Speaker Johnson Exposes ‘Poison Pill’ Dems Tried to Sneak Into Bill

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told Newsmax on Monday that once the government shutdown ends, House Republicans are readying ideas to tackle rising healthcare costs.

The House on Sept. 19 passed a clean continuing resolution 217-212 that would fund the federal government through Nov. 21, but the measure quickly stalled in the Senate amid a broader fight over Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The pandemic-era subsidies, which were created by Democrats, are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, the outlet reported.
