No ACA premium supports. I don’t know all the details yet, and I don’t know if it will pass the House.
Whatever else is in the deal, agreeing to merely have a vote on ACA is a fig leaf. Even if it passes the Senate, it won't in the House, which also makes it an easy yes vote for the Senate Rs who might want to, defusing it as an attack on them.It is a stupid ask even on Team Schumer's own terms.

Our offer is you don't give us our one singular demand we've insisted on this whole time, and also we'll make it easier for your most vulnerable members to say they voted for it anyway, so they can say that when we try to attack them over it. Brilliant strategy, guys.

Letting them have a vote like that is, from the Dem tactical perspective, worse than both actually getting the ACA extension but also simply failing to get it. There's no benefit in letting some Rs off the hook with a "well I voted for it" on a purely performative gesture.

ACA premium support. That's it.
