Johnson informs White House of GOP’s stance on ACA subsidies

Speaker Mike Johnson informed the White House that most House Republicans are uninterested in extending the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, complicating GOP health care efforts. This comment came during a call with senior officials as President Trump’s team was preparing a plan to continue the subsidies for two more years. The subsidies, which are set to expire at the year’s end, are crucial for millions and were central to the recent government shutdown negotiations. Democrats pushed for their extension to reopen the government, but GOP leaders sought to delay discussions until after the shutdown concluded.
