House conservatives are vowing to block any funding deal that would extend the expiring enhanced subsidies for the Affordable Care Act.
Republican leadership in the House is trying to figure out how and if they should extend the subsidies, as millions of Americans could otherwise see their health care premiums spike at the end of the year, and vulnerable Republicans are likewise pressuring leadership to extend the subsidies. One source close to leadership told NOTUS that Republicans are looking at a number of options, including attaching a clean extension to a government funding bill or adding an income cap to the subsidies.
But members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus say those ideas are non-starters for them.
