Breaking news. The House has voted to revive the enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies for three years, a huge political win for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats.
The vote was 230-196. All House Democrats and 17 Republicans voted for the bill, which now goes to the Senate. Senators will be under increased pressure to find a deal.
Notably, it wasn’t just vulnerable Republicans and moderates who backed Democrats’ Obamacare bill. That underscores just how deep the anxiety runs among Republicans about ballooning health care costs.
