Four Republicans defy House GOP leaders on health care

Four Republican lawmakers have joined with Democrats to force a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies.
The stunning move came after GOP leadership announced there wouldn’t be an up-or-down House vote on the ACA tax credits that expire in two weeks. The four moderate Republicans broke with House Speaker Mike Johnson and signed onto a Democratic-led petition that will force a House vote on extending the subsidies for three years as early as January. The four GOP lawmakers say their constituents need the extension to offset soaring monthly premiums.
