Speaker Mike Johnson has told the White House that most House Republicans have little interest in extending the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, sources familiar with the conversation told CBS News.

Johnson delivered the message in a phone call with senior administration officials as President Trump’s advisers were drafting a plan to continue the subsidies for an additional two years. That plan that was initially expected to emerge this week.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Johnson’s warning to the White House regarding the lack of GOP House support for the plan. Any White House health care plan would require overwhelming Republican support in the House to be enacted.

    Poor people without medical care are more likely to end up jobless and homeless, and therefore eligible for the concentration camps they want to build.
