House GOP members rolled out a large batch of changes to their American Health Care Act, the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
The seven-page manager's amendment adds a number of key provisions to the AHCA designed to shore up support for the bill.
The move comes as House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP leaders, and President Donald Trump's administration try and lock down the necessary votes for the bill to pass the House.
On the one side, the changes will shorten the timeline for the repeal of certain Obamacare provisions, pleasing conservatives.
Here's a rundown of the key changes:
Move up the date of the Obamacare taxes repeal. Taxes that help fund the credits — on everything to healthcare executives making over $500,000 to tanning beds — would be repealed a year ahead of the current AHCA timeframe, 2017 instead of 2018. This appears to be an appeal to conservative House Republicans who say that the law does not go far enough or quickly enough in its repeal of Obamacare.
Allow states to create work requirements for Medicaid. While 77% of Medicaid beneficiaries are in households with a worker, Republicans have desired a provision that would allow states to mandate non-disabled people would have to be working in order to qualify for Medicaid. Additionally, the new amendment would also increase the federal assistance for any state that institutes a work requirement by 5%.
The only federally mandated exemptions of any Medicaid employment rule are people under age 19, heads of households under 20 who are in school or job training, pregnant women, single parents or caregivers of children under 6 years old. States can, in addition, add their own exemptions
Allow states to shift Medicaid funding to a block grant system. The current AHCA shifts funding for Medicaid expansion to per capita block grants, but the new provision would allow states to shift their funding for Medicaid to a simple block grant.
According to a press release by GOP leaders in charge of the amendment, it will also give the Senate the ability to expand tax credits for older Americans age 50 to 64.
"This change provides the Senate flexibility to potentially enhance the tax credit for those ages 50 to 64 who may need additional assistance," said a press release from the GOP leaders of the Energy & Commerce and Ways & Means committees.
According to the summary of the technical changes of the amendment, the tax credit section of the AHCA would be eliminated "to accommodate the technical restructuring of the new tax credit made as a result of Senate guidance to maintain the privilege of the bill."
At the same time, the amendment would lower the threshold for a tax deduction on medical expenses from the current 10% to 5.8%. The Congressional Budget Office would most likely score this as a savings of $75 billion to $85 billion.
Politico reported earlier on Monday that this relief for older Americans would come in a the form of a $75 billion pool of additional tax credits, but that exact provision does not appear in the actual amendment. According to analysts, however, the savings from the tax exemption could be shifted in the Senate to make this happen, but it is not guaranteed.
The current flat-tax credit structure of the AHCA gives 50 to 59 year olds $3,500 annually to help pay for insurance and people 60 years old and above $4,000 annually. Analysis by health policy experts have shown this would lead to a significant increase in premiums costs compared to the Affordable Care Act's current tax credits.
The moves come as Trump's White House tries to wrangle conservative votes in the House and Ryan tried to convince moderate Republicans to get on board.
Mark Meadows, the head of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said before the package of changes that he had enough votes to block the law.
The House Rules Committee will consider the AHCA on Wednesday and a full vote on the bill is expected in the House on Thursday.
President Donald Trump speaks on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Saturday, Jan.28, 2017, in the Oval office at the White House int Sashington.
President Donald Trump reached out to former US Attorney Preet Bharara one day before Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked for Bharara's resignation, along with 45 other US attorneys who had been appointed by President Barack Obama.
The New York Times reported late Saturday night that an aide to President Trump had called Bharara's office on Thursday, but that Bharara had not responded because of protocols "governing a president’s direct contact with federal prosecutors."
Bharara notified Sessions' office of the president's call and then called Trump's aide back to let them know he could not respond because of those protocols. One day later, Bharara was asked to resign. He refused, and was fired on Saturday.
"The President reached out to Preet Bharara on Thursday to thank him for his service and to wish him good luck," a White House official who was not authorized to speak on the record told Business Insider on Sunday.
Matt Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman andtop aide to Attorney General Eric Holder, said that the call "still means the president was either unaware of the prohibitions on contacts between the White House and DOJ officials, or he ignored them, and either is an indictment of [White House Counsel] Don McGahn."
On Thursday, moreover, the day Trump reached out to Bharara, Sessions held a call with all the US attorneys across the country and wished them 'happy hunting' on cases, Miller said, indicating that Trump "had decided to fire all of them on Thursday but hadn't bothered to tell their own attorney general."
The Department of Justice declined to comment.
United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara speaks
during a news conference on the extradition of suspected international
arms dealer Viktor Bout to New York from Thailand,
in New York November 17, 2010.
In his seven years as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Bharara earned a reputation as the "sheriff of Wall Street" for his high-profile prosecutions of white-collar crime. Trump Tower, and therefore the Trump Organization, fell within Bharara's jurisdiction of Manhattan.
While it is standard practice for a new administration to ask all US attorneys held over from the previous administration to resign, Bharara, who was appointed by Obama in 2009, had been assured by Trump after he won the election that he would be allowed to stay on as US attorney.
Trump had reportedly asked Bharara to stay as a gesture to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York. Bharara had been Schumer's chief counsel before he was appointed US attorney.
Bharara released a statement on Saturday, first via Twitter and then in an official capacity, clarifying that he had not resigned but was fired.
"Serving my country as U.S. Attorney here for the past seven years will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life, no matter what else I do or how long I live," Bharara said. "One hallmark of justice is absolute independence, and that was my touchstone every day that I served."
