Nine House Republicans voted on Wednesday to compel the lower chamber to vote on a Democratic bill to revive ObamaCare subsidies after they expired at the start of the new year.
Republican Reps. Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Nicolas LaLota (N.Y.) Robert Bresnahan (Penn.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Penn.), Ryan Mackenzie (Penn.), María Elvira Salazar (Fla.), Max Miller (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Thomas Kean (N.J.) voted with all 212 House Democrats.
The House will vote on final passage on Thursday.
The bill is not expected to pass in the Senate, but a bipartisan group of senators is working on a compromise bill that would still extend subsidies, Politico reported. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said the bill text could be released as early as Monday.
