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.”
I’m just going to sit here and enjoy the no deductible insurance provided to me by my blue state job, that costs me $10 a month after trading in vacation time to get a $110 discount each month. Mike Lawler voted against impeaching trump, again on 12/11/25. He voted yes to tabling impeachment in June of 2025 also. More performative bullshit from a rethuglican. Thoughts and prayers to the democrats in his district. Republicans in his district, along with him, can enjoy getting EXACTLY what they voted for. Lawler has that sweet sweet gubment insurance plan, so he’ll be fine. I’ll be waiting with the popcorn when his constituents turn on him.
