italian healthcare system is doing better than it was in 2020.
You want us to check the COVID leaderboard?
If Italy was a US state it would be 21st best of the 51 right between Iowa and Illinois in deaths per million.
Vaffanculo
