Senate releases Trump tax and Medicaid blueprint • What's in the Senate version • Child tax credit could change • scales back additional tax cuts • Bill could limit proposed tax break: overtime pay would be deductible up to $12,500 or $25,000 for joint filers through 2028, saving taxpayers $124 billion
Senate GOP take bigger swing at Medicaid • Senate eyes major shake-up to Medicaid • Thune on Medicaid reforms: Between 2019 and 2023, Medicaid spending grew by more than 50 percent • Bill would remove people who should not be on the rolls: illegal immigrants and other noncitizens, able-bodied adults who can work but refuse to work, and individuals who don't qualify for the program. • rein in Federal spending to States that choose to direct scarce State dollars to illegal immigrants • work requirements for able-bodied, working-aged adults • overturning Biden-era regulations that made it difficult to remove individuals who do not qualify for the program — Precedent: California is looking to freeze the enrollment of illegal immigrants in its Medicaid Program and charge premiums for illegal immigrants already enrolled — Closing the provider tax loophole which allows States to inflate Medicaid service prices in order to garner a larger reimbursement from the Federal Government — Precedent: President Obama, released multiple budgets featuring measures to rein in abuse of the provider tax • Schumer: This bill is just repeal and replace by another name (Editor's note: This makes sense because the 2010 ACA (ObamaCare) law was mostly a Medicaid expansion bill, and this 2025 budget reconciliation bill is adding real accountability to Medicaid.) • Senate version reforms Medicaid • States would have until the end of 2026 to implement Medicaid work requirements • Senate leader aggressively woos Medicaid holdouts: Republican sources familiar with the negotiations say they expect Senate leaders and the holdouts to work out some sort of deal to provide direct financial assistance to rural hospitals • Senate mulls shielding rural hospitals from Medicaid cuts • Ivy League Researchers Scaremonger About Republican Health Policy
