“Obamacare premiums are set to spike for tens of millions of Americans next month. Plenty of rank-and-file Republicans are happy to sit back and ride it out,” Politico reports.
“Some vulnerable GOP lawmakers up for reelection are scrambling for a last-minute fix to renew the enhanced federal health care subsidies keeping costs down. But even if party leaders and President Donald Trump were to rally around a plan in the coming days — and there’s no sign of that happening — many conservatives are likely to revolt.”
Said GOP strategist Stan Barnes: “No one wants a primary challenge where the accusation is, ‘You supported Obamacare.’”
Washington Post: Health insurance costs could spike, as bipartisan ACA deal looks less likely.
