White House counselor Kellyanne Conway maintained Sunday that Republicans are "working on a plan" for replacing the Affordable Care Act, days after President Trump surprised members on both sides of the aisle when he declared that the Republican Party "will soon be known as the party of healthcare."
In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Conway told host Chris Wallace, "The Republican plan is manifold." But she did not provide specifics, instead going on to attack Democrats over the Medicare-for-all ideas that some in their party have embraced.

House Democrats are rolling out a plan to strengthen the Affordable Care Act that would expand federal insurance subsidies and reverse the Trump administration's attacks on the health care law — but avoids the party's internal fight about more ambitious proposals to extend health coverage.
Democrats released the bill the day after the Trump administration said it wanted the entire healthcare law thrown out by the courts, underscoring the striking divide between the two parties on an issue at the top of voters' minds.

Vermont House lawmakers have signaled support for a bill that would preserve many of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act in Vermont, even if President Donald Trump's administration is able to persuade a federal judge to throw out the law. H.524, which advanced Thursday, would prohibit insurers from excluding people with preexisting conditions or making Vermonters share the costs of preventative services. Adult children would be allowed to remain on their parents' health insurance plans until age 26, as federal law allows today.

An estimated 94,000 low-income Nebraskans will have to wait until Oct. 1, 2020, to get the Medicaid coverage approved by voters last year.
Under a plan announced Monday, those newly eligible Nebraskans will have different benefits and requirements than others on Medicaid. To get full coverage, they would have to work, care for a family member, volunteer, look for work, or attend college or an apprenticeship.

The Tennessean
A controversial plan to radically change the financing of the state's TennCare program is moving quickly through the legislature even as consumer advocates warn it could have unintended consequences for all Tennesseans.
Should the measure succeed, Tennessee would become the first, and only, state to fund its Medicaid health care program through a block grant — an annual lump sum payment from the federal government.

When the Idaho Senate came to order on Monday morning, it seemed that the work requirements many Idaho Republicans wanted to tack on to voter-approved Medicaid expansion might be dead in the water.
After all, a federal judge last week struck down such work requirements in Arkansas and Kentucky.
But the Republicans pressed on, undeterred. Senators on Monday introduced a series of amendments to an existing bill, basically cobbling together a new measure that includes some of the most controversial sideboards for Medicaid expansion — none of which were contained in Proposition 2, the initiative passed by 61 percent of voters last fall.

The Trump administration approved Utah's request for a scaled-back Medicaid expansion with a work requirement just days after a federal judge blocked similar rules from taking effect in Kentucky and Arkansas.
The approval also lets Utah cap program enrollment if the state runs out of money and marks the first phase of a plan to replace a Medicaid expansion voters approved last November with a scaled-down program covering roughly 60,000 fewer people.
