"Republicans say they have been inundated with calls and emails from constituents sharing their stories of how annual premiums could jump by tens of thousands of dollars in the new year.

"The potential sticker shock is particularly acute in swing districts where marketplace enrollment is high and household budgets are already strained. Several of the Republicans pushing for a deal represent such areas and face difficult re-election races.

During the recent shutdown fight, the group wrote to Mr. Johnson urging him to pivot “immediately” to the expiring A.C.A. subsidies once the government reopened. In the letter last month, the group warned that letting the tax credits lapse “would risk real harm” to families in their districts, and said Republicans must “chart a conservative path” to prevent steep premium spikes."
