Senate Republicans plan to offer a new plan to counter Democrats’ bid to preserve health subsidies, creating a payment for people with bare-bones health coverage instead of extending existing tax credits. The proposal, written by Senators Bill Cassidy and Mike Crapo, would send money directly to Americans who buy basic health insurance, differing from the Democratic plan to extend tax credits for three years. The vote on both proposals is expected this Thursday, but neither is likely to secure the 60 votes needed, making it probable that subsidies will expire at year’s end without Congressional action.
