US House DEFIES Trump on Obamacare subsidies: 17 GOP rebels join Dems in shock 230-196 vote

In a stunning revolt against Republican leadership, the U.S. House has passed legislation extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, after a group of GOP lawmakers broke ranks and joined Democrats to force a vote. The move deals a major blow to President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson and reignites the national fight over health care affordability. In a rare show of bipartisan defiance, the U.S. House voted 230 to 196 to extend expired Affordable Care Act health care subsidies, with 17 Republican lawmakers joining every Democrat to pass the bill.
