"SNIP.............

A “discussion draft” of the secret Senate Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, cuts Medicaid worse than the bill that passed the House of Representatives.

The Washington Post reports that the “Senate bill would go farther than the House version in its approach to cutting Medicaid spending.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will present the bill, written behind closed doors, to the Republican Senate Conference at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

The Washington Post also reports the bill will, “roll back the ACA’s taxes, phase down its Medicaid expansion, rejigger its subsidies, give states wider latitude in opting out of its regulations and eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.”
