House Republicans on Wednesday approved a narrow package designed to lower health care costs for some Americans in the coming years – marking a win for leadership even as some of their own members complain it falls woefully short of tackling rising prices in 2026.

Four House Republicans broke ranks with their leadership to force a vote on a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.

Two local Republicans are among the four GOP House members who have broken party lines to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The House passed a sweeping healthcare bill on Wednesday, a vote that split mostly along party lines as Democrats and some Republicans express concern the legislation lets enhanced Obamacare subsidies expire at the end of the year.

An expanded U.S. federal health care subsidy that grew out of the pandemic looked all but certain to expire on Dec. 31.
