There is a certain brilliance to the angry old youtuber's idea:

Say it works, you force Nancy to make a vote, and the house doesn't pass it. Now you have forced everyone who opposes M4A into the open and they can get primaried.

Say it doesn't, Nancy refuses to make the vote and she doesn't get to be speaker. Congrats! You've just removed a major obstacle to passing M4A!

There is literally no downside to this move.


Who are the nine other votes that are defecting with her to make this possible?

 Didn't the ACA provide blunting of rising insurance prices for the first time in ten years?

Nope.
Your chart shows two red bars of roughly equal height between 10 and 11, suggesting "yup" (for employer insurance).

The next year's gains more than make up for it. So, in the short-term view of "this year ONLY", then yeah. Otherwise, the pattern continued largely unabated.

Not in the chart you posted.
