Four House Republicans joined Democrats to sign a discharge petition to force a vote on an amendment extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he won't call for an amendment vote to renew enhanced subsidies for the Affordable Care Act.

The coming vote is an embarrassing rebuke to the House speaker, who opposes Obamacare and its enhanced tax credits.

Stunning move comes after House Republicans pushed ahead with bill that doesn’t address soaring premiums if Affordable Care Act tax credits expire

Four House Republicans joined Democrats to sign a discharge petition to force a vote on an amendment extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Democrats push vote on extension of healthcare subsidies that millions of people rely on for coverage.

“Nothing has changed with House Republican leadership, but something has changed within their own ranks,” said Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar.
