Vulnerable House Republicans are worried that Obamacare subsidies set to expire in December may dent their midterm chances and are introducing a bill, together with moderate Democrats, that would extend the tax credits for a year, Punchbowl News reports.

But at this point, Republican party leaders seem less than eager about extending these subsidies.

2. I bet one year extension will pass. Democrats can ask for 10 years or indefinite, but I'm for protecting the several

million who will likely drop their ACA plan if enhanced subsidies are revoked.

If we do well in midterms, we can protect ACA and other safetynet programs.

It’s the “Mommy factor” in Democrat’s DNA. They constantly want to jump in and “help.”

This is an anvil around the necks of REPUBLICAN’S about to be pushed into the deep!!! Democrat’s job is to point that out. “This is what you get when you vote Republican.”

To paraphrase a well-known maxim:

“Never interrupt your enemy while he’s committing suicide.”

Addendum: “Especially before an election.”
