For months, the Republican Party has been deeply divided over whether to advance a second reconciliation bill. According to U.S. media reports, some grassroots conservative members of the House and Senate are privately discussing incorporating tariff revenues as a key component of the bill, directly distributing cash to taxpayers to alleviate potential increases in healthcare costs after subsidies under the Affordable Care Act expire on December 31. This idea is intensifying internal tensions. The push from the right wing is gradually overshadowing the cautious stance of several senior Republicans who are concerned about financial risks, policy sustainability, and political consequences. However, conservatives argue that if the Republican Party does not take more visible measures in response to the withdrawal of subsidies and rising voter cost pressures, the political costs would also be unacceptable.
