Republicans have a mess on their hands over health care subsidies – Axios

Republicans have a mess on their hands over health care subsidies – By Stef W. Kight,Kate Santaliz, and Hans Nichols
Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are both considering votes on GOP health care priorities next week — if they can figure out what those priorities are.
Why it matters: Democrats are unified in their demand for a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, which expire Dec. 31. Republicans are still divided and debating their counter offers.
- Johnson (R-La.) has said he hopes to reveal a House GOP health care package early next week, though some sources are skeptical that will happen.
- Thune (R-S.D.) has promised Democrats a vote on their health care bill next week. But his conference is still in the idea stage on their counters, which are more likely to come as amendment or unanimous consent votes rather than a single broader GOP package.
Between the lines: Don’t expect any health care package to pass next week.
- The real question is whether the voting exercise in the Senate and maybe the House fuels ongoing bipartisan dealmaking — or hampers it.
Zoom in: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is circulating a plan that would extend the expiring subsidies — but with a $200,000 income cap and no zero-dollar premium packages, Semafor’s Burgess Everett reports.
- Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) told Axios he hopes a GOP package will include moving the expiring subsidies into health care savings accounts and adding his bipartisan bill requiring more price transparency.
- Republicans are also again eyeing changes known as cost-sharing reductions, aimed at lowering premiums, but could cut subsidies for some enrollees.
- Multiple senators described the conversations as broad and fluid, with no real consensus this week on any one, single GOP package. And Hyde protections continue to be a sore spot, with some Republicans demanding increased assurances that subsidies aren’t used for abortions.
In the House, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) has been holding “listening sessions” with committee leaders and rank-and-file Republicans for weeks to find a consensus GOP plan.
- A bipartisan group of 35 centrist lawmakers , led by Reps. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) and Josh Gottheimer, unveiled a two-year extension of the ACA subsidies Thursday, but it doesn’t have buy in from leadership.
- “We’re going to come up with something that I think even people like Jen would support,” Scalise said Thursday.
- House GOP leaders have also discussed proposals that would not extend the enhanced subsidies, but instead expand Association Health Plans, where employers band together to purchase health coverage for workers.

@froomkin.bsky.social By a strange coincidence I was in the Senate gallery on Sep 2 when Thune threatened to do this unless Dems caved. Then Schumer got up and said Dems wouldn't be changing course, in fact he gave a (unexpected by me) banger of a speech. Dick Durban made a few good points too, keeping in mind he was barely audible to people in the gallery...he's a low talker.
'Egos are often part of the territory in politics, but I have never
seen a bully in the Oval Office with such a nakedly fragile ego.
Earlier today, I got to see that ego in all its ugly glory while I was
driving to the Capitol. In driving past the Department of Labor, I got
to see [...] the massive banners that have Donald Trump's face airbrushed on them. [...] For generations, Americans have looked at these kinds of images and laughed at them [...] because they are such obvious signs of deep insecurity.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other bullies throughout
history have depended on these images because they were desperate to seem powerful and important and untouchable.' - Chuck Schumer#uspol #chuckschumer #dickdurbin #trump #johnthune #ussenate

Thune’s pre-recess game plan – POLITICO
IN TODAY’S EDITION:
— Thune’s ‘minibus’ dream for this week
— Grassley’s willing to cancel August recess
— GOP blames Hamas as conditions in Gaza worsenSenators are racing the clock to make a dent in both the government funding process and President Donald Trump’s backlog of nominees before heading home for August recess.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is hoping to get the first appropriations package through the chamber by the end of this week, with lawmakers on the hook for landing a deal to avoid a shutdown come Sept. 30. To that end, GOP leaders are negotiating with members of their conference over a “minibus” of three bills that would, collectively, fund the departments of Commerce, Justice, Agriculture and Veterans Affairs, as well as key military construction projects and the FDA. Sen. John Kennedy’s opposition to including legislation that would fund congressional operations will likely force leadership to postpone debating a fourth bill at this time.
The pending package will require senators to run out two, 30-hour debate clocks; the ability to move faster will require buy-in from all 100 senators. It will also take time for lawmakers of both parties to agree on amendments and then hold votes, and Democrats are still deliberating their strategy, a person granted anonymity to share private negotiations tells Jordain. Republican leadership still believes it can pass the mini-bus before leaving town, according to a second person granted anonymity. But one potential fallback option, according to two people granted anonymity, could be for the Senate to schedule a final passage vote before they leave town for the first week back in September.
Senate Republicans are also under pressure from Trump to confirm more of his nominees before heading home for recess. Thune has warned his members to prepare to vote at least through this weekend after the president urged senators to stay in Washington through August to wrap up the work, though many lawmakers aren’t pleased with that idea. They’re eager, instead, to get back to their home states, especially as they look to counter Democratic messaging against the freshly-passed GOP megabill.
