How is the college football playoff shaping up this season?
The House is expected to vote today to restore subsidies for people paying for their health insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act. And here's Sam Greenglass reports a bipartisan Senate deal is gaining support.
For weeks, House Republican leadership refused to allow a vote on the subsidies. So four swing district Republicans joined with Democrats to force a vote using a maneuver called a discharge petition. A procedural vote yesterday attracted support from nine Republicans. Boosters of the subsidies have hoped that success in the House would recharge bipartisan negotiations in the Senate.

Here's Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio. So we're in the red zone, but that does not mean a touchdown. It could mean a 95-yard fumble. The emerging Senate deal would extend the subsidies for two years and allow people in the second year to opt for funds in a health savings account instead of a subsidy that goes to the insurer. Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.
