The U.S. is set to vote on a Republican-led health care bill this week after two proposals failed in the Senate last week. Affordable Care Act subsidies are set to expire Dec. 31.

Washington

Lawmakers are facing a deadline as Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which help lower health care costs for millions of Americans, are set to expire at the end of the month. The Senate recently failed to pass a health care plan, and the House is now preparing to vote on a Republican-led bill that does not include an extension of these subsidies, a key point of contention between parties.

The proposed House bill aims to expand access for small businesses to shared health care plans and seeks to lower drug prices by introducing new checks for pharmacies. While there is some discussion of amending the bill to include ACA subsidies, Democrats are pushing for a clean, three-year extension without additional reforms. With a 60-vote threshold in the Senate and insufficient support, the likelihood of any bill passing before the subsidies expire remains low.

House set to vote on GOP health care bill

Time is running out for lawmakers to reach a deal on health care. Affordable Care Act subsidies Which help lower costs for millions of Americans are currently set to expire at the end of the month The Senate failed to pass a health care plan from either party last week and now it is the house's turn to take up proposals CBS News congressional reporter Torian small joins me now from Capitol Hill to talk about it So the house is set to vote on this Republican-led bill this week break down What's in the package Torian and the prospect of it passing? Yeah, so this is a bill that Leadership has been pushing. That's how speaker Mike Johnson Notably, I want to start with what everyone will be talking about It does not include an extension of those ACA subsidies something that Democrats have been pushing for the biggest debate in the Senate We've seen so far, but this does address What speaker Johnson is saying an overhaul to the health care system. It would expand Accessibility for small businesses to band together to get shared health care plans. It would also Look to provide checks and balances to pharmacies So the aim there is at lowering drug prices But there is still an appetite to expand those kovat error tax credits We heard from the speaker before he left for the weekend break He said that there could be an amendment that happens that would include those subsidies The question though is whether or not Democrats would be willing to support this because they've been asking for a clean Extension that would be for three years without any other reforms That's something that Republicans say they're just not willing to do at least on the house side Vlad Even if a health care plan passes though Jonathan, of course It would have to pass the Senate before lawmakers leave for the holidays. Is that even feasible? Yeah, I mean the numbers just aren't there right now We've seen before in the past there have been a few defections and Democrats looking to get just something done Of course There are quite a few moderate Democrats who have been hearing from their constituents saying that they need to act they can't just accept Perfect as the only answer but again with that 60 vote threshold. It's going to be hard to Entertain any possibility of a house bill moving out of that chamber to the Senate and passage without any Measure addressing those expiring tax subsidies. All right, Torian small for us on the Hill this morning. Thank you Torian
