Four Republicans join Democrats to force House vote on extending health insurance subsidies

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyG48cbH4SA]

Four Republicans signed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits. CBS News' Caitlin Huey-Burns has the latest from Capitol Hill.

Brian Fitzpatrick, Robert Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie, all Republican representatives from Pennsylvania, and Mike Lawler of New York signed on to the petition Wednesday morning, pushing it to the magic number of 218. A vote on the subsidy bill could come as soon as January under House rules.

From what I've read it's a watered down version. I hope they get it passed though. The right have never addressed healthcare. Medicare wouldn't exist if it were up to them.
@MoveAlong Mind-blowing to me, considering how many seniors who require care also vote Republican.

Heaven forbid we get a vote sooner....like today!

The next date for a government shut down is January 31.
