Frustrated GOP barrels toward key health insurance vote without a clear plan [View all]

(The Hill) Some Senate Republicans are expressing frustration that their conference hasn’t been able to unify behind a health care plan ahead of a vote next week on a Democratic proposal to extend health insurance premium subsidies that will expire in January.

Republicans are worried the subsidies, and health insurance and costs more broadly, could become a major issue in the 2026 midterms that — in a worst-case scenario — could cost them the Senate majority.

The GOP has no consensus on how to proceed on the issue, which may spur a group of Republican senators to cross the aisle next week and vote for a Democratic bill to extend the subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
