House passes GOP health care bill that doesn't extend ACA subsidies

(ABC News) The House on Wednesday cleared a Republican health care package, 216-211, that does not extend the expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

Four moderate Republicans who had earlier Wednesday bucked GOP leaders and signed a Democratic-backed discharge petition voted in favor of the health care package. Rep. Thomas Massie was the only Republican no vote.

The measure now goes to the Senate, where it's unlikely to pass, meaning Congress is set to leave for the holiday recess as millions of Americans will see their health care premiums skyrocket.

it doesn't say what the Magat Bill was. I assume it was the plan to give people 2,000 dollars to pay for 10,000 dollar premiums and deductibles. Not saying what the Magats voted for hides it from the public.

I read "up to $1500" and that cannot even be used on the cost of premiums, it's just HSA stuff in connecting with really high deductible "insurance"

really showing how repukes have zero clue how any of this shit works and simply do not fucking care how catastrophic it is for anyone who has any health issues
