Senate Republicans Push for Significant Changes to Medicaid Amid Controversy
As the voting marathon approaches, Senator Rick Scott has drafted a crucial amendment aimed at transforming Medicaid, while GOP senators have announced plans to cut funding by $313 billion. A surprise vote concerning the expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare has been organized, raising alarms among advocates. Additionally, a crack down on immigrant health coverage is prompting fears of a legal battle. The proposed reconciliation bill threatens North Carolina’s Medicaid expansion and disproportionately targets immigrant families with legal status. Experts argue that the Medicaid penalty included in the legislation may be financially unsustainable for states like Delaware.
