💨 Abstract

Republican leaders face increasing pressure to extend funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to prevent millions of Americans from losing healthcare coverage and to avoid rising insurance premiums. However, conservative opposition to "Obamacare" poses a significant challenge. Although some Republicans, like Representatives Jason Smith and Brian Fitzpatrick, are considering maintaining subsidies, others, like Representatives Andy Harris and Senator Ron Johnson, oppose it due to high costs.
