Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) said his party will “get killed” in the 2026 midterms if it does not address rising health care costs.
“We need to deal with [health care] now because, number one, it’s the right thing to do, just morally,” Van Drew said Friday on Fox Business’s “Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street.” “Number two, we’re going to get killed [in 2026].”

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Thursday he would not offer Democrats a House vote on extending expiring enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies as part of a deal to end the government shutdown.

Moderate House Dems, GOP release ‘principles’ for ObamaCare subsidy extension
A quartet of bipartisan House lawmakers on Monday proposed a framework to temporarily extend ObamaCare’s enhanced tax credits that includes a sunset period and an income cap for high earners.
The “statement of principles” from centrist Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) represents the only public proposal from either side to address the subsidies since the government shut down more than a month ago.

Expiring subsidies in the Obama-era bill have been at the forefront of Democrats' challenge to the House-passed continuing resolution that would reopen the government after funding lapsed more than a month ago.
In an interview Friday with comedian and ho...
