The House on Thursday approved a three‑year extension of enhanced ACA premium tax credits, passing the bill 230–196 after Democrats forced the measure to the floor via a discharge petition and 17 House Republicans broke with leadership to back it. The vote came amid months of brinkmanship over expiring subsidies — including a record shutdown and stalled Senate talks — and followed reports that President Trump privately urged GOP lawmakers to be “a little flexible” on abortion‑related restrictions tied to subsidy negotiations.
