House Minority Leader Jeffries says the vote will extend ACA subsidies for three years to prevent premium hikes for 22 million Americans, despite Speaker Johnson's opposition.

- Jeffries said the extension would protect at least 22 million Americans and will put pressure on Senate Republicans to pass the ACA tax credits, with Democrats warning they will use failure to act against Republicans in next year's midterms.
- Democrats say they will focus relentlessly on lowering costs, pledging to address high living expenses and Medicaid cuts enacted by Republicans throughout the year, while Pat Ryan, U.S. Rep. , highlights affordable health care as a top voter issue.
