Bill > S2447

This bill, titled the "Repealing the Trump Sick Tax Act," proposes to repeal two specific changes made in a previous reconciliation act. First, it eliminates recent modifications to Medicaid cost-sharing requirements, effectively reverting the Medicaid program (a joint federal and state health insurance program for low-income individuals) to its previous rules regarding how much patients must pay out-of-pocket for medical services. Second, the bill removes changes to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program's exclusion for orphan drugs, which are medications developed specifically to treat rare medical conditions. By repealing these sections of the previous law, the bill aims to nullify the earlier amendments and restore the previous legal framework for Medicaid cost-sharing and orphan drug treatment under Medicare. The bill also rescinds any appropriated funds associated with the original changes, ensuring a complete reversal of the prior legislative modifications.
