With the deadline to address expiring ACA tax credits fast approaching, GOP's John Thune announced that two competing health care plans will get a vote later this week.

The Senate is expected to vote on dueling partisan health care proposals as an Obamacare subsidy is set to expire on 31. Meanwhile, a coalition of European leaders are expected to meet to discuss ending the war in Ukraine as US tensions with Venezuela mount.

The House will vote on a health care plan before the end of the year. But a growing number of Republicans worry their party will pay the price for rising insurance premiums.

Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both Arizona Democrats, voted Dec. 11 with their party on a three-year extension of the subsidies, and they both voted against a Republican plan to expand health savings accounts and direct cash payments intended to mitigate the rising cost of insurance.

Congressional Republicans are taking a major political gamble this week, laying out a GOP health care agenda that ignores the soon-to-expire enhanced subsidies that help tens of millions of Americans afford Obamacare — despite pleas from some in their own party.

The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates that a family of four earning $45,000—who currently has access to a $0 premium plan—would face premiums of about $1,600 a year if the credits expire. A 60-year-old couple earning a little over 400 percent of poverty could see their annual premium climb to roughly $22,600, about a quarter of their income.

The President posted that he recently “aced” a cognitive exam and reports that demean him are “perhaps even treasonous.”

Health care bills are going to skyrocket next year after the Senate voted down a bill that would have extended subsidies for the Affordable Care Act on Thursday. The bill needed 60 votes to pass, but only four Republicans broke with their party and voted to extend the subsidies that millions of Americans rely on: Senators Josh Hawley,
