Here’s how the GOP will bail out insurance companies — even as millions lose their health care

reports that the Senate GOP bill contains $50 billion set aside for a market-stability fund that Republicans once decried as a “bailout” fund for the insurance industry. Overall, the bill features $15 million a year for insurers in 2018 and 2019, and $10 million a year for insurers in 2020 and 2021.

Bloomberg notes that the fund is “intended to protect insurers that cover large numbers of customers with more-costly health problems from having to raise their premiums for the next four years” and “much like an Affordable Care Act provision known as risk corridors that drew Republican fire.”
