Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee released their portion of the massive bill for President Donald Trump\u2019s domestic agenda on Monday, with some significant changes compared with the House-passed package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 549-page bill extends the expiring Trump tax cuts and includes provisions to slash taxes on tips and overtime pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It contains a slew of Medicaid spending cuts and new rules, including work requirements that would kick in at the end of 2026, like the House bill. It also contains policies to force more frequent checks on eligibility and tougher screenings to prove lawful immigration status, in order for people to keep their coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Medicaid change is more aggressive than the House bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe House bill placed a moratorium on taxes on providers that help states fund their Medicaid programs and increase payments to providers for services they provide. The Senate bill goes further, limiting the provider taxes that many states already have in place, but only in states that have expanded Medicaid under the ACA,\u201d said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, a research group. \u201cThere were expectations that the Senate might moderate the Medicaid cuts passed by the House, but if anything they\u2019re doubling down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has been critical of that idea, saying it could hurt rural hospitals in his state. \u201cThat\u2019s not good,\u201d he said when asked about the Senate provision. \u201cIt sounds to me like this needs some work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a major challenge to House Republicans, the Senate bill caps federal deductions for state and local taxes at $10,000 per tax filer, preserving the status quo on \u201cSALT.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s much lower than the $40,000 limit per filers with annual incomes under $500,000 that a key group of blue-state Republicans secured in the House version, after making clear it is essential to winning their vote in the narrowly divided chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvidently, we\u2019re just putting down a marker for negotiation,\u201d said Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., who added that he hopes the House-Senate SALT compromise will be a $20,000 cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., slammed the $10,000 cap on X, calling it \u201cDEAD ON ARRIVAL.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate\u2019s bill also includes changes to Medicare including new eligibility rules, including verification of citizenship or lawful permanent residency for older adults to keep getting benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another provision that’s also in the House bill would adjust cost-sharing rules for \u201cdual eligibles\u201d on both Medicare and Medicaid. Loren Adler, a health policy expert at the Brookings Institution, said that provision \u201cmeans 1.3 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries see higher premiums and\/or cost-sharing, no longer receiving financial assistance they\u2019re eligible for,\u201d citing an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cramer said the Medicare changes are \u201clow-hanging fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate bill also swiftly repeals clean energy funding passed by a Democratic-led Congress in 2022, including an electric vehicle tax credit, while tilting the playing field back toward fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI look forward to continued coordination with our colleagues in the House and the Administration to deliver President Trump\u2019s bold economic agenda for the American people as quickly as possible,\u201d Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, the chairman of the Finance Committee, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Republicans are hoping to pass the broader domestic policy package by July 4, with the goal of sending it to Trump\u2019s desk by the end of next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the ranking member of the Finance Committee, vowed that \u201cSenate Democrats are going to fight this with everything we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe House Republican version of this bill was already a class war, but Senate Republicans decided to inflict even more devastation on the lives of working Americans to give even larger handouts to the top,\u201d Wyden said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
