House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is accusing U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson of blocking a White House proposal aimed at extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for two more years — a move the administration hoped would prevent major premium hikes for millions of Americans.
Jeffries said the Trump administration appeared ready to advance a plan worth considering, but claimed Speaker Johnson “tanked it” as Congress races against a fast-approaching deadline.
This latest clash adds pressure to ongoing negotiations in Washington, with ACA funding and looming premium increases now at the center of a political standoff.
