<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC ">The Senate Finance Committee unveiled its proposed changes to the House-passed version of President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;big, beautiful bill&#8221; on Monday night, which could put the two chambers on a collision course.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate proposal reflects an extension of the Trump 2017 tax cuts, a debt limit increase to avoid a potential default later this summer and cuts to Medicaid.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Senators have been warned by House leaders to make minimal changes to the bill to ensure it can pass, given the razor-thin margin in the lower chamber. There&#8217;s also a number of senators who have conditioned their support for this bill on certain proposals in the Senate version of the bill.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Senate Republicans were meeting Monday night behind closed doors to go over the proposal.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Here are potential sticking points:</p>
<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">State and local taxes cap</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate legislation as drafted would keep the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions at $10,000 a year, while the House bill offers deductions up to $40,000 per year for those making less than $500,000 annually.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Some House Republicans have said they will vote no on the final bill if the deduction is any lower than the $40,000 they painstakingly negotiated.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Senators have said the $10,000 cap is currently just a placeholder, is not finalized, and is still being negotiated. Including a value allows the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office to begin scoring the bill, but senators say the score could be modified as the SALT cap changes.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">“I called the SALT guys and said, ’Hey, don&#8217;t go nuclear on us’,” said GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who has been a key mediator between the House and Senate. “We had to put something there because we&#8217;re still negotiating back and forth.”</p>

<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">Medicaid</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Similar to the House’s version, the Senate bill implements work requirements on Medicaid for “able bodied adults who are choosing not to work and do not have dependent children or elderly parents in their care.”</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">It also increases the frequency of eligibility verifications for able-bodied adults.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Able-bodied adults without dependents can work, participate in a work training program, enroll in school, or volunteer for 20 hours per week in order to receive taxpayer-subsidized Medicaid coverage.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">It also ends taxpayer-funded Medicaid payments for abortion services and gender transition procedures and ensures immigrants lacking permanent legal status do not receive Medicaid benefits.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The biggest difference between the House and Senate plans to reduce “waste, fraud, and abuse” in Medicaid involve the provider tax, a state-imposed tax on health care providers used primarily used to help finance state Medicaid programs. Beginning in 2027, the Senate legislation would lower health care provider taxes in states that chose to expand Medicaid to 3.5%, down from 6% in the House bill, which means the burden on states to fund Medicaid could be higher under the Senate’s version.</p>
<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">Taxes</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate’s version permanently extends the Trump 2017 tax cuts, something Senate Republicans say is essential for businesses and families looking to plan for the future.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">It also includes no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, a key Trump priority. The bill allows for deductions of up to $25,000 in qualified tips, and deductions of up to $12,500 in overtime. Meanwhile, the House’s version has no explicit cap on tips and overtime deductions.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate’s bill would also offer seniors a new $6,000 tax deduction &#8212; more generous than the $4,000 deduction in the House version.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">It would also make permanent various business and other tax incentives, including expensing of investments in equipment and research and development.</p>

<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">Child tax credit</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate bill pares back the child tax credit from $2,500 in the House version to $2,200 per child. Like the House, it excludes families with no income.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The bill also establishes savings accounts for newborns, similar to the House bill.</p>
<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">Debt limit</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate package includes a $5 trillion hike to the federal debt limit, higher than the House’s $4 trillion. Congress must act before early fall to raise the debt limit or risk default.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Republican Sen. Rand Paul has made clear he won’t support a package with a debt limit increase. The inclusion of this provision means Republicans will likely lose his vote.</p>
<h3 class="vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq ">Phasing out of IRA tax credits</h3>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Senate version phases out solar energy tax credits that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act at a slower rate than the House version by allowing more projects to access the credits before they end.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN ">The Senate bill also eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars of IRA subsidies, such as immediately ending the electric vehicle tax credit and its “lease loophole,” similar to the House bill.</p>
