tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

The House passed the Republican health care bill Speaker Mike Johnson backed; it did not extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Left-leaning outlets frame the bill as a threat to families, stressing that the expiring credits could raise premiums and presenting an extension as relief. Center outlets mostly report the bill and subsidy dispute, though Nola emphasizes Johnson's opposition to an extension and Republican defections. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the GOP's cost-cutting case and Johnson's victory, while one article instead focuses on his video accusing Democrats of misleading the public about eligibility.
