Welp. Senate version of the #MAGAMurderBill would slash Medicaid even MORE.

via Politico: Senate GOP tax bill would hit politically explosive Medicaid provision The Finance Committee is due to brief members on its megabill draft text Monday night. Senate Republicans are seeking to ratchet up savings from a politically explosive policy within Medicaid to pay for their megabill, and it’s already setting off shockwaves through Capitol Hill. The Senate Finance Committee’s forthcoming portion of the party-line tax and spending package would lower the Medicaid provider tax to 3.5 percent, according to three people with direct knowledge of the legislation who were granted anonymity to discuss it. That would be a huge departure from the House-passed bill, which would put a moratorium on states’ ability to raise their provider tax beyond the current 6 percent. It’s also likely to spark fierce pushback from a coalition of GOP senators who were already worried that the freeze would negatively impact rural hospitals in their states. Republicans are expecting the forthcoming Medicaid language will have to be further negotiated. “Hell no,” said one moderate House Republican who was granted anonymity to react candidly to the Senate proposal.
