President Donald Trump said on Jan. 11 that he “might” veto a bill extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, if it reaches his desk.

The comment came days after the House advanced the legislation over the objections of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had blocked any debate on renewing the tax credit subsidies for ACA, also known as Obamacare.
