The United States — United States House of Representatives passed legislation, 230-196, to extend expired health care subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. This vote was a significant rebuke of United States — Republican Party (United States) leadership, as a handful of Republican lawmakers, including Brian Fitzpatrick, Rob Bresnahan, Ryan Mackenzie, and Mike Lawler, joined nearly all United States — Democratic Party (United States) members to force the issue to a vote via a 'discharge petition,' bypassing objections from House Speaker Mike Johnson. The bill, which would provide a three-year extension of the subsidy, is estimated by the United States — Congressional Budget Office to increase the national deficit by approximately $80.6 billion over the next decade and increase the number of people with health insurance by millions.
