Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks introduced a Republican healthcare bill and said she expects it to pass the House. Rep. Randy Feenstra also expressed optimism as the bill awaited a vote.
The article says Affordable Care Act tax credits are set to expire at year’s end and that millions could lose access to care if lawmakers do not find a solution.
