• The bill now moves to the Senate for its next step.

Seventeen Republican representatives broke ranks and joined Democrat lawmakers to pass a bill bringing back Obamacare subsidies. The vote was 230-196, with the Republican votes making the difference. Now, the legislation heads to the Senate for its next round.

The Republicans who supported the bill are:

California Rep. David Valadao

Colorado Rep. Jeff Hurd

Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar

Iowa Rep. Zachary Nunn

New Jersey Rep. Thomas Kean Jr.

New York Reps. Andrew Gabarino, Nick LaLota, and Mike Lawler

Ohio Reps. Mike Carey, David Joyce, and Max Miller

Many voters may question what these Republicans stand for now, especially when it comes to big government programs.

Keep an eye on the Senate, as this fight is far from over.
