Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' faces setback as Senate rules knock out key Medicaid provisions
In the “Great, Beautiful Invoice” version of the Senate Republicans, a controversial change in Medicaid provider tax rate was transferred by the Senate rules.
The Senate Budget Committee Democrats announced on Thursday that Senate Parliamentary Elizabeth Macdonough opposed Medicaid in a series of basic provisions, including subtle adjustments divided in the upper room, in the enormous bill of President Donald Trump.

Indeed, Macdonough decided that the harder Medicaid -provider tax rate pressure in the Senate’s version of the Senate did not comply with the Byrd rule, which provides railings for the budget agreement process.
Since they have illegal immigrants in Medicaid’s benefits of benefits, refusing the Medicaid financing, preventing the participation of illegal immigrants in Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Medicaid and Chip funds, as well as the support of the Medicaid and Chip financing, the support of the republican and the support of the Masam.
The Senate Democrats promised to give the Republicans as much as possible through the “Byrd Bath”, where the provisions passed through the line to see if they obey the Byrd rule.

Senate Finance Committee Member Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.
“The Democrats continue to sue against every major, beautiful betrayal of a bill that violates the rules of the Senate and hurts families and workers.” Merkley said in a statement. He said. “The Democrats are fighting against the plans of kicking people with disabilities to finance tax reductions for billionaires, all of the Republicans’ encouragement of the Republicans to encourage Medicaid, to dismantle the appropriate Care Law and to finance tax reductions for billionaires.”
The changes in the provider tax rate of the Senate Finance Committee have been full of the version of the bill of Parliament GOP. The Senate Republicans went further than the freezing of the Parliament or the amount that Medicaid programs paid to health service providers on behalf of Medicaid beneficiaries, and for the expansion of the inappropriate maintenance law, until they reached 3.5%, it included a provision that reduces the rate in their expansion.
A few provisions cannot meet with Senate rules in ‘big, beautiful Bill’
These changes angered a handful of Republican like Susan Collins, R-Main and Josh Hawley, who warned not to revise in the health program that could close rural hospitals and start working Americans from their benefits.
Parliament argued that “the ability to tax on healthcare providers of the latest states will seriously limit the ability to provide health services to millions of Americans dependent on Medicaid for the care of states.”
In order for the Senate Republicans to jump the agenda of the President through the Senate through the Threshold of 51 votes, the provisions within the bill must comply with the Byrd rule, which requires policy changes should have a budget and expenditure effect.
The news about the abolition of the provision emerges when deputies make a possible correction on the pressure of a stability fund for rural hospitals. A proposal by the Senate Finance Committee will launch a fund that distributes a total of $ 15 billion to the applicants for the program for the next five financial years.
