Senate May Delay Implementation Of Provider Tax Phase Down, Floor Vote Expected This Weekend

The final Senate reconciliation text expected late Friday (June 27) evening before a vote over the weekend could include a delayed version of the provider tax reductions that were axed earlier in the week by the Senate parliamentarian, according to recent reports that also said the final draft could include the rural hospital fund, which some senators have pushed to address concerns the bill’s Medicaid cuts would financially damage rural facilities.
