华盛顿 (美联社) —— 众议院的共和党人公布了一项计划,他们想通过减少给穷人的医疗帮助来节省至少8800亿美元。他们这样做是为了帮助支付特朗普总统减税带来的很多钱。

这项几百页的法律在周日晚上公布,引发了关于医疗健康问题的政治争论,这是自2017年以来最大的一次。

共和党人说他们想省钱,所以要领补助的人去工作。但民主党人担心,这会让几百万人失去医疗保险。一份报告说,未来十年,可能会有860万人因此没有医疗保险。

肯塔基州的一位议员说,省下来的钱可以用来继续特朗普总统的减税政策,这帮助共和党兑现了对普通家庭的承诺。

然而,民主党人说,这些减少开支的措施很糟糕,实际上是想取消奥巴马医改。

新泽西州的代表弗兰克·帕隆说:“很多美国人肯定会失去医疗保险。” 他还说:“如果这项法律通过,医院会关门,老人得不到需要的照顾,很多人的保险费也会变高。”

共和党人想在阵亡将士纪念日前通过特朗普的减税和削减开支法案。他们这周会公开讨论法案的不同部分,然后把这些部分合起来成为一个大方案。

【前面的政治情况还不清楚】超过十二位共和党众议员告诉约翰逊和共和党领导人,他们不会支持减少当地居民需要的医疗保障项目。特朗普自己也避免重复他第一个任期时犯的错误,并保证不会减少医疗补助。

密苏里州的参议员乔什·霍利在一篇文章里说,如果减少医疗保健的钱来支付减税的费用,这样做从道德上说是不对的,从政治上说会给自己带来麻烦。

总的来说,众议院的11个委员会正在各自写他们负责的法案部分。共和党人想通过减少政府开支来支付延长减税政策的钱。这项减税政策是特朗普总统同意的,但今年年底就要到期了。

能源与商务委员会非常重要,他们需要节省8800亿美元,而且快要完成了。他们主要通过减少医疗方面的花费来省钱,也取消了拜登政府的一些绿色能源项目。国会预算办公室初步分析说,这个委员会的建议在未来十年里能减少9120亿美元的赤字,其中大部分,至少7150亿美元,是医疗方面的钱。

这次省钱的主要方法是改变医疗补助计划和调整平价医疗法案。医疗补助计划为七千多万美国人提供免费或便宜的医疗服务。平价医疗法案在过去十五年里帮助更多人获得了医疗保险。

为了获得医疗补助,健康的成年人如果没有需要照顾的家人,每个月必须工作、学习或做义工至少80小时。这是新的规定。他们还需要每年检查两次自己的资格,而不是一次。这项法律也让参加平价医疗法案医疗保险的人更难证明他们的收入。

这些改变可能会让更多人离开这个项目,并且让继续获得保险变得困难,特别是如果申请人需要去当地的办公室证明自己的收入。但是共和党人说,这样做是为了确保只有符合条件的人才能得到帮助。

一些收入高于联邦贫困线的人,需要为部分医疗服务支付费用。但急诊等特定服务不需要付费。每次支付的费用最高为35美元。

另外,如果申请人的房子价值超过一百万美元,就不能得到医疗补助。

这项法案建议,如果一个州允许没有合法身份的移民获得医疗补助,联邦政府就会减少给这个州10%的钱。比如纽约和加州就是这样的州。如果你想通过这个法案获得医疗保险,你需要证明你在这里是合法居住的。

其他措施可能会让各州花更多钱。

很多州在联邦政府的帮助下,让更多人可以享受医疗补助。但是,新的法律会减少在COVID-19疫情期间增加的5%的补助。

此外,他们还将暂停各州用来支付大部分医疗补助费用的税。这种税通常会使联邦政府支付更多钱,一些人觉得这让州政府可以夸大他们的预算。

法案中关于能源的部分不长,但改变了拜登总统在《通胀削减法案》中提出的气候变化计划。

这项法案建议停止支持一些能源贷款和投资计划,同时让天然气开发和石油管道建设的批准过程更快。
