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.

Trump’s budget bill passed — here’s what that means for Acadiana
The “Big, Beautiful Bill” makes cuts to numerous federal assistance programs and incentives, which will be especially impactful in a state as federally-dependent as Louisiana.

Seen as someone who can navigate both the #progressive & #moderate wings of his party, #HakeemJeffries is also viewed as a potential Speaker if #Democrats regain control of the #House.
…
House Majority Leader #SteveScalise told reporters that #Trump persuaded holdouts to get behind the bill in an early morning phone call by emphasizing that no more changes would be made to the #legislation.

#SteveScalise Knows Exactly What Led to the #BourbonStreet Attack: #DEI Initiatives
#Scalise claimed diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives bore part of the blame for #lawenforcement’s failure to disrupt attack that left 15 people dead and dozens more injured.
“Some of these agencies have gotten so wrapped up in the DEI movement — call it #wokeness, call it whatever you want — where their main focus is on diversity and inclusion as opposed to security,” https://theintercept.com/2025/01/02/steve-scalise-bourbon-street-new-orleans-attack/

U.S. Rep. #StevenHorsford (D-Nevada) rightfully introduced a bill to censure #ClayHiggins for bringing discredit and disgrace to the House of Representatives.
Then #SteveScalise (R-Louisianna) (remember that piece of shit? The one who called himself 'David Duke without the baggage') kvetches about it on the house floor.

Absolutely obscene gaslighting by #Republican Rep. #SteveScalise. The fact is that it has been Republicans and Republican voters who have been completely unhinged following the #TrumpShooting, blasting out one irresponsible #conspiracytheory after another, and posting incessantly with perverse revenge fantasies against their perceived enemies (who had nothing to do with the shooting). But somehow it's the Dems who are engaged in violent rhetoric? Give me a fucking break.

Rep. #SteveScalise of the state of Louisiana wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that the United States “must stand strongly with our greatest Middle East ally as they defend themselves against Iran,” adding that the Biden administration “cannot continue to capitulate to terrorists.”
Pretty hilarious from guy who has spent the last 7+ years not only capitulating to a terrorist, but fellating him on demand with exceptional devotion and skill.

Steve Scalise (R-LA) is a shameless liar. I guess he learned nothing from his brush with death.

CW: US politics tepid take
My tepid take on the whole speaker-of-the-house debacle is that while Kevin, Steve, and Jim might be personally embarrassed by having their own party reject them, they're still well on the way to accomplishing the primary goal of the insurrection party: bringing the government down.
#GOP #InsurrectionParty #KevinMcCarthy #SteveScalise #JimJordan
-
Though one more #Republican was present to vote for him Wed, #JimJordan only flipped 2 of his 20 colleagues who opposed him on Tues. What’s worse is that in the past 24hrs, Jordan LOST support from 4 #Republicans, many of whom are pragmatic lawmakers focused on #governing & allies of #SteveScalise. Reps Mariannette Miller-Meeks & Vern Buchanan had both indicated previously that they would support #Jordan for at least 2 round of voting before flipping as they did today.
-
After the early victory of #WhiteSupremacists faltered with wobbly knees of #SteveScalise , the #pedophilia enabler caucus of #BananaRepublicans will put #JimJordan forward as #Speaker nominee for a full House vote tomorrow. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2023/10/13/1205734675/house-speaker-vote-news
Democrats are planning to simply laugh at the expected #ClownCarousel of votes that come up shorter than #GymJordan. 😂
-
#JimJordan faces opposition from 10-20 House #Republicans in his bid for House Speaker, largely due to frustrations over the treatment of #SteveScalise and the ouster of former Speaker #KevinMcCarthy. If Jordan fails, #PatrickMcHenry may emerge as an alternative, possibly assuming a bigger role or even the speakership.

#MikeRogers is unwilling to support #JimJordan for #SpeakerOfTheHouse, indicating a willingness to collaborate with #Democrats instead. While Jordan won the #GOP's second secret-ballot speaker contest, Rogers hints that neither Jordan nor #SteveScalise could secure the position without Democratic votes, amidst a broader GOP discord over #KevinMcCarthy's successor.

#MikeRogers labeled eight Republicans as "traitors" for aiding in ousting former Speaker #KevinMcCarthy. Rogers believes neither #SteveScalise nor #JimJordan can reach the 217 votes required for the speaker's position, implying a need for Democratic support.
