White House weighs risks of a health care fight as ACA subsidies set to expire [View all]

The White House is wary that the current debate around health care subsidies could go the way of Republicans’ failure to repeal Obamacare that fueled Democrats’ return to power in 2018.

If only it were that simple.

The administration is also contending with differing opinions over the political ramifications of the subsidies expiring, the question of whether President Donald Trump’s engagement might be unproductive on the Hill and the reality that Trump, behind the scenes, likely knows something must be done to prevent the premium spike some Americans would see.

As congressional Republicans duke out their intraparty divisions on how to address the expiration of some Affordable Care Act subsidies, administration officials don’t believe Trump should engage — more than he already has. That’s because they’re fearful of the president getting yoked into a messy health care fight, according to two people close to the White House and another person familiar with health care conversations between the White House and the Hill, granted anonymity to discuss them.

If he honestly gave a shit he'd have something ready.
