Hawley seeks to repeal Medicaid cuts he voted for

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5402636-hawley-seeks-to-repeal-medicaid-cuts-he-voted-for/

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) wants to repeal parts of the “big, beautiful” law he just voted for.

Hawley on Tuesday introduced new legislation to roll back some of the Medicaid cuts that were included in the massive tax cut law, which passed the Senate two weeks ago and was signed into law by President Trump on July 4.

Hawley’s bill would repeal provisions that limit states’ ability to levy taxes on health providers to receive more money from the federal government. The bill also seeks to repeal a cap on state-directed payments, which allows states to direct how providers are paid by privately run managed care plans.

“Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect,” Hawley said in a statement. “I want to see Medicaid reductions stopped and rural hospitals fully funded permanently,” he added.

Hey, it was a brief "headline" story. Basically the same difference though. mobeau69 Jul 15 #45

No. Trying to do a very narrow rescission bill is not the same as going back ex post facto and saying he wants his Yea Celerity Jul 15 #46
