The CBO's analysis of the House's bill, the American Health Care Act, contained a virtually identical passage. Those are subsidies that reimburse insurers to help low-income marketplace customers afford health care, on top of the tax credits that help those people pay their premiums. Obamacare isn't "imploding," but insurers are shakenRecent analyses from multiple organizations (including the Department of Health and Human Services itself) show that the exchanges aren't imploding; in fact, they're relatively stable. Every month, the Trump administration faces a deadline to pay what are called "cost-sharing reduction" (or CSR) subsidies to insurers. Trump reportedly wants to end the payments, as Politico reported, but the White House chose this week to continue the payments once again.
With Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran and Utah Sen. Mike Lee announcing jointly Monday night that they would not support a procedural motion to take up the Senate
health insurance bill, Senate Republicans don't have the 50 members they need to move forward. Everyone assumes the Senate bill is the final version of this legislation — most experts expected the House to pass whatever the Senate came up with. Other Republicans have expressed reservations about the Senate bill, including West Virginia's Shelley Moore Capito, Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Ohio's Rob Portman. I'm struggling to come up with a third reason why the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare will ultimately succeed. So this looks like the end of Obamacare repeal — for now.
