Here's what's in the Senate GOP's version of Trump's 'big, booty full bill'

The Senate Finance Committee unveiled its portion of President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” Monday, containing provisions on Medicaid, taxes and green energy tax credits.

The committee’s text is the final piece of the upper chamber’s version of the bill to be released, and was the most highly anticipated. It contains some of the thorniest provisions that Senate GOP holdouts have expressed concerns about, and the issues that could set the upper chamber on a collision course with the House.

Medicaid funding

Senate Republicans are taking a bigger swing at Medicaid in their version of the bill.

The legislation would effectively cap provider taxes at 3.5 percent by 2031, down from the current 6 percent, but only for the states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The cap would be phased in by lowering it 0.5 percent annually, starting in 2027.
