As promised, the Senate Republican leadership released earlier today the text of the healthcare legislation that was being worked on by a small group of Republican Senators. The 142-page bill has a number of provisions of importance to the University of Washington and other institutions of higher education, including those related to possible changes to Medicaid.
This bill is an attempt by Senate Republicans to craft its own legislation in response to the House’s version of a bill to “repeal-and-replace” Obamacare. At this point in time, the future of the measure remains uncertain as a number of Republican Senators have expressed their opposition to it in its current form.
The text of the measure is available here.
