House votes to renew Obamacare subsidies for 3 years

The House has voted to renew Obamacare subsidies for three years. Seventeen House Republicans voted with Democrats to continue the health insurance tax credits that expired at the end of December. GOP leaders were unable to stop the vote because enough lawmakers signed a discharge petition to overrule the House Speaker. The bill now goes to the Senate, where pressure is building for a similar bipartisan compromise.
