“The Senate parliamentarian just struck a massive blow to Republicans' Medicaid cuts, per announcement from Senate Budget Dems,” posted Weiss. “NOT compliant w/ Byrd Rule (meaning they need to be stripped or overrule (the parliamentarian): -provider tax crackdown (!!!) -limiting fed $ for states that allow undocumented immigrants to get Medicaid -additional limits on Medicaid, Medicare & ACA premium tax credits for immigrants who aren't citizens. (Parliamentarian) still reviewing MUCH MORE of Finance Committee's health text.”
