Two senators offer ANOTHER option

The day the U.S. Senate released its bill to overhaul the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced an alternative. Under the proposal, federal dollars now spent on ACA insurance would be block granted to states. The funds could be distributed as tax credits, subsidies and other ways the states see fit. The individual and employer mandates would be repealed, and pre-existing conditions would be covered. Most ACA taxes would remain. Medicaid funding to states would continue to grow.
