These guys KNOW what they're doing is wildly unpopular. Their constituents have been screaming at them at town hall meetings, and I'm sure in emails & phone calls. They know what will happen when the subsidies expire. They know how much this will hurt and infuriate not only Dems, but their rethug supporters. And they don't care. Holy Mike will never be able to convince anyone they really tried to find a way to extend the subsidies. They've been trying to destroy the ACA since it started...this will be their pathway.
So either there are some rethugs who have finally discovered a conscious, and are willing to give up their cushy seat in the House, but don't want their families and lives threatened by openly defying that maniac and having his crazy minions show up at their house, OR (and this is the scary part for me) they already know the fix is in, just like 2024, and they have nothing to worry about when the election rolls around...the machines are already programmed to make sure they win. Remember that somehow Trump won all the swing states.
Also, remember Musk said the quiet part out loud...if it weren't for him, Trump would have lost, and both the House and Senate would be in Democratic hands. And I don't think he was referring to the financial contributions.
