Senate republicans release the latest version of their health care bill, including several key changes in hopes of garnering party support.
The bill includes a revision from Senator Ted Cruz, allowing insurers to offer cheaper “bare-bones” policies.
In order to do so, insurance companies would have to sell at least one plan that meets Obamacare rules, but then could sell plans that do not meet current health care regulations.
Additionally, the new version keeps some of Obamacare’s taxes, increases funding for the opioid crisis, and would allow people to use tax credits on catastrophic health plans.
It also increases funding for states in order to bring down premiums.
