The Trump bill reaches the finish line

Host

Early on Thursday afternoon, the House of Representatives approved a budget reconciliation bill, which will not only make many tax cuts of President Donald Trump 2017, but also imposes deep discounts on Medicaid, and the law of welfare at reasonable prices, indirectly.

Meanwhile, those appointed by the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services used Robert F. Kennedy Junior is a major consultant committee for their first vaccine to receive doubts on a portfolio used in influenza vaccines for decades – with studies that no evidence of damage to low doses.

The members of this week’s team are Jolly Rovner from KFF Health News, Alice Miranda Olstein of Politico, Maya Goldman of Axios and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet.

Among the fast food from this week’s episode:

• The Republican Party has collected a major contract for the social safety network in the country, prompting the Trump bill for spending and spending. The legislation contains major changes in the way Medicaid is funded and delivered – in particular, by imposing the first federal work requirements for the program on many registrants. Hospitals say the changes will be devastating, which may lead to the loss of services and facilities that can touch all patients, not only those in Medicaid.
• Some of the proposals received in the Trump Bill were dropped while looking at the Senate, including a ban on the coverage of medical aid to care for the assurance of both sexes and federal financing discounts for states that use their medical funds to cover migrants without legal status. Despite all the talk about not touching Medicare, it is expected that the implications of the legislation on the deficit will lead to spending discounts on the program that covers those who number more than 65 years and some of them with disabilities – perhaps once the next fiscal year.
• The newly formed advisory committee met about fortification practices last week, and the matter appeared completely different from previous meetings: in addition to new members, there were fewer employees racing from the centers of control and prevention control – and the remarkable presence of vaccine critics. The committee vote to reflect the recommendation of influenza shots that contain preservative materials based in mercury-in addition to its plans to review the childhood vaccine schedule-to what will come.

In addition, for “additional credit”, the committee members suggest the health policy stories they read this week and which they believe should also read:
