Senate GOP Backs Alternative to Obamacare Subsidies
Liberty Check
Senate Republicans are rallying behind a proposal from Sens. Bill Cassidy and Mike Crapo as the chamber prepares to vote on healthcare subsidies. The vote on Thursday will see competing visions for healthcare, with neither side expected to advance their bills.
- The Republican plan would end Affordable Care Act subsidies as scheduled, shifting those funds into health savings accounts for individual Americans rather than insurance companies.
- The bill restricts Medicaid funding to states, reducing funds for those covering illegal immigrants and requiring verification of citizenship or eligible immigration status before Medicaid access.
- Additional provisions bar federal Medicaid dollars from being used for gender transition services or abortion through the new savings program.
Senator Thune called out Democrats for refusing meaningful reform, emphasizing the need for solutions that truly benefit patients, not insurers.
