The House passed a conservative health care bill that does not extend expiring ACA subsidies, risking increased premiums, while bipartisan efforts and discharge petitions aim to find a compromise. Additionally, the Senate approved Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator and passed the ROTOR Act to improve military helicopter safety, amidst ongoing political debates and investigations into military and presidential actions.
House Republicans are divided over extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, with some moderates refusing to withdraw discharge petitions for a floor vote, while GOP leadership attempts to negotiate amendments and pass a health care bill amid internal disagreements and upcoming votes.
House Republicans are set to vote on a health care bill that includes measures like association health plans and transparency for pharmacy benefit managers, but does not address the expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies, which are likely to lapse, leading to higher premiums and more uninsured individuals in 2026.
