This week, House Democrats filed a discharge petition to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years. If Republicans actually care about affordability, they can prove it by signing. This healthcare fight is far from over.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) is criticizing Republican congressional leaders for blocking a vote on extending ACA tax credits, calling it “idiotic” and “political malpractice.” Lawler tells CBS News’ Major Garrett Congress needs to address rising health insurance premiums in the long term, but allowing the Obamacare enhanced subsidies to expire without a floor vote “is foolish.” “This is the height of absurdity. It is precisely why things don't get done in this place, because people would rather the upper hand or the issue or the political win, rather than the hard work of bipartisan compromise,” Lawler adds.

Figures: What were Republicans willing to give in the end? Nothing more than a handshake deal to take a future vote on extending the health care subsidies. We all know that that future vote is the equivalent of asking two wolves and a chicken to vote on what's for dinner. It's dead on arrival.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just blew the lid off the House GOP’s game on insider trading. She says House leadership is actively pressuring her to drop her petition to force a vote on banning stock trades in Congress. “I was told I was ‘putting the republic in jeopardy’… that I’d cost us the midterms.” No, what’s putting the republic in jeopardy is letting lawmakers cash in while the rest of us get crushed. “I got calls saying what we were doing was ‘going to hurt people.’” Yeah, the people making money off defense contracts and pharma stock. Not us. Luna’s trying to force a floor vote with a discharge petition because leadership refuses to act.
