Ohio lawmakers split as three Republicans join Democrats to revive ACA subsidies for three years
Five Ohio lawmakers backed a Democratic bill to restore expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years, with three Republicans joining Democrats in defying Trump on the measure. Most Ohio Republicans opposed extending the subsidies, and the bill now heads to the Senate where prospects are uncertain. Supporters say reviving the tax credits could relieve about half a million Ohioans facing higher premiums, while critics warn about cost and debt.
