There's no guarantee of a subsidy vote in the House, and no guarantee of it being signed into law.

*This* is precisely why folks loathe our party. Our national leadership especially talks out of both sides of its mouth, acts like it cares for a bit, then buckles in exchange for *nothing* of value.
