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.

Senate Republicans and Democrats took turns sinking each other’s proposals to address the looming expiration of health insurance subsidies for many working-class citizens, seemingly ensuring a spike in costs and a drop in coverage within weeks.

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.

In about 22 days, a large portion of government health care subsidies expire, affecting the cost and availability of insurance for no less than millions of people. And yet, Congress is set to leave Washington in two weeks.

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.

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 Senate will vote on a Republican-led proposal and a Democratic-led one — but it's unclear if either have the support to pass.

The chamber also blocked a Republican bill to give Americans up to $1,500 to spend on health care instead of extending the subsidies.
