The Senate Finance Committee released a bill that would take significant federal funds away from states with certain programs funded solely with state money that provide comprehensive health coverage to people who are not citizens and do not have a “qualified” immigration status (including many people with a lawful status).

The proposal would salvage some clean-energy tax credits and phase out others more slowly, making up some of the cost by imposing deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House-passed bill would.

Senate Republicans say they are looking for ways to safeguard rural hospitals from proposed cuts to a key Medicaid funding method, amid concerns from the powerful hospital lobby and others that the budget reconciliation bill could force many facilities to close.
