The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to restore key subsidies for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly called Obamacare.
The vote was a significant win for Democrats. They secured substantial Republican support for the measure.
However, the bill is considered dead on arrival in the Senate. Political analysts say an election-year compromise is highly unlikely.
The move is seen as a symbolic effort. It forces lawmakers to publicly state their position on the popular health insurance subsidies ahead of the November elections.
