President Donald Trump appears to have a health care plan — one he teased during the debates — but pushback from some Republican lawmakers has stalled its rollout.
Reports indicated the plan would be announced this week. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson was reportedly part of the opposition to Trump’s proposal, which included a two-year extension of certain Affordable Care Act tax credits. That same extension has been the focus of Democratic-led legislation on Capitol Hill, though efforts have not yet succeeded.
Currently, a petition in the House seeks to force a vote on the ACA tax credit extension. However, support within the Republican conference appears fractured.
"We need a longer-term plan because health care is unaffordable," Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon told Scripps News. "
