House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will not allow vote this week to extend Obamacare subsidies

Key tax credits that reduce the cost of Affordable Care Act health insurance coverage for millions of Americans looked likely to expire by the end of the year after House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that there would be no vote on extending those subsidies this week.

The House is not in session next week, meaning that Johnson was not leaving the door open for a later vote before the boosted Obamacare premium assistance expires.

There remains a chance that enough Republicans in Johnson's majority caucus agree to back a Democrat-led effort to force an effective vote on extending the tax credits.
