US EditionSpeaker Johnson Warns White House GOP Is Wary of Trump’s Healthcare Push
Speaker Mike Johnson alerted the White House that most House Republicans oppose extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire, complicating health plan negotiations.
- Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson told the White House by phone that most House Republicans have little interest in extending the ACA's enhanced subsidies, while President Trump's advisers draft a two‑year subsidy extension plan expected this week.
- The enhanced subsidies were at the heart of the government shutdown funding fight, which ended earlier this month after GOP Senate leadership promised a December vote.
- If allowed to expire, an estimated 4 million Americans would lose coverage, and premiums would more than double for about 22 million Americans shopping for 2026 ACA health insurance plans.
- President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he does not want to extend Obamacare subsidies but indicated a short-term subsidy measure might be possible, while White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said he is holding ongoing conversations with officials and experts.
- That plan was expected to emerge this week as advisers drafted options for a two‑year extension, a group of eight Democrats secured a commitment to a vote within a month, and GOP leaders insisted they wouldn't negotiate until after the shutdown ended.
