💨 Abstract

The Senate decisively passed a significant bill featuring tax breaks and spending cuts proposed by President Donald Trump. Republican leaders implemented several last-minute changes to secure more votes, including doubling the rural hospital fund to $50 billion. Notable modifications involve Medicaid provisions. The bill removes the penalty for states covering undocumented immigrants and eliminates restrictions on gender affirming healthcare. The bill also amends the provider tax measure and postpone error payment contributions from states.
