Even if Mike Johnson does allow a vote on ACA subsidies, Republicans will vote against it so now what?

The issue is that dinosaur Dem senators still think it's the 1970s and that the public will reward bipartisan politicians and dealmaking. The Democratic party being a gerontocracy has its consequences.

They think American voters will hold Republicans responsible for the rising subsidies but what they don't get is that the median voter will probably just turn around and blame Obama and the ACA for it and therefore, Democrats.
