共和党立法者阻止投票延长ACA补贴, 冒着增加数百万人保险费的风险。 Republican lawmakers block vote to extend ACA subsidies, risking higher premiums for millions.

麦克·劳勒(R-NY)对共和党领导层表示强烈失望, 众议院议长麦克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)阻止投票延长12月31日到期的COVID-19年代对可负担护理法覆盖面的补贴。 Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) voiced strong frustration with Republican leadership after House Speaker Mike Johnson blocked a vote to extend COVID-19-era subsidies for Affordable Care Act coverage, which expire December 31. 尽管温和的共和党和共和党各邦的受惠者普遍支持, 但Lawler却将无所作为称为“傲慢”和“不道德”, 批评人民党和民主党领导人没有采取行动。 Lawler called the inaction "absurd" and "idiotic," criticizing both GOP and Democratic leaders for failing to act, despite widespread support among moderate Republicans and beneficiaries in Republican-leaning states. 他说,他愿意参加民主党领导的退伍请愿,以迫使投票,因为补贴帮助数百万人买得起医疗保险。 He said he’s open to joining a Democratic-led discharge petition to force a vote, as the subsidies help millions afford health insurance. 如果不采取行动,数以百万计的人在生活费用上涨的情况下可能面临更高的保险费,而对于如何为延长供资没有达成协议。 Without action, millions could face higher premiums amid rising living costs, with no agreement reached on how to fund an extension.
